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're very happy to be able to offer this one out, and also rather cheerful about the fact that we can now hold a copy of our own too (the youtube rip has been rinsed, but it never really felt like the completely adequate way of consuming this special thing).
Originally self released in 1988, Spiritflesh’ is a masterpiece and a major reference for the early drone/dark ambient minds.
This LP from the sonically and visually shapeshifting Nocturnal Emissions project (Nigel Ayers and Caroline K) effortlessly crosses from their previous tape-cutting, avant-garde, synth pop, noise and video art forays into this delicate, yet unmistakeably 'present' post industrial, dark ambient 'scape. An album that masterfully glides from sphere to sphere, often carrying themes from one song to the next, resulting in a wholly absorbing 40mins of faraway drift.
This one is medicinal, trust us.
Aptly titled Spiritflesh (yes, this title (and Godflesh of course) may have somewhat inspired the name of the recent NoCorner signing) this record is made up of manipulated recordings that capture sounds from the Great British countryside, Church harmonium, mechanical frequencies as well as the captured 'exoticism' of sounds from London Zoo... A concoction that provides food for thought already, and which is propelled much further into the depths of perception, away from the possibility of intellectualisation.
Spiritflesh presents a sound world that feels earthly & mysterious, mechanical yet human.
Whilst dressed in a veneer of darkness, it really does move with a kind of sombre beauty - and it's this curious, alluring mysticism that carries this record through, so captivatingly, from the start to the very end... We can't recommend it enough.
Edition of 500, served on grey vinyl and in printed sleeve.
