The impressive Modern Past album by Maximilian Schindler, better known as Flawless Issues, has so far only seen the light of day digitally and in very small, personalised editions on cassette or CD.

Now the Stuttgart label Treibender Teppich Records has teamed up with Max to finally make this famous synth-post-pop/new wave work available on vinyl.Flawless Issue started out together with Edwin Rosen and a split 12' in 2020, when they often played live together or one after the other.

FI now has over 130,000 monthly Spotify listeners, a track (`Deine Angst') with over 5 million streams and more than 200,000 `good vibrations' on YouTube.

And for fans of Edwin Rosen, Leuchtstoff, Steintor Herrenchor, Nils Keppel, Levin Goes Lightly or Betterrov, the 80s synth-pop and surf-goth sound of `Modern Past' is a must, the key album tracks are `froid', `Self-Reflection' & `Sleepless City'The limited first edition in transparent yellow was sold out within 24 (twenty-four) hours (!) at Treibender Teppich.
