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.
Gang Of Ducks unleashes a nine track mystifying trip of an LP by XIII
The title of this album is "No (The Relative Effects Of Explication)", and since this music sounds like very little else it's as though they are trying to make explicit the inner workings and processes of an Alien society or mind that us humans can never quite understand. Whether it be the indifferent atmosphere or the abstracted elements it is nearly always indecipherable and open to interpretation; a real challenge for the listener.
Cloaked in fog right from the get go, this album demands a keen ear. Rhythms emerge out of the shroud of hiss only to become entangled in winding synths and haunting drones, culminating in a wistful atmosphere as the ever present feeling of dread lurks in the wings channeled through misheard groans and chokes at the periphery. There is never a dull moment!
XIII has managed to take disparate sonic elements and use them in such a way as to create something entirely new. Echoes of Techno, Noise, Musique Concrete and Contemporary Classical are weaved together in a supremely confident and capable way. Whether it be the woozy 4/4 of "Call Trigger Gloom" combined with a stilted hi-hat and spasmodic snare drum cracks, creating an unusually familiar but completely distinctive sound. The Alien transmissions keep on beaming in the form of "Wwwww" undulating across the soundscape or the robotic chatter of "Santo" and the Bladerunner type synth work on final track "Frgle"
Essential listening for anyone with an urge to hear something different and fresh, as new fragments and sections are discovered with each repeat listen!
