Image
On the occasion of the the 25th anniversary of Fragment King, Nexialist is releasing three special compilations spanning recordings created and released between 1997 and 2014. In 1997, Fragment King recorded the "Demo That Exploded" and the adventure in speculative audible environments began. Above Us (FK 25th Anniversary Edition) features recordings written and produced during 2007 and 2010 within the Angel Position sessions in Weimar and Berlin. Furnace Lodge (FK 25th Anniversary Edition) includes tracks created during 2002 and 2007 predominantly within the Pathomechanical, Anatomic Music and Grey Album sessions in Ridgewood/USA, Weimar/Germany and Berlin/Germany.

It was released on CD and in digital formats in 2014 on the Megahertz Label, home of German electronic experimenters Klangstabil. Songwriting began in 2007.

In 2013 Discussions began with Megahertz on the artwork and release format. During this process the image of the "black iron prison" was created as part of an elaborate set of digital drawings created for the album. Eventually, the artwork was stripped down to a bare minimum in order to produce a run of 100 press
