We actually released it but I can only agree with what Vital says. It
wouldn't be ethical to start describing how wonderfull it is. I'll guess
you'll have to wait till the Us promo's arrived at those people who want to
share his/her ideas about it. I'm not sure who's doing the Us distribution
from it but I think Forced Exposure is interested, but not confirmed yet...
Other (K-RAA-K)³ releases can be obtained through Revolver and/or Darla.
Janek Schaefer is somebody to be witnessed live... I saw him perform
alongside Philip Jeck and it was one of those memorable events. Janek with
his Triponic and Philip with all his little seventies turntables connected
with Casio, echopedals etc... Creating wonderfull loops holding it together
with a skill which showed lots of practise. Very intense and with enough
humour to put a smile on all these serious folks who do attend this kind of
events.
