New and forthcoming releases by Bureau B

LIKE A STUNTMAN: YOY (CD, vinyl with download code, download)

Their first release on Bureau B (“Original Bedouin Culture”) was highly acclaimed by the critics (“krautrock for the post Radiohead generation”) and was “record of the week” in several radio shows. The band had raised the bar to dizzying heights on their first album – with “YOY” they have risen even higher. A truly unique sophisticated sonic adventure!

ROEDELIUS/SCHNEIDER: Stunden (CD, vinyl with download code, download)

Hans-Joachim Roedelius, legendary figure in kraut rock, part of the seminal bands Cluster and Harmonia, and Stefan Schneider, founding member of the neo kraut rock band Kreidler (1994 – 1999), part of the trio To Rococo Rot and releasing music with his solo project Mapstation, present the recordings of their first collaboration. In twelve miniatures, played with piano and electronics, they unfold images that come across poetically, glorifying tranquility.

OUT JAN 27th, 2012

MOEBIUS & RENZIEHAUSEN: Ersatz (1990) + Ersatz II (1991) – reissues – (CD, vinyl, download)

Dieter Moebius is one of the most important protagonists of avant-garde electronic music in Germany. (He was part of Cluster and Harmonia.) Karl Renziehausen, visual artist and constructor of sound sculptures, was a fringe member of the Forst/Weser Uplands creative community (home to Moebius, Rother, Roedelius et al). His profound understanding of computers motivated Moebius to enter into a collaboration with him. Together they produced surrealist, minimal / experimental electronics. “Adventures in sound, a world brought to life by the most remarkable characters and atmospheres”, says Asmus Tietchens in his liner notes.
