The bottle is empty, the CD has stopped, there are still a few cigarettes left. So, I’m going to open another bottle, push a button on my CD player, and make use of my lighter – and then many associations will appear again which I won’t write down anymore. All I want to do now is simply enjoy. Robert Menasse on The K&D Sessions

Occasionally an album comes along that seems to capture the mood of the time. The K&D Sessions was one. In the late 1990s no afterparty, smoking session or languid Sunday afternoon was complete without Kruder & Dorfmeister blasting from the Bang & Olufsen. Now approaching its 25th anniversary the lore around this iconic release, steeped in a silvery cloud of smoke, retains a star quality which only shines brighter as time hurtles on. With the original having sold well over a million copies by this point in time, its hard to imagine a mix or remix compilation being able to inform a movement like The K&D Sessions has.

To celebrate this monumental milestone, weve created a limited boxset in 6LP and 3CD of The K&D Sessions, mastered and cut by LA luminary Bernie Grundman for a luxurious listening experience, with newly designed inner sleeves using unseen photos from the original photo shoot. Inserted in the box is a forty-page booklet containing multitudes more never before seen photos from the same shoot and notes which recount humorous tales surrounding the duo and the people who spent time with them in this epoch. Included on the 6th LP is their legendary 11 minute shimmering remix of Madonnas Nothing Really Matters. The 6th LP also contains Peter Kruders Powercut Mix of Roni Sizes Heroes and K&Ds remix of U.F.O, L.O.V.E.. In addition there are two cerebral alternate remixes of Lewis Taylor, one being completely dubbed and the other the using the vocal line for this beautiful gem, Lucky and a special remixof Speechless by Count Basic. These have been staples in K&Ds sets and now take their rightful place collected in the canon of The Sessions.
