"soon after raster-noton was founded in 1996 it was a welcome surprise that our first releases had strong resonance in japan. this enthusiasm encouraged us to share our sound and visualisations on tour. our first contacts became friendships – some even became part of the label, be it as collaborators or artists. since these establishing times, we have happily returned to japan again and again with more artists from the label. our experiences throughout the country have repeatedly inspired all of us. japanese culture and its sense for detail – whether expressed in design, architecture, food or hospitality – continues to influence the label’s output. this limited edition book is a present to our artists, our fans, and also to ourselves. it is one way to remember the great moments and to thank all the people involved in our last ten years of touring in japan. we have enjoyed a perfect combination of music, inspiration and fun!

I hope it isn't the end? no that would be silly.

a "present" sold 50 euros... errr sorry but i'll pass on this one (love the label tho) even if this might be closer to art book/signed edition than strictly music.
