Notes:

'Apparently All The Same' was the first and only album released with MH's Under For ensemble and probably one of his most significant releases during the eighties. The album still stands as a monolith of accomplishment in terms of its poetic beauty and quiet desperation and reflects the melancholic zeitgeist of this period incredibly well. Separate to the original recordings the 2009 special edition of the album also contained Under For's legendary concert at The ISCM World Music Days in November 1983, a radical performance with some resemblance to Hall's already canonized work 'Inskription'. 'Apparently All The Same' was one of the very few Danish releases from the period that got hyped by both New Musical Express and Sounds. The re-release marked the album's 25th anniversary.
