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.
Originally released around 2008, ‘Feeling Romantic Feeling Tropical Feeling Ill’ perfectly showcases the grander-than-grand, yet brittle and below the radar string manipulations, the melodic & rhythmic synthesis of unlikely sounds, and that constant feeling of paranoid euphoria and stoned brilliance which Micachu / Mica Levi controls in that unique way.
The musical works from around that time, the film scores and collabs with likeminded nutters such as Dean Blunt, Arca and of course involvement with Tirzah contributed to Mica Levi’s (deserved) cult status, and you can get a feel for their timeless originality with this excavated gem on tape, now once again.
To our ears, this is a masterful display of honest & personal cinematics, peppered with punk attitude. It’s grand and it’s big, but in a kind of bedroom-sound way... Totally f*cking with any preconceptions of the poshness that come with connotations of classical music on Side A, before swirling the opening drama into something altogether more sombre and low slung on subsequent sides, chopping & screwing its way through scenarios of lights-off vibes, and high-as-a-kite downbeat.
Dipping through warped orchestral swarms of strings through to the most hair-raisingly intimate solo string configurations, looped, filtered and broken apart, Micachu manage to harness total immediacy with their music through rawness delivered with an utterly deadly knack for tearing at out emotions via deft arrangement of sound, and mood.
Wether in almost-harsh solace or in an embrace with the reverberations, echoes and harmonics of their own core, the cut & paste musique concrete of FRFTFI works within its own scale, its own timeline and its own rhythm.
... Your brain is the axis around which the music dances... You might as well join in, but beware - this music might change your DNA.
