Death In June-'Braun Buch Zwei' Release



Considered to be one of the most influential albums of all time, the deleted original 1987 version of this album stands centrestage with works by The Beatles, The Velvet Underground, Jimi Hendrix and Joy Division. It marked a definitive shift in style for Death In June and the true beginning of a new musical genre, Neo Folk.

This digitally remastered edition was the bonus CD accompanying the 20th Anniversary Stone Circle Edition of 'Brown Book' issued in 2007, and contains 7 songs from the original album coupled to 7 (*) remixed, re-recorded and rare versions of the remaining songs.


The completely recycled paper booklet and 'Repak' is brown with black 'Ultra Coated' images and Runes featuring never-before-seen photos from the period. Stark, refreshed and beautiful.

Hardcore-Not that bad

I can't deny my past sometimes. Occasionally I will wear my old college sweatpants and lace up my Nike Diamond dunks to get coffee on the weekends typically having some sort of hardcore playing on my Ipod.
