These records are brutal masterpeices, despite what you may think of Bjork, this band is more comparable to Crass, and the sludgiest, dirtiest avant-noise band you can think of. Anyway, wanted these on vinyl for a long time, they're extremely hard to come by. Holidays In Europe and The Eye have been repressed, they're expensive, though...

That's awesome. Holidays in Europe too. I never saw Kukl, but I saw the sugarcubes support swans in the 80s when they were more like them, and they really were incredible. Fantastic band.

LOL, no not like Swans, like Kukl. They were just supporting the Swans. My bad.

KUKL is/was awesome. I'll have to be on the look out for this.

I have the originals but I want these badly. I'm sure the remasters are amazing.
Now if only it wouldn't cost me $140 for two albums.

I bought their albums at the time (cos I'm cool
![]() And for the record, it is NOTHING like Crass in any way. More like a stripped back, much more minimal Sugarcubes. I would recommend adding Holidays In Europe to any record collection. |

I wasn't really comparing it to Crass, I was trying to say you'd be largely more accurate to compare them to that band than what many people know Bjork for.

It's a bit like Kirk (as in Captain Kirk) but a bit more phlegmy I think.

According to John Peel , via Wikiquote.
I'm in real trouble with this next one, because the name of the band... well it's spelt K-U-K-L. Now how would you pronounce that? I mean given that it's some kind of nordic language that you're not entirely familiar with. Well I checked around a bit, with people who know the band and they said, well, it's pronounced 'Curcle'. So I said 'Curcle', I mean that seems, you know, feasible... daft, but feasible... so K-U-K-L, Curcle, so I went ahead and that's what I said when I did a radio programme featuring this domestically, and a member of the band phoned up and said 'No, it's not Curcle at all, it's...' he didn't say it like this at all but he said '... it's pronounced Krchk'. And I said, well how can it be pronounced Krchk, I said, cause there's no 'R' in it... there's an 'L'... and the 'L' is at the end, you know, all that kind of thing. Anyway, he says it's Krchk, so this is Krchk, and frankly the title of the piece I have no intention at all of trying to pronounce, it's spelt S-O-N-G-U-L-L and it's almost certainly pronounced 'Lester'. (plays the record) That's Kukl, pronounced Krchk and this is John Peel's Music, pronounced “Excuse me, but isn't that my ladder?” |

Thank you, gualbert, for reminding me just how amazing this board can be...repped.
Had a good laugh imagining JP as he uttered the words long ago. I've been going with the anglicized "Cue-Kul." |

I picked up Holidays in Europe recently for a surprisingly reasonable price (I'd assumed originals were hen's-teeth rare, but apparently not). It's a fine piece, oh yes.

The 'u' in Kukl is like the 'oo' in 'book' - not like the 'oo' in 'loot', so you'd say it like the word "cook" but with an 'L' on the end. Not that it matters much anyway; slavo's and atari's suggestions are okay.

I've got a cd-r somewhere with Holiday in Europe on it somewhere. KUKL is alright. I don't know about comparing them to Crass, though.
