This spam is just to let you know that Köhn and Dag-Are Haugan are both
available. Main and Toss will follow very shortly.
Here's some info. Off course some of the other k3-titles are still
available. Check www.kraak.net for this.
DAG ARE HAUGAN : 9 solitaires lp (K-RAA-K)3
Dag Are Haugan is certainly for most people not the most common name. Being
half of the legendary Norvegian outfit Alog made him one of the most
original musicians of the last decade. At the start of our label we did
carry his debut 7² on Myke Droner stating it as ³classic². A couple of
years further we received this wonderfull demo. You can call it
guitar-glitch if you want... The result comes close to a beatless Gas, a
more guitar-driven Novisad, etc... Pressed on vinyl-only, with artwork from
Rune Gramofone¹s Kim Hiortioi, this album will make you reconsider
electronica (aka the ³glitch/microsound-movement), while the guitar world
will be surprised to see how both, old and new traditions can be melted into
one brilliant artwork. The music is very introspective creating different
state of minds. Sometimes you discover yourself headbanging to what is
generally called ³ambient², while some other tracks put you in a kind of
warm blackout. Those fans who were waiting for the ideal mix between Rocket
Girl and Mego might have found what they been looking for. Ltd to 500
copies worldwide.
KÖHN : Koen dbcd (K-RAA-K)3
Very much anticipated worldwide, and a long while since his previous full
album it finally was and is clear that the third album would been something
of a classic. Meanwhile he released records/contributions on Tomlab,
Bip-Hop, Darla, and Mixer to state only a few. But nothing of all this
stand in real proportions to the immense impact of this double album. 140
minutes of pure ecstacy for brain, feet and boiling emotions. Taking up
anything you can find in musical history and transforming it into which can
only be described as Köhn. Going of raping glitch. Initiating electronica
fans to contempory classical movement, introducing pure popriffs in a
completely fucked up surrounding, incorporating the 80 revival into
something which will last forever. Taking the term drone into a structured
masterpiece, and reconstructing the term ³twisted beats² it is clear that
everyone can and should be amused, thrilled. It takes you a full two hour
of this planet into a world where you wander where you are when the final
seconds are vanishing. Time will tell, but this is the ³loveless² of this
first decade.
