20 years of ET

Enfant Terrible is active for 20 years this year… the first record was released in 2004… I am not planning much for celebrations but I want to make some highlights and overlooked records available in a new way to both the old collectors and new followers… So I will start an ET bandcamp page soon… and through this page I will do special small editions of sold out records with different (hand printed) artwork… the records will also be available in digital format through this BC page… The first two are planned… and I will screen print the special editions at Kapitaal Utrecht with whom I share quite some history around ET… I am not telling yet which two records will be the first ones… just keep your eyes out on this newsletter for that… but really small editions (11 and 20 in this case)… so you do not want to be late for these…

In the meantime two new releases on Vrystaete (|grens| and Mushroom Patience) and on Freedom Club (ЯTRA and The Untitled) are out and available…

Out now & offline soon…

The 3 expected releases by Ashburn County, Roberto Auser/Unhuman and Sturqen are out now and available from the ET webshop and the regular shops around the world… or they will arrive there shortly…

Also soon I will go offline for a summer break… you can still make an order in the webshop but I will only reply when I come back online… which is somewhere mid August…

Enjoy the music and enjoy your summer!

Out now and delayed

Finally ready are the TWINS – Make Life Before You 7″ and the Sololust – Dato EP 12″… but due to the pressing plant the Silver Age People 12″ EP is delayed… and it will only be ready in 2019 together with the next releases…

So I will start shipping the TWINS and Sololust from now on… you can expect it at the usual shops and of course it is  also available at the ET webshop.

For the Sololust you can find all infos are here…  And two full tracks are here:

All infos for the TWINS are here…  And you can listen to both tracks here:

Staatseinde K7

Staatseinde released a second tape on their own Ende Der Zukunft Recordings label. The first one was an overview of past to present never released tracks. This new tape is one filled with tracks they did with various other artists… the funny thing is that this release feels much more coherent as the previous one… despite all the different collaborations which are showcased here…

You get 11 tracks by Staatseinde teaming up with the likes of Sololust, Lovaratrax, Arpatle, Butsenzeller, Wout Waanders and more…

Stand out tracks are the three featured did with Dutch poet Wout Waanders… the tracks are great music wise… but the spoken word kind of vocal delivery also really adds something… the pieces are quite dark and have a great flow… so I hope Staatseinde will be doing more in this style in the near future…

You can check this tape on the Staatseinde Bandcamp webpage here…

Solid Space

I have to be honest… I never really was into the Solid Space tape album… of course I loved “Tenth Planet” and “A Darkness In My Soul”… these tracks I have been listening for years and years… they are absolute classics in the field of minimal (synth)… but the rest of the album ‘Space Museum’ never really did it for me…

Recently Dark Entries released the tape on vinyl (for the first time officially, so not as bootleg) and of course I wanted to have these two tracks at last on vinyl… this as the two tracks alone make this record worthwhile to have…

But… I have been playing this LP now several times and I quite like most of the other tunes on it as well as it seems… funny how things sometimes can change over time… still “Tenth Planet” and “A Darkness In My Soul” are the absolute highlights of this record but you will hear some other nice songs in case you get this record…

I have a few copies for sale in the webshop…
