2020 Bandcamp release:
“Needles 3” is a long lost collection of stray songs from compilations and hard-to-find releases throughout the 90s.
It contains a number of pieces unavailable elsewhere, but has become a rarity in it’s own right since it’s initial launch in 2000.
Original “gimmix” covers were all handmade, resembling the image above, before a more generic edition on CDR was made available by Beta-Lactam Ring Records.

The crowning glory for the “Dream Logik” series was undoutedly the vinyl box set.  DL Part 3 was in fact a bonus side in this lavish package and initial copies came with the hyper-limited “Dream Logik X” cd and “Burning Church (version Hot) cd. All the parts are included here, with some surprises added. – E.K.

from Bandcamp: 2002. An ambitious unpredictable odyssey following in the footsteps of “Caste O’ Graye Skreeens”.  Released on vinyl, cd and even with a gigantic piece of wooden flotsam for collectors of the exotic. The album has been alittle enhanced for Bandcamp, but in reality the sound was always healthy.
Bonus track here is the instrumental version of “Clara Rckmore’s Dog”,previously only available on a highly limited cdr which came with a collector’s edition of this beast. – EK
