About this product
Ting was released in 1992. The band decided to record the songs with mainly piano and percussion accompaniment. Hofstede put his guitar aside, Stips did not touch his extensive library of sounds and samples and Kloet did not played the drum-set, but played orchestral percussion instruments. Guest musicians were invited for most songs (mainly bass and cello) and on some songs 'Klangsteine' (musical stones), works of art by the Swiss sculptor Arthur Schneiter, were used. These stones could be played with mallets, which explains the title of the album. They could also be rubbed by hand to create a buzzing sound. On the album the entire band plays the stones, together with Schneiter and friend Swiss percussionist Fritz Hauser. The music is often quiet and melancholic, but also contains some strong pop songs, including the cheerful 'Soap Bubble Box', the lyrics of which were inspired by the artist Joseph Cornell and the Nits classic 'Cars And Cars'. The lyrics are often introverted and/or abstract, even poetic and much less immediately understandable than on previous albums. Ting is available as a limited edition of 500 copies on silver colored vinyl and includes an insert with additional pictures provided by the band. LISTEN //youtu.

The Nits are a Dutch art-pop-rock group, founded in 1974 in Amsterdam. Their musical style has varied over the years, as has their line-up, but the core members are lead singer and lyricist Henk Hofstede, RobertJan Stips on keyboards (who worked with Supersister, Gruppo Sportivo, The Golden Earring) and Rob Kloet on drums. Few bands can match their stamina How many other bands can claim to be reinventing themselves after 30 years and 20 albums? The Nits specialize in making their latest album sound as little like the last as possible. This has simultaneously guaranteed them a stable degree of success across continental Europe, where fans appreciate their integrity and commitment to playing intimate venues. Starting with their Giant, Normal, Dwarf tour in the early Nineties, the band continued to record their live shows around the world, playing gigs in cities like Vienna, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and The Hague. Hotel Europa collects these live recordings in what might be the ultimate Best Of Nits album. Hotel Europa is available as a limited edition of 500 copies on translucent red colored vinyl. The 2LP set contains a 4-page booklet.

Gina X makes her way to Dark Entries for Greatest Fits, a compilation of gems and jams from the eccentric New Wave icon. Gina X Performance was formed in Cologne in 1978 when art history student and chanteuse Gina Kikoine teamed up with synth wizard Zeus B. Held. Inspired by Patti Smith and Lou Reed, Kikoine aimed to create Inchthe absolute union of music, poetry and travesty,Inch a lofty goal that she most certainly would achieve. 1979 saw the of the classic first LP, Nice Mover, which put Held's rich electronic production in dialogue with Gina X's deadpan delivery. Songs explore androgyny, decadence, and avant-garde art in a fashion that is stylish, sexy, and more than a touch transgressive. Nice Mover quickly became a cult favorite thanks to tracks like the euphoric InchNice MoverInch and the dancefloor bomb InchNo G.D.M.Inch, dedicated to queer icon Quentin Crisp. Three more LPs followed in the coming years X-Traordinaire in 1980; Voyeur in 1981; and Yinglish in 1984. The duo continued their genre deviance throughout, exploring uptempo space disco on InchStrip Tease,Inch punk-laced New Wave on InchBabylon Generation,Inch and icy electro-pop on InchFrench Lift.Inch Greatest Fits is the first-ever double LP compilation of Gina X material. The 17 tracks on Greatest Fits were selected by Kikoine and Held, reflecting the duo's most cherished moments from their wide-ranging catalog. The record comes housed in a gatefold sleeve designed by Eloise Shir-Juen Leigh featuring press clippings and photographs, and includes an insert with lyrics and memories about each song from Kikoine and Held.
