about

Originally released in 2017, Von Bock Strasse 18 is a testiment to the firm friendships that were forged during my times in Mulheim, Germany, hanging out with the crew from the mecurial music label, Ana Ott.

This remastered version is my love letter to those who graced this address with their presence.
Headphones or stereo speakers will inhance the listening experience.

Review from Jacob An Kittenplan at Cassette Gods:

"Michael Valentine West’s sophomore release for the (ground-breakingly badass) Ana Ott imprint is a patient, meticulous, finely nuanced beast. Painstakingly stitching together glitchy tones, blown out field recordings, modular synth swells and dramatic, narrative dynamics, this release is not likely an easy listen for those seeking instant gratification. MVW’s compositions are beyond complex AND well planned out, establishing unique, meditative loops (that could easily stand up on their own) before breathing yet more life into them, just as you’d swear your ears were already super-saturated.

In just under a half hour, and spread across three tracks, “Von Bock Strasse 18” is a hypnotic, hallucinogenic journey through serenity, ecstasy, and nerve-wracking anguish. Strap on some decent headphones and find a quiet spot to listen to this one at least twice in a row, each time."
