This double-disc set does exactly as the title indicates and collects all the material Gary Mundy of Ramleh released under his solo Kleistwahr guise between 1982 and 1986. Everything originally appeared on cassette on Gary's own much lauded Broken Flag imprint, although certain titles (as noted) have appeared on limited edition vinyl reissues as well. Some material has never before been reissued, however. The material featured is as follows: Myth album (originally released in 1982, reissued on vinyl by Harbinger Sound in 2009) ‘Crusade' (originally released in 1982) Arsonicide album (originally released in 1982, reissued on vinyl by Harbinger Sound in 2009) 'Flesh Razor' (originally released in 1982 on the V/A Neuengamme LP and cassette) Mobility one-sided album (originally released in 1983, reissued on vinyl by Fourth Dimension Records, 2022) Do Not album (originally released in 1986, reissued on vinyl by Fourth Dimension Records, 2022) The material catches Gary Mundy at a time when he was exploring rudimentary sound manipulation, loops and collage effects as well as the more feedback-saturated approach of nascent power electronics music he was very much a major innovator of. This is a perfect document of those times. It arrives in a 6-panel sleeve with liner notes by Gary. In production now and should be out in late May 2023. limited to 300.
