Tuxedomoon - Desire - Music & Performance - Vinyl

Remastered from the original tapes, this edition and features three previously-unreleased tracks, two rare cuts and live versions, recollections and liner notes by Steven Brown, Gareth Jones (engineer & co-producer), and John Foxx, plus writings from Blaine Reininger and Peter Principle (2015) and of course some archival photos and memorabilia. A milestone in post-punk experimentation, Desire captures Tuxedomoon at their most cinematic and atmospheric. It's mood of haunted romanticism and it's category-defying blend of music have kept it influential among generations of musicians exploring the intersections of rock, electronic music, cabaret, minimal, jazz and classical music. Desire was written just before the band's relocation from San Francisco to Europe. It was recorded in the UK and released in 1981 on Ralph Records, The Residents' own label, before being reissued in 1987 on CramBoy, the imprint created by Crammed Discs to host the band's output. Tuxedomoon's considerable body of work (16 albums to date, with a new one currently in the works) remains unique, as relevant today as it's ever been, thanks to the band's visionary ability to transcend genres, and to the romantic, rebellious and imaginative spirit which illuminates their music.
