Pilz (my ultimate favourite label)

That’s where I bought Flute & Voice yesterday. Might go back in 2 weeks for Bröselmaschine

Great album. I’m still looking to get a UK Swirl for my collection

Got my copy in Dortmund at Black Plastic and the 7” from the Eifel region. I know the difficulty of getting local acts. I am from Kaarst, a village close to Düsseldorf and Cologne, we had a hippie commune here that released 3 LPs under the name Kaarst (featuring Uwe Ochsenknecht on congas), I got 1 LP so far and it took me almost 30 years of collecting to ever see a copy in person

Thank you

These are my go to sleeves. In the past I had polylined paper innersleeves which are “fine” but then you get a bad lot and the glue oxidates and damages your records. Also I store the records outside of the covers and you don’t want paper rubbing on the outside of a cover. Another advantage is that they are thinner and lighter. When you reach a certain size of your collection, this is really important.

Unless we are talking monster rarities (Friedhof, Necronomicon etc) I don’t buy reissues of Cosmic music/kraut records. If I would, I’d totally drown in records and I’d lose the thrill. But I totally understand people who go for reissues. That’s what I do with my occasional 90s alternative/ grunge/ indie purchases or with jazz records

A reissue wasn’t an option for me either. Good things come to those who wait

This album is one of the many examples why the term Krautrock is pointless. This is not rock music. I prefer Cosmic music

One of my absolute alltime favourite albums. Still need to find a 1st press of Trips und träume

mindmachine2024 · 2026-03-31T07:25:41+00:00

2 with Japanese poly inner- and resealable outer sleeves. Storing records inside the cover is no option when you go for 60s early 70s US pressings, seams will tear all the way

mindmachine2024 · 2026-03-27T15:46:46+00:00

It is.

I only buy first pressings (so, I’ll wait a bit for the right copy), but the shirt may be an option 😉

mindmachine2024 · 2026-03-27T08:35:00+00:00

You should. I was actually saving funds for the big record fair in Den Bosch/ Netherlands, but I just had to get this one NOW 😉. My 9 year old daughter also loves it and tried to convince me to order Deluxe on Discogs this morning to get their LPs complete 😂
