one of these albums i already have on cd in my collection and wanted on my favourite format. like with so many other european hardcore stuff these records are not a question of money. i got my greedy hands on this for under ten bucks. only the wait for this was annoying, to say the least. in such cases ebay is first choice and i found an austrian seller who put this record up every once in a while with a starting bid that nobody was willing to pay. me neither because shipping was expensive. he seemed to realise that with such a starting bid he wouldn't get this thing sold and so he lowered it.
i thought that my time had come but just the same day the austrian auction ended i came across a german seller with a 1€ starting bid (i bought some other stuff from austria though - check the upcoming post). ha! and even better i won it for one lousy coin. shipping was more! a bargain to me as the record is in brilliant condition.
'golem' comes in a nice gatefold sleeve with all lyrics and liner notes on the inside. love liner notes! it's the first full length record of this swiss based band. the album was first released by ferret records from the u.s. on cd in 2000. one year later lifeforce records from germany gave it the vinyl treatment. one of my favourite bands from europe that was on hiatus but is now playing shows again. hopefully they come up with something new in near future.
lifeforce records. 2001.
