On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

  3. Donnerwetter! Kompakt is yet another German powerhouse of good vibes. Köln has produced some amazing artists - Can, MoM, the Voigt brothers, Jörg Burger... Very much enjoying the Kompakt500 retrospective at the moment on my hour-long commute to work. Can't wait to listen to this on my next day off! Danke sehr NØ

    Always appreciate your posts, NØ. I recently got ahold of these two compilations and since that seems to be this month’s theme and they seemed like stuff that you might be interested in, let me know if you’d like rips and I can post Sendspace links-

    1. aboynamedstew, great to hear from you again, my friend. I have the London Records one but would be most interested in the BSI one. You wouldn't happen to have the BSI: Various - Dub After Time? Been looking for that one for ten years or so. But thank you so much for the offer.

    2. NØ, once again your post fills a gap I didn't know I had! Now, in trade for these fine Kompaktions...
