I thought they were from Cologne too. The Sonig offices are def in Cologne, I made my pilgrimage to the A-Musik shop (which is - was? I hope it's still going - one super rad record shop btw) and peered through the doorway to the office behind while rifling through 7"s
and I'm still going to get a little excited abt this because I do still love some of their busy 00s material (mainly the Agit Itter It It minialbum thing), even if it isn't as all-time as, oh, everything before Niun Niggung

I have just been listening to Iaora Tahiti for the first time in years and it is not an album of its time. It is so fucking good.

Every time I am just about to skip a track on Parastrophics because it sounds iritatingly like Prefuse 73 or just iritating, it suddenly transforms into something really nice. For me its a frustrating album, but I will stick with it a bit for old times sake.

this feels like it might've actually been ahead of its time
