Limited edition box set (100 copies) of 3 LP's including handmade booklet. The lid of the box has a small rose picture pocket with dried rose leaves included and ribbons glued to it and the artist's name and the title stamped on it.

There are also a few copies existing, which came in the plain white and stamped box without the rose leaves pocket and ribbons. The booklet cover of those is also alternated. The number of copies of those is unknown.

Mekanik Kommando later became The Use Of Ashes.
This box is a compilation of that transitional period.
