Following the release of his first album with the newly formed Jimi Tenor Band and an extensive period of touring, Tenor now returns to solo work with Wormhole Mystic, his new album for Hamburg’s Bureau B. The twelve pieces collected here all began with rhythm loops programmed on vintage drum machines from the 1960s and '70s. Their dry, mechanical pulse became the foundation for a new set of compositions, opening unexpected pathways into Tenor’s ever-expanding sonic world.

Wormhole Mystic will be out on November 13th on CD / LP / LTD LP with 4-Track Bonus EP / digital. Pre-orders are up now: orcd.co/jimi-tenor

Listen to the first single, Rocking Downtown, on all digital platforms.

Faust plays Faust IV live at Kampnagel - Internationales Zentrum für schönere Künste this Sunday!

Founded in Hamburg in 1969, faUSt set up a studio in rural Wümme, Lower Saxony, releasing four albums between 1971 and 1973 that blew apart the rock song form. Drawing on John Cage and the Velvet Underground, they forged an anarchic mix of rock, electronica, and tape collage. Recorded at Virgin Records’ studio in Oxfordshire, faUSt flirted with reggae and folk, deployed sequencers, wah-wah and fuzz at will: »a subtle dismantling of rock structure”, Pitchfork called it, “where beauty and absurdity coexist without hierarchy«. As the very last concert of this year’s Summer Festival, faUSt led by Jean-Hervé Péron, will now perform »Faust IV« with an eight-piece lineup ranging from Péron’s daughter Jeanne-Marie (b. 1990) to Chris Cutler (Henry Cow, b. 1947). The story continues.

In 1994, Finnish jazz musician Jimi Tenor official or inadvertently provided the soundtrack for the Love Parade: “Take Me Baby” was the name of the kick-drum hit from Tenor’s solo debut. With a musical curiosity open to all directions, he has since created a broad body of work ranging from theater productions at Kampnagel to collaborations with the UMO Jazz Orchestra and Afrobeat albums with Tony Allen. Last year, Tenor recorded a new album feat. a Finnish-Ghanaian band, which is now also accompanying him to the Summer Festival. Drawing on influences from J-Pop, NDW, and industrial music, Saeko Killy Okuchi the Japanese musician and producer creates a psychedelic musical dream world. The evening will be topped off with DJ sets by Isa Schwarzenberg & Daniel Jahn.

In Focus: Faust
Monday, July 27th, 21:00
Tune in via Kiosk Radio

With four new albums by the living members of Faust’s legendary 1971–74 line-up due for release on Bureau B this September, we take the opportunity to dive into the archives. This Outsiders-episode explores the early years of the Krautrock pioneers: a band that sidestepped genre and expectation, forging a fractured, exploratory vision of rock music through tape experiments, improvised structures, and surreal collage. It also traces the band’s more accessible side, which briefly surfaces on Faust IV—only to be subverted once again.

Out now: Our reissue of Conrad Schnitzler’s "Conal" (1981)

Available via: orcd.co/conradschnitzler

When "Conal" was released in 1981 on the Norwegian independent label Uniton Records with an initial run of 4000 LPs, Schnitzler had already long been known beyond the borders of the Federal Republic of Germany and was now appreciated worldwide as a media artist and musician. In addition to the many cassette and LP editions he released himself, international labels were now increasingly releasing his music. In the same year as "Conal", for example, the album "Control" was released on the American label DYS, followed in 1986 by "Concert" in the USA and "Consequenz 2" in Spain. Schnitzler worked tirelessly and his total work of art, including his music, was becoming increasingly multifaceted. "Conal" is a good example of this development.

Carefully remastered, including reproduced original artwork, photos and liner notes by Asmus Tietchens.

Over the years, Faust has become many things, distinct as fingers, yet united as the hand that forms the fist. This series of new LPs sees each living member of the legendary 1971-1974 line up present their own interpretation of the Faustian myth, working alone or with collaborators to create new material that reflects their contemporary vision of what Faust can be.

1. Fliegen lernen (curated by Gunther Wüsthoff)
2. Gugaruz (curated by Zappi W. Diermaier)
3. MOI (curated by Jean-Hervé Péron)
4. Ungebunden (curated by Hans-Joachim Irmler)

The first chapter of each album begins today: A first single from every record is now available to stream.
The four albums will be released on September 25.

Recorded in June 1978 during a sweltering Paris summer, Ose’s 'Adonia' captures a rare alignment of intellect, imagination and emerging technology. At just 26, Hervé Picart was living three parallel lives: scholar of rhetoric and ancient languages, journalist for the French music press (notably Best), and guitarist /bassist in progressive garage bands. Drawn increasingly away from British prog toward keyboards and synthesizers, he began envisioning a more spatial music situated somewhere between Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk. That triangulation would define 'Adonia'.

Out July 17th. Available for pre-order: orcd.co/ose
