Erring And Errant was first released on Bollen's Working Records in 1985 and has become an important and quite sought after slice of low country synthwave with mint copies fetching over 100 euros on the secondary market.  This 2014 re-press on Dark Entries is superbly mastered and includes three additional Van Acker produced tracks which originally appeared in 1984 as part of a shared album. The music crosses over between synthwave, goth & industrial and makes a bloody good listen from beginning to end.

  Luc Van Acker & Anna Domino - Zanna [WAX 23 UK 1984 24-Bit FLAC] He was a Belgian electronic pioneer and future Revolting Cock, she was the daughter of an American serviceman, born in Japan and honorary Belgian. Zanna was their collaboration, released back in 1984 on the European aem of Wax Trax Records. The title track is a sultry affair pinned down by an upfront beat and made all that bit special by the Domino voice, the flipsides are two Acker solo efforts, one of which featuring the violin of Blaine L. Reininger. Hello Sailor! A1 Zanna B1 Fear In My Heart B2 Travelling

Luc Van Acker - Untitled [12" ZAS 002 BEL 1982 24-Bit FLAC] Most will recall Van Acker as a Revolting Cock and a member of Arbeid Adelt!, this untitled EP is pre-Cocks and was only released in Belgium. Expect noise ....and then more noise over manic percussion whilst Luc grunts away in his own manic style. Play loud! A1 Untitled A2 Untitled B1 Untitled B2 Untitled
