| ("The Continent Strikes Back") and we thaught, "well, a handful of great tracks but a lot of fillers, and liner notes full of rubbish." We decided to do a better one. Just about when we had our track list together, we were in for the realisation that someone else had been faster and the absolutely superb volumes 1 and 4 of the "Visions Of The Past" compilation took away half of our nuggets. What remained became volumes 1 and 2 of "Prae-Kraut" and we thaught "that's it." We never dreamed of a volume 3, as we had no idea how to find enough material. But we had started anavalanche. Most of the buyers of our LPs are collectors as well and suddenly we had a lot of offers for swapping, trading or selling, and - best of all - many agreed to send us their stuff to make good tape copies. It's a bit like a family meanwhile and my phone bill is enormous. A strange side effect is, that you have a handful of meanwhile really close friends you've never seen face to face.
