Following on from three limited vinyl editions, Type now proudly presents a triple CD package including the first three, long-unavailable and newly-mastered albums from influential drone soundscapist, Thomas Köner. Since the release of these three albums in the early '90s, Köner has gone on to enjoy something akin to a cult status among musicians of all dispositions. His CV boasts not only a series of seminal albums under his own name but also membership of acclaimed Chain Reaction duo Porter Ricks and, more recently, a number of works that have seen him occupy a respected position in the installation and sound art worlds. Through the careful and measured use of gongs (recorded in different rooms and underwater) as well as homemade wind instruments, Köner's early work would become a cornerstone of the genre and part of a triptych of records which really have never been bettered. After far too many years in the out-of-print wilderness, it's a source of immense satisfaction to finally be able to share this incredibly dark, immersive music with the world once again. Housed in a triple panel digifile package.
