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 serious, serious gem of 13 sprawling dark ambient dirges from Krikor Kouchian, serving a DIY issue of a (fxcking amazing) soundtrack he made for a documantary called 'THE WRITER AND THE MURDERER: THE ADVERSARY' - ...
Musically, the release hits - in Krikor's own words - somewhere between 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets Badalamenti'... And we couldn't agree more.
And we got this thing on offer to you as an upfront exclusive no less - we are the only shop outside of Japan that has this right now.
It's not even on bandcamp. Mad respect and honourable love to Krikor for the hook up.
Reaching truly tearjerking levels of downer-bliss a la Angelo Badalamenti (Twin Peaks) and maintaining a haunting kind of warbled warmth, there's a false sense of (in)security that leads us into shadow worlds, unveiling towering horrors, but without going for a perhaps obvious oppressive horror theme - it's a deftly cinematic, but understated journey into minor melodics and E:MU sampler pitch trickery that'll fully satisfy any Twin Peaks fan itching for the worthwhile Season 3 soundtrack that never happened, lovers of O$VMV$M's darker side, Hype Williams, and more traditional noir-ish film ambience, with a splash of dubwise (Krikor knows).
Seriously, we listened to this on loop since we got the tape sent to us.
NOW, not least - we have to admit to listening to the soundtrack (several times, as mentioned) before we checked out the backstory of this documentary...
A truly chilling, jaw-droppingly evil story that looks into an example of the darkest side of human behaviour. Greed, deception, and psychopathic murder... Highlighting the story of Jean-Claude Romand's killings in 1993 (and 1988, surely), his 18 years in prison and now roaming freely again (that's pretty mad to think about, when we compare it to other 'lifers' stories.)
We have to say that the context makes for an even more chilling listen, with this reality-check in mind, and it's soundtrack leading us into some even deeper thinking, rather than just drifting.
Heavy mood stuff. This is no lightweight soundtrack - but so masterfully executed, and fully, fully worth listening to for anyone with an incline towards darker moods of music... 100% wicked.
