Title:
Palais Schaumburg
Label:
TAPETE (GERMANY)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
TR 002CD
Tapete re-issues the classic debut album by Hamburg-based post-punk/electronic pop band,
Palais Schaumburg
. In the early part of the '80s, Palais Schaumburg were revered for their eclectic mix of minimalistic analog-electro sounds, weird speak-singing and surrealist/nihilist lyrics. After a few single releases on Zick Zack, they recorded their 1981 debut (produced by
David Cunningham
) for Phonogram Records. "Wir Bauen Eine Neue Stadt" became a cult song, and the band went on to enjoy much international critical and popular acclaim. Palais Schaumburg founders
Thomas Fehlmann
(
Flowing
and
The Orb
) and
Holger Hiller
(Mute recording artist) haven't lost any of their creativity or sense of purpose and continue to delight us with their own projects, after Palais Schaumburg's demise in 1984. This is truly weirdo dance music filled with slanted, not-disco bass grooves, industrial clangs, and shout-y German monotone vocals that absolutely charm with their stark, art-pop appeal.

Title:
Lupa
Label:
TAPETE (GERMANY)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
TR 039CD
Tapete re-issues the legendary second album by Hamburg's avant/new wave electro-pop band,
Palais Schaumburg
, originally released in 1982, and now released on CD for the very first time. Shortly after the release of their debut album, founding member
Holger Hiller
left the band, and was replaced by lyricist/vocalist
Walter Thielsch
. Produced by
Andy "Sugar Coated" Hernandez
in New York and Zürich,
Lupa
further established the band as "
great German pop constructionists
" (
NME
) with some newly-added jazz-funk fuelled horns. This re-issue of the original album includes three bonus tracks and an extensive 24-page booklet with artwork by Walter Thielsch himself, as well as private photos, press clippings, and extensive liner notes. The original photos for
Lupa
were taken by
Anton Corbijn
, whose first video effort was for "Hockey." Twenty-seven years after its original release,
Lupa
still sounds fresh and vibrant today (the album was remastered by veteran engineer,
Willem Makkee
), having lost none of its urgency and avantgardist, jazz-infused charm.
