‘’Ruff drum computer- and bubbling ambient excursions from Bonn, Germany, making their first appearance on vinyl for the new decennium’’.Newly established label Raakvlak plucks a lush synth gem from the depths of 80’s D.I.Y.- cassette culture for their inaugural release. Heil Eris / Enjoy sees the first-time reissue of the work of German synth-wizards Overflow. The group, conceived as the session band of cult tape label Brainstorm-Studio, merely released two cassettes within the timespan of one year, of which Raakvlak now has culled some of the finest moments.Out of a matrix of drum computers, synths, voices, tape FX and a flute come these five live-takes (no overdubbing used!), dedicated to the trio’s mascot Apumé, which was present at all sessions.

Land of The Damned turns 35!For the occasion, Le Backstore and On The Roof Records announce the reissue of the band's first album released in 1988, on vinyl entirely remastered with a reworked artwork cover printed with copper finish ink exactly as it was imagined by the band back in the days.We also included a 12" x 24", 4 pages insert filled with pictures and press clipping, lyrics and more.
