Does anyone ever make it over to Ultima Thule? They still around?

As a New Yorker I lament the passing of Other Music and Kim's, and fondly remember the Great Krautrock Revival of the mid to late 90s when I could always go in and discover a new release by Spalax, Germanofone, Garden of Delights, etc, all imports for which I'd shell out $20 a pop. Bought Krautrocksampler at OM too. One of my great regrets was not spending $100 for the ultra-rare Private Tapes box set by MG. I still wake up screaming sometimes, vividly picturing it just sitting there, all alone behind the glass of that special box set display case...Ah, the ones that got away...



Ultima Thule still exists as an online mail order business, but the brick and mortar shop in Leicester closed a long time ago for financial reasons. Alan Freeman still moderates a krautrock group on Facebook that I post on from time to time.
