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 some exceptions like:
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.

Feel free to contact me!

Collecting records is a serious addiction - be warned!
Today I found a complete, copy in decent condition (for $20) - this is a bible indeed, so many legends of electronic music. This find made my day ;) ...
Telepherique & K2 - Wolkenphänomen Dec 05, 2011 (edited 4 months ago)
This album is a pure bliss to body and soul. And another milestone of space music. Rather than shocking, irritating, the noises of this album hit you like a blizzard high up in the mountains. You can really get in touch with natural forces. And In the middle of the work, the storm passes out and gives you a cristal clear view of the blue sky and sparkling whiteness of the snow that covers the area, just before the next storm or avalanche hits you. This goes beyond the limits of what is possible with soundscaping by the use of noise and powerful electronics.
Andy Portman - Music From The Wyld Nov 30, 2011 (edited 4 months ago)
Exquisite release from a literally unknown artist that roamed the UK synth and keyboard underground for a few years and then never seen again.
A serious recommendation, if someone is familar with Hiroshi Yoshimura, early Steve Roach ofr Ric Kaestner Massage Tapes, only this goes a small step farther than the Sona Gaia CD from the first artist mentioned. It adds Solo Piano to the nature sounds and synths. Find it and keep it!
Other edition:
Pianoscapes (LP, Album) Sona Gaia Productions LP-144 Germany 1984*

*(in my wantlist, yet to be confirmed, also on cassette C-144)
Mike Rowland (2) - The Fairy Ring Nov 09, 2011 (edited 6 months ago)
Other edition:
The Fairy Ring (LP, Album) Sona Gaia Productions LP-136 Germany 1984*

*(in my wantlist, yet to be confirmed)
According to a Sona Gaia order sheet, there was a full length edition vinyl LP of this album.
If so (and very likely, since a copy of Forest Flower showed up) it is difficult to find even proof
Larkin - To The Essence Of A Candle Nov 08, 2011 (edited 6 months ago)
Details about editions:
RE 1984 Sona Gaia DE/EU LP-135 (this - only mentioned on old ordersheet, yet to be confirmed)
RE 1984 Sona Gaia DE/EU C-135 (one copy is in the collection of the swiss phonographic archive)
RE 1983 Antiquity / Eastern Sun US C-223 (confirmed)
OR 1978 Wind Sung Sounds US WSS 1001 LP/CS (confirmed).
Tim Story - In Another Country Nov 08, 2011 (edited 6 months ago)
Other edition:
In Another Country (LP, Album) Sona Gaia Productions LP-107 Germany 1984*

According to a Sona Gaia order sheet, there was a full length edition vinyl LP of this album.

Necro Nov 02, 2011
What has become of hip hop after its over thirty years of existence? Such lowlife fashionable scum like usher, more rnb artists, bligg, stress or kutti mc in my own country not worth to spend any further word.
Being white, necro and all of his crew it can't be mistaken that hip hop is another cross-culture phenomenia, because he truly hit the button since his first beep. Not satisfied with any beat, tunes like bitches love to get fucked, death rap, four horsemen and several others deliver proof of a high level those artist expect from themselves. A clear and crisp execution of every detail, beat comparable to downtempo and electronica. Once hooked, you can't get off this shit. And shit is is indeed. A level of violence, brutaliy and satirical hatred is present unparalleled in rap music. Not that it further attracts also people familiar to death and blackmetal, it is a logical truth he and his followers created fusion with the most violent rock styles, rapping to hardcore metal stuff and forcing vocalists bashing their screams against his dense electronic beats without the result sounding forced at all, it cristallizes in a very natural and brilliant way.
