If you don't care about format, it was reissued on CD in Japan (I think by Sony). Despite the transience of availability in that country, it's probably still available. I don't recall the vinyl being a particularly big ticket item if you want to hold out for it. On another note, I recently added to my Koln holdings with two singles on the Erfolg label (thanks for the tip, Keef).- one by Blockwart (Marcus Schmickler and Georg Odijk) and another by Marc something or other. Unfortunately, they're both new wave/techno fusion in the vein of Schmickler's Pol and _Onea Gako_ CDs. Not that this should read as some sort of blanket condemnation, but I could never really get into NDW. On the other hand there is a fascinating LP compilation of tangentially NDW marginalia called _Asperando a Go Go_ that came out fairly recently. Despite the marquee attraction of the Permutative Distortions single (a pre-P16.D4 formation), it actually has much more potent double-take inducing jets of homebrew outsider hostility (electronic and otherwise). I certainly was surprised (and pleased by the KBD-style insert, what more can you ask for?). Comparatively, the singles compilation _Schau Hor (Main Herz ist Rhein)_ (feat actual P16.D4 single tracks plus a bunch of others) covers similar territory to lesser avail. But _Asperando_, whew. I wanna!!! I wanna!!! -rob
