Errorsmith - Superlative Fatigue LP
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.
We doubt you'll hear another LP like this - it's totally bonkers, and bridges the gap between acute club styles and tongue-in-cheek attitude with total ease. The first thing you'll notice is the sparkling, immaculate production - everything you hear feels utterly deliberate in its design and relation to the broader structure. Where this approach can have the effect of alienating listeners, Errorsmith uses it to emphasise the self-deprecating features of the music. Everything is constructed using a synth he designed himself - an additive synthesiser which can produce results totally unique from your run-of-the mill one. That pretty much defines the sound of the record and gives it that crystalline sound.
Stylistically, Errorsmith pushes for a sound somewhere between Techno, Electro, UK Funky and Dancehall - the rhythms step with a syncopated pulse while remaining, broadly speaking, around techno tempos. You'll immediately recognise these ones in the dance, and hear them in the dance you will; totally fresh club records like this end up becoming a mainstay in the bags of your favourite selectors for years after they come through.
While we fully endorse listening to the LP in its entirety, our favourite cuts come towards the beginning and end. The amicably titled 'I'm Interesting, Cheerful and Sociable' is the designated dancefloor anthem, little more than a frantic rhythm section and a restless, constantly warping synth that suggests soca, UK funky and detroit electro all at the same time while still sounding categorically unique. At the opposite end we have Retired Low Level Internal Server, a dancehall cut that's reminiscent of that Still LP also on Pan, which we had on the shop not too long ago.
This should go down as one of the most memorable albums of this year - it's unique, ingenious and a perfect reintroduction to the virtuosity of Errorsmith after that 13 year hiatus (not counting his side projects in VST & Synth modelling design and his contributions to the excellent MMM of course).
Vivacious sleeve design too, PAN doing it right once again.
This one is a standout record in all it's aspects.
