Notes:

Proclaimed as one of MH's finest works ever by an unanimous press, 'Random Hold' remains a trophy of accomplishment in terms of its musical and poetical beauty. Among other achievements the album figures on the list over the 50 most important releases in Danish rock in Politikens Rockleksikon (the ultimate Danish rock encyclopedia). Apart from Scandinavia 'Random Hold' was released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland the year after the Danish release. The album was also met with excellent reviews in these countries. Having been out of stock since 2001 'Random Hold' was re-released in February 2009 in this special edition featuring over 30 minutes of additional material from the original recording sessions.
