There are collections where you can feel it straight away: someone has spent a lifetime listening here. Not just buying, but choosing. Listening, replaying, putting records aside, and coming back to them again.
This one began in the 1970s, with prog rock at its foundation. Pink Floyd, King Crimson and Tangerine Dream set the tone: broad, immersive, layered music. Records that don’t invite you to sing along, but to truly listen.
Later came the detours. New wave. Electronic experiments. And even soul, probably for special moments. Always leaning to the heavier side of the spectrum. Not easy listening, but music with its own atmosphere.
Over the past twenty years, the shelves filled with new prog, stoner rock and carefully selected reissues of forgotten gems from the 1980s. Almost everything in near mint condition. As if he somehow knew that one day these records would be held again by someone else.
There are albums you might come across more often, and editions you will rarely see. All collected with care, all remarkably well preserved.
It feels like opening a carefully built treasure chest: everything shines, everything fits, and every record tells part of a lifetime of listening.
What we found is an impressive collection that truly reads like a biography in vinyl. A lifetime of listening, bound in sleeves and grooves. Music that longs to be heard again.
