4. WANTLIST / TRADING

s a l e:
Scroll down

w a n t:
But be aware that
1. For most of the releases, I do not know if they were released on LP.
2. If I have a CD or Cassette both in my collection AND in my wantlist
.. this would mean that I'm after a vinyl copy of this title!

Most items on my wantlist are neither pending or accepted to Discogs.

==>> with following exceptions:
Quiet Music 1
Now
Anthology - A Music West Collection

This is because I do not submit releases I do not know if they really exist and/or do not know exact release details such as release date, exact catalogue#, credits, exact title and tracknames, tracklist or tracklength (LP's may have abridged or less tracks than CD or MC editions due to fit format lengths -> also they may appear as double albums due to the same reason) etc. .
Some of these releases may appear as vinyl only on other labels than indicated.

Labels like
Estúdio Eldorado from Brasil;
Jigu Records, Seoul Records, Samphony Records from Korea;
Omagatoki Co., Tokuma Japan Communications from Japan
and possibly many others issued a lot of titles from USA and Europe on Vinyl (in some cases till 1995!), including most labels that are in my wantlist.

See below for a list of "key" artists and labels on which I focused my activities as a collector.

Feel free to contact me!

Catscan - Capture In Distress - 16-Oct-07 05:21 AM
Hearing this gem today nearly after six years of its creation still shivers my bones to the core. This and the following two volumes of the Ltd. series are absolute masterpieces in the history of electronic music/techno/hardcore and totally obliterates this dull definitions as it goes beyond it. Crambling back to the the roots of innovative electronic sound and spending countless $$ on essential trance and space music, the respect and impact of Bart Kok's work consolidated. Take by example the celestial and cinematic spheres of track 1 leading into an empowering experience of bass and rhythm, spiced with sharp, clear and crisp instrument programming or the deep entrancing structures of track 2 which examinate everything which was ever achieved in repetitive experimentalism and early techno, culminating an a stunning breakdown - not to speak of track 4 capitvating apocalyptic prophecy of technological intelligence "coming from a different hemisphere". Don't forget getting down from the trip!
Writing this I wondered no one else reviewed his works so far. This hopefully never gets reissued since it is valuable to treasure and spend every penny on as long as this is avaliable.
One of the greatest works that ever was released on The Third Movement and a serious recommandation for dedicated DJ's and e-music affected worldwide.
