Erick "CKrystall" Moncollin AKA Dr. Strange is active in art from the late 70's until today. In 1982 he released his first album Jazz Mad which is an undisputed masterpiece of electronic music. During the years he developed his style in music, drawing and performances but despite all he never changed. 2008 appears productive for Erick. Earlier this year he released the "Minilab" 12"/7" combo on Anna-logue records and now we present you 3 new born tracks. Again the Clogsontronics double media format was used. The 7" vinyl EP is accompanied by a mini CD containing the same tracks. To emphasize his 30 year activity in art in 2007 he decided to finalize the drawing of a poster he started in 1977. A high quality full-color reproduction in big A1 format is included with this Clogsontronics package so that besides the music all can enjoy another aspect of the work of this great artist. COD-ADN' is limited to 450 hand-numbered copies.

Way back in 1982 after their first demo tape was no reason for two record companies to give them a record deal, the members of Ensemble Pittoresque invested into more equipment to record and release their first album themselves. In November 1982 they gathered all their songs, idea's and equipment to start recording in a squatted monumental building in Wassenaar called Huize Rijksdorp. Clogsontronics released this what later would became their best known record in the beginning of 1983. Called For This Is Past, the album title also refers to Störung's This Is Future album. Now 25 years later this collectors item is re-released in the new Clogsontronics format as Vinyl + CD in one package. The package features a Hansaboard sleeve with glued-on picture, inner sleeve with lyrics and credits as well as two "HoSuMuKu Collective" stickers (the never established art collective). Again the original mastertape was used. With minor sound enhancements and pressed on 180 grams vinyl as well as offered on CD, the quality of the re-issue clearly surpasses the original release from 1983. Limited edition, 700 hand-stamped and matched numbers for Vinyl and CD.

First released in 1982 as SG002, Clogsontronics has re-released the Störung album 'This Is Future'. The original mastertape still in perfect condition has been used for this re-release. Carefully some minor corrections were applied to make it sound like it should have compared to the original pressing. Clogsontronics presents this product in a new concept: A release both on vinyl and CD in one package. The buyer gets the art and analog feeling of the vinyl as well as the convenience and technical quality of the CD. For best results the vinyl was cut using the DMM cutting process and pressed on 180 grams vinyl. Also included in the package are 2 stickers similar to the ones the band used for promotion back in the old days. The release is limited to 700 hand number stamped copies (matched numbers for both vinyl and CD) with lyrics and credits on the inner sleeve.
