Nick Mitchell Maiato of One Eleven Heavy is doing a vinyl album for Was Ist Das? We will be taking pre orders and giving you your first taste on August 19th. Why then? It’s the 15th birthday of Was Ist Das? Some of the songs were for the third One Eleven Heavy album but due to the Corona situation they can’t get together and instead a series of solo albums under the One Eleven Heavy presents banner are on the horizon.

In other news, the United BIble Studies and Bird People albums arrived unexpected early and begin shipping today instead of in 2 months time. Also coming out before Nick’s vinyl will be an astonishing solo CD from Kawabata Makoto and a mind-melting blu-ray. And general merch seen as how its our 15th year.

In review news we have quality entries to the Krautrock album review database. I’ve tackled the delicious compilation of vintage, unreleased Roedelius , James Jackson Toth [of One Eleven Heavy/Wooden Wand] has taken on Edgar Froese’s solo gem “Episilon in Malaysian Pale” which sounds like a craft beer but is actually a tropical wig out classic whilst Stuart Douglas [Obverse Books main man and Sherlock Holmes writer] has bravely tackled Can’s “Out of Reach”
