The Pruttipal Index
What is - or rather: what could be - a "Pruttipal Index"? In books, libraries and databases, an index is usually a concise overview or inventory. It suggests that this album could be a mini-encyclopedia of the work of its makers. In economics, indexes are measurements of the current state of an economy; which, in the case of this album, could be a vitality metrics of the Goodiepal & Pals/GP&PLS/BananSkole collective that produced it. In semiotics, an index is a sign that functions as a trace (li…
Morendo Morendo - My Paris Is Called Colchester
**3LP edition of 300. All the 'pal trimmings** Itinerant radical computer musician Goodiepal presents a typically unfathomable slab of brilliance for Editions Mego. 'My Paris is Called Colchester' would appear to be Goodiepal's commission for IRCAM, Paris, mixed and recorded live during his annual show at Colchester Arts Centre. It's gotta be one of the most beguiling albums anyone will release in 2014. Across six sides Goodiepal follows a line of illest Nordic logic transporting us throu…
The Scottish Rave Whistle & The Danish Homophobic Rave Recorders
Inspired by the current crop of very good rave music currently being produced by Lorenzo Senni and Evol, Goodiepal composed these two tracks and fired em over to EVOL to see the light of day on the duo's Alku imprint. Quick disclaimer - there is no audio for this release anywhere - we have been told told that the files got lost in a HD crash last week and there is no backup - so the only way to enjoy this glorious slab of wax is to stick it on your turntable and absorb the sounds that emer…
Havet
Aweseome!!!!!This is the Goodiepal's long lost first ever album, recorded in 1990 and never before published. For years even the Goodiepal considered this to be lost, but he found the master some months ago, so we're proud to be releasing this in all its vinyl glory. The LP comes with two inserts printed in graphite black ink on heavy golden yellow paper, with liner notes and autostereograms to enhance the powerful New Age vibe. Cut by Simon at The Exchange Mastering Studios, London.
Red Man K's Bedrifter
In 2001, Peter Rehberg (then of Mego) asked Parl Kristian Bjørn Vester aka Goodiepal if he would be interested in doing something for the label. Despite meeting on numerous occasions at various events and happenings around Europe, nothing was delivered. One hot August day in 2013, a large package arrived containing lacquers for a double vinyl LP. Here it was: the Goodiepal Mego album delivered as lacquers and not a WeTransfer link. The lacquers were sent to plant and made into test-p…

El Camino del Hardcore
In 2009 we started working with the Gæoudjiparl on a publication featuring some of his graphic notation work. Almost three years in the making, this epic work has become a 192 page long book which includes tons of challenging theory, brutally detailed illustration, mind-bending scores, obscure links, a long conversation between the Goodiepal and Roc Jiménez de Cisneros, and loads of Scandinavian fun to further expand the Goodiepal's never-ending descent into the abyss of Radical Computer Music. …
Beo bio
GoodiePal is the Danish Kristian Vester, computerprogrammer for the world famous Lego-imperium, founded a long time ago by his grandfather. Relevant because this urge to program can be heard on 'beo bio'. 'beo bio' consists of 4 pieces, all coming from the same original, a track made years ago with the same name.
