Label: Froh & Munter Records

"This collection - the second retrospection after the DVD/CD "Musik Und Mehr" in 2009 - is composed of three albums á 80 minutes (CDr or cassette) that recall the past twenty years of DIAMETRAL and CLAUDIUS LOIK and side projects like THE JOHN DOE EXPERIENCE, drawing not only on regular album tracks, but also (predominantly!) on live recordings, remixes, alternative versions and stuff... The limited physical editions (handmade CD-Box / handmade Tape-Box) feature an exclusive extra CDr with previously unreleased or ultra-rare tracks and TONS of bonus material like two brochures with extensive liner notes, mini poster, pictures... The digital download in turn (that is included when you purchase a box...) contains audio files of radio interviews, texts, reviews and stuff. So, in conjunction an almost complete image of this (tragic...) musical project accrues (well, at least i hope so...), where these single songs here (without all that material) might appeal a little arbitrary and fragmentary."

(Claudius Loik, Berlin 2017)

Edition of 14 copies.
