Single LP edition of Poesia Sonora dagli Archivi di Arrigo Lora-Totino

In 2024 Jan van Toorn’s Slowscan was about to release a double-LP with previously unpublished material from the Lora-Totino archives, when the pressing plant went bankrupt.

Aufruhr zur Liebe – 3×3 = NEIN

Posted on by Anneke

Starting in 1983, Aufruhr zur Liebe consisted of musicians from bands such as Rosa Extra, Feeling B, Antifaschistischer Schutzwall (later Planlos) or Ornament & Verbrechen.
