addicted-to-music collector & dealer, dj & musician. my physical shop is here: www.riseikel.de
my vinyls / cds / tapes are described in a "conservative grading" way to avoid disappointment. if i see scratches, i put the record / cd on and listen to it. so, if i say 'unhearable', it should be correct.
i don't sell any record / cd with hearable damage like cd-jumping or ugly loud vinyl cracks (except when explicitly indicated and described). there is a limit to 'lagerfeuer' (campfire-crackling), no crack-per-round! i don't sell crap - i put it in the garbage (so the record / cd gets rare :-))
please feel free to ask any question: www.riseikel.de

Always loved this album. Very lively and light. A bunch of jazzy melodies, a celebration of music, a wonderful folk-rock goodbye to their prog-rock times. The orange reissue sounds fine.

Very very funny! For 30 years now I dance to this phunky groove and laugh while listening to the tictoc drama.

Jimi Hendrix - Both Sides Of The Sky
posted a review of Jimi Hendrix - Both Sides Of The Sky. over 2 years ago
If you like the idea that Mr Hendrix is a side-musician on half of the tracks, this is a fantastic compilation. A lot of heavy drama blues. Tracks recorded in 1969 (one in 1970), well reproduced/remastered in 2018. Standard today, hey!

A wonderful mix of sounds and grooves, presenting the state of art in 1996. The tracks still sound fresh and driving in 2023. I love the (fake?) swing bass (on Rico's Helly and others). Some tracks have this standing-fully-on-the-brakes dub mood, pure... See full review

Great record! Early electro at its best. Start with the B-side! B1 a noisy chaos, B2 a cool groove, A the XXL. All rather dry and direct. IntelligentDrugMusic?

All three 12"s are full of fantastic power electro madness, in 1983, in the sound of Claro + Excess. Some weird b-sides. And all very dancable, too!!
(Or, as we Yellowers say, another strike of a genius called BB)

I love the Machine Component 4x7". Each record is pure noize, real noize, an orgy of sound. Brutal, hynotic, great, annihilating ;-)

The B-side is most kicking! 303 Delight is the definition of acid. Funny and extremely dancable. B1 is a bit straighter but also well played machines.
A1 rather boring, with angel voices. A2 intense and dark...............

Music is the Art in Time and here the Music lets stand still Time sometimes. Infinite grooves in empty spaces. For me one of his most pure minimal albums, an extreme dub experience.
A vinyl edition would be fantastique !!

All tracks are extremely well produced. 64 channels, ultra-stereo. Close to 3D. The sounds are wonderful, rather analoque for me, some basslines below zero. Overwhelming. Follow the artists!

Tracks 1 to 9 come as a tuff breakcore compilation. Mostly pure hardcore. Only for the headstrong ;-)
Tracks 10 to 15 consist of more or less industrial ambient soundscapes. No beats.

What a fascinating little pack of groovy tunes! From oldschool funk to phreak phunk - yez! Some tracks start a little bit too simple, much dry sampling, but mostly they build into this typical hysteric Hardfloor acid style. Play loud!

I saw this oldie from 1970 in the Hipgnosis book in 2022. Bought the reissue. The album sounds fantastic, with a wide range of sounds and compositions, and it's like a lexicon of progrock for me. Presenting many styles, from Jane to Gentle Giant to... See full review

Very underrated very underrated. Half of the tracks are ultradark ultracool downbeat grooves, with vocal samples from films or radio, some really catchy. On some tracks they play some lovely pop, with girliee voices. Irony? Maybe not.

I am not the biggest fan of the Hafler Trio. Many recordings I heard were a little boring, laidback soundscapes. And the 'scientist' image was never interesting for me. And I don't care about '4 inserts'. But this 12" is a wild collage of moods and... See full review

A wonderful compilation of remixes !!! Many tracks are based on drum'n'bass, a trend of 1997, but mostly they work well with the 'old' krautrock melodies. The rest are more noisy reinterpretations of CAN tracks, all fascinating. Only fallout: Westbam.
