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.
Fresh in the post via Brooklyn's Unseen Worlds imprint we got our hands on a stack of this killerrrr LP of almost-lost 90s industrial-leaning experimentalism from C-Schulz, re-presenting his cult classic early recordings, packed with no shortage of humour and some of the most far-out variety heard in a long time.
Seriously good stuff this, proper mind-melt collages and straight up off-kilter bangerz - fully original and highly creative stuff - this is real-deal experimental music.
And it seems that the vinyl issue has not found it's way to many stores around this side of the globe... Plus, the price is nice.... just sayin'.
‘Reis’ kicks-off with a 10-minute low-key epic of engrossing acousmatic sorcery & concréte mastery. Synthesised bubbles and birds nestle amongst Eastern mantras and passing locomotives. A heavy-breathed beast smokes in the corner, occasionally tooting on their spectral bassoon. A looping horror-synth derails whilst children giggle innocently/terrifyingly.
‘Meister’ is 9-minutes of swaggering noir-jazz mischief. A spiralling big-band sample careens round for 3-mins before until a chanting voice enters the mix, dictating orders in an unidentified language. Most obviously recalling Nurse With Wound’s Lynchian escapades on ‘Huffin’ Rag Blues’ (but that wouldn’t appear for another 17 years). The beat marches on&on&on with ever-mounting immediacy; an early 90s dancefloor pulser like no other!
The B-side comprises of 11 shorter pieces: a cinematic suite starting with ‘Ein’ & ‘1972’; quick 50-tabs-style skits of Muzak, jingles, Coke-fizz, tape-zaps & Schlager. ‘Klang’ is a prangin’ plink-plonk creeper-ballad. Another highlight ‘Barbapapa’ breaks up the second side, a bumpin’ lo-fi disco beat emerging from ethereal choir. ‘KreuzChor’ sounds like two men forced to recite hymns whilst being flagellated by a laser-whip. ‘Star’ gets pace going again with Midi-eval psy-rave energy, Coil fans ahoy! After ‘Nr.5’, a short German monologue & creepy music-box duet, ‘Kurze Flitze’ flips the switch once again and hammers home a trumpet-splattered 150-BPM NDW stomper.
A totally unique artifact resurrected, including instant download of expanded ‘Frühe Jahre’ version featuring another 7 brilliant tracks from the same sessions.
Vinyl reissue + DL code w/ extra tracks.
Re-mastered by Rashad Becker.
