Baur - Pecundang
How to use the reserve function
If you'd like to purchase items from our site but want to save money on shipping costs, you can use our reserve function to combine your orders over an unlimited period of time, and ship them together for one combined shipping price when you are ready.
Just hit the 'reserve' button at the checkout page as your shipping option when you've finished making your order, and your order will automatically be held in reserve here until you are ready for us to ship everything to you.You can keep as many orders in reserve with us via our site as you like, until you are ready to ship. Just send us an email when you are ready to ship your reserve orders, and we will get in touch with the combined shipping price, or ship for free if you have exceeded the minimum order amount for free shipping to your address.
Can the reserve function be used to get free shipping? Yes - If your combined order total is more than £50 within the UK, over £150 within the EU, or over £225 worldwide, we'll ship your order to you via courier service, for free.
Here's a step by step guide to using it:
1. Click on the account icon to log into your account.
If you don't have an account, please click 'create account' to make one. If you had an account on the old RWDFWD site, please create a new one with the same email address used on the old site - this will ensure your previous orders are brought through to your new account.
2. Add records to your cart as normal.
3. When you're ready to check out, select 'ship'.
4. Then select 'Reserve items' on the shipping method list, then continue to payment.
5. Once payment is complete, your order will show in your account as 'unfulfilled'. We will have put all the products aside in reserve for you to combine with other orders and ship later in bulk.
6. When you're ready to ship all the items you have in reserve, email us on info@rwdfwd.com and we will calculate the shipping due and arrange for payment to be taken.
7. Sit tight and wait for your records to arrive in the post!

EU Order info
Unfortunately, the UK is no longer part of the EU - This means that certain shipments sent to addresses there from us may be subject to tax and / or import duty - All orders sent from RWDWD are sent ‘DDU’ - That is, duty unpaid - any import tax and/or duty is the sole responsibility of the buyer.
If you would like to use our reserve function to group several orders into one large shipment, we can arrange for it to be sent tax and duty pre-paid so you don’t have to worry about it at a later date - Contact us for more information.
A rare piece from Indonesia's Divisi62 label - We got five copies dropped to us by hand delivery, Bali to Bristol!
Keen RWDFWD checkers might remember that we got that RMP / Wahono tape on Divisi62 in some time ago... It's great to now have another piece from this wicked (and one of the few!) Jakarta-via-Bali experimental label.
We're big fans of this one, glad it found it's way to us. Baur's 'Pecundang' is a unique dive into worlds of skewed industrial wonk, with an extra grubby, hallucinogenic splash of industrial dub and headbanging noise attitude... Clanging found-sound percussion and instrumentation that (maybe by default, but still) remind us of Senyawa, goes head-to-head with 80s digital dancehall claps and left-legged, fractured remnants of rave-chug. We hit walls of dizzying feedback. slurred voices go in conversation with acidic synthlines dug out of the echo chamber... It also kind of fits in with a certain gritty strand of 'Bristol sound', sitting somewhere between early Jackson Veil Panther, Giant Swan, Yokel, Spiritflesh and much of the ATC output... but don't assume... because Baur is definitely coming with a singular melted headtop approach.
This album goes real headsy and we find highly detailed, compositions cloaked in a deft amount of sonic grit.
...It's a listen thrice-and-it's-extra nice type vibe.
Five - often longform - tracks make up this tape, counting in at around 30mins total run time, often kicking off or ending like a kind of stretched journey through different scenes, dark and dimly lit at times, and sometimes wide and open.
For example, those big phasers and delirious bell melodies that rattle over a muffled voice in (we assume) indonesian, as the end-point of 11min oddysey 'Terowongan Jadi Underpass'... Landing us in some real psychedelic Twin Peaks style black lodge scenario, with a touch of funeral, or sombre muted trumpet, is not where we expected to land after those tumultous drums, but we certainly felt more rewarded and intrigued for it.
The next cut goes even deeper into the dirt, with bruised drums making tremors through low-hanging mist and toxic fumes from above... Stay crouched and make your way through this apocalyptic end-time scene, and you'll be rewarded with an angsty, open spaced atmosphere that manages to conjure (even if subtly!) the anthemic atmosphere of a 00's darkside jump up DnB tune, but steering far away from cliches, drifting more towards a dada kind of attitude, even leaning into a satanic Jodorowsky kind of mindfxck....
It's a trip... A bad trip, but you'll be cleansed afterwards, promise.
All seekers of twisted scuzz, sideways-headbangers in search of sonic gateways into other worlds... Please do step inside, and enter the tunnel to Baur's 'Pecundang'...
