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.

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.
Gatefolded aural pleasures on Amsterdam's Lullabies For Insomniacs -
Some of you may have tuned into their Red Light Radio show of same name, or picked up on their first vinyl issue, the excellent Sugai Ken 12"...and if you haven't... Well, you're here now, and you should definitely take a dive into their vast sound.
The latest comes from New Jersey's 'Unearth Noise' aka Roger Berkowitz. Having exercised many forms of sound & noise over the last few decades, taking trips and experiences from traditional music theory, Ravi Shankar (his influence resonates strongly in this one) as well as the unhinged side of punk and tape-loop experimentation.
Across two discs, finely presented in a suitably spun-out and ethereal way, Prayer And Resonance is a transcendental ascension through endless internal rhythm and endless drones, at times elevating and airy (like the excellent 'Redemption for example) then taking on shades of ominous darkness and confusion before we drop right back into something unsettling yet soothing.
This LP is brain exercise of the highest order, the kind of album that has therapeutic qualities... But don't you dare file it with some sort of throwaway meditation music, this record is much more provoking and intelligent both in it's musical tradition and in terms of it's off-kilter experimentation through unusual harmony and rhythm. The sheer depth and intensity is pretty incredible on this one.
The clips won't do this justice, it's best to let this one ride and let it fully consume you.
Highly recommended.
Pressed on heavyweight 12", double disc.
