Ensemble Pittoresque

Way back in 1982 after their first demo tape was no reason for two record companies to give them a record deal, the members of Ensemble Pittoresque invested into more equipment to record and release their first album themselves. In November 1982 they gathered all their songs, idea's and equipment to start recording in a squatted monumental building in Wassenaar called Huize Rijksdorp. Clogsontronics released this what later would became their best known record in the beginning of 1983. Called For This Is Past, the album title also refers to St�rung's This Is Future album. Now 25 years later this collectors item is re-released in the new Clogsontronics format as Vinyl + CD in one package. The package features a Hansaboard sleeve with glued-on picture, inner sleeve with lyrics and credits as well as two "HoSuMuKu Collective" stickers. The original mastertape was used. With minor sound enhancements and pressed on 180 grams vinyl as well as offered on CD the quality of the re-issue clearly surpasses the original release from 1983. Limited edition, 700 hand-stamped and matched numbers for Vinyl and CD..
