[Orphax]

Machinist - Of What Once Was (Moving Furniture)

Wouter van Veldhoven - Schetsjes

This ain't no album.....yet  ;-)
But damn, are those sketches good.

My list as always will have to wait until the last week of the year. Narrowed my shortlist down to 45 now (though ordered about 20 new albums last 1 1/2 week) so still some work to do.
Though, sick at home now so got loads of time to listen to music while vegetating on the couch...

[Le Berger]

Well it's a mini-CDr / EP I ordered straight from him, green leaflet with cellophane like sketches of reel-to-reel installations and so on. Only says schetjes on the CD, so I assumed it was the name.

[Orphax]

Ohh wait, it is that ol 3" from 2007 or so

Or did he just release a new one without telling me :-o

[Le Berger]

It's a mystery!

any more info on this, rutger?

[machinefabriek]

Ralph,
It's quite hard to find some info about the Around book/cd...This is the best link i could find: http://modisti.com/n10/?p=6672

[StephenVitiello]

9. V/A - Pocket: 1. Around (cd+book)

any more info on this, rutger?

Just a note to say I ordered it after seeing Rutger mention it sometime ago and it took 3 months or so to receive. I was just about to request my money back when I got an email followed by the book. So, a bit slow and not a lot of info but it did come!
