Edition of 125 hand-numbered copies (this is 15/125) with hand-made covers.

A 1990 split LP pairing two of the key Dutch drone outfits of the decade's opening, co-released by Frans de Waard's Korm Plastics and De Fabriek's own house imprint. Beequeen had debuted only the year before with the Mappa Mundi cassette (edition of 200 on Korm Plastics, 1989), so their side of the record is effectively their first vinyl statement.

On the other side, Technological Aquiver, an occasional outfit drawn from the wider orbit of De Fabriek, the collective Rob Boye had been running out of 's-Hertogenbosch since 1981. De Fabriek's own aesthetic across the Eighties had been one of the most eccentric in the Dutch industrial underground, ranging from hands-on tape collage to droll pseudo-commercial jingles, and Rumbling...Ravage... takes the darker-droning side of that lineage.

The pairing catches both groups at a formative moment: Beequeen finding the slow-accumulation grammar that would define the next decade of their output, Technological Aquiver extending the De Fabriek method into heavier industrial drone territory. A significant artifact of the early Korm Plastics catalogue, and a document of the Nijmegen and Den Bosch scenes before either became widely known outside the Netherlands.
