\"\"Elim Hall was a fairly obscure alternative band that \u2013 believe it or not \u2013 was signed to Reunion Records in 1986. Their debut release Things Break<\/em> pretty much sounded like nothing else that was on Reunion or any other major CCM label at the time. Their sound was heavily influenced by early U2 \u2013 and I don\u2019t mean Actung Baby<\/em>. This album was out before Joshua Tree<\/em> \u2013 so think really, really early U2 (as well as other early 80s alternative bands). In 1990, the band released an independent cassette called Let It Thrive<\/em> and then called it a day. Both of those albums were combined by the band and released as a CD-R collection in 2003 through their website. I recently contacted Glen Teeple and found that they do have some copies left. The packaging is a bit DIY around the edges, but you could probably honestly ship the whole thing off to a major label and have them manufacture it and it would look professional. Well \u2013 they might need to update some of the technology on the CD-ROM enhanced section \u2013 I have a hard time getting some things to open \u2013 but I could still see the video. This is a great obscure gem for those that like what was kicking around in the early to mid 80s underground. I can\u2019t guarantee that it will be available forever \u2013 so be sure to grab a copy while you can.<\/p>\n[2003 Independent | Purchase: themusicroom.net\/elimhall\/<\/a>]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
