Conrad Schnitzler (1937-2011), composer and concept artist, is one of the most important representatives of Germany"s electronic music avant-garde. A student of Beuys, he founded Berlin"s legendary Zodiak Free Arts Lab, a subculture club, in 1967/68, was a member of Tangerine Dream (together with Klaus Schulze and Edgar Froese) and Kluster (with Dieter Moebius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius) and also released countless solo albums. The blue album ("Blau") from 1974 was Schnitzler"s second solo LP More

"Auf dem schwarzen Kanal" is one of the most outstanding, most sought-after releases in Conrad Schnitzler’s
extensive catalogue. It was the only Schnitzler record to appear on a major label and saw him flirting with the
experimental new wave sound that was emerging in 1980, particularly on the title track. Nevertheless, it still managed
to sound idiosyncratically unlike any other music around at the time.
Recorded with Wolfgang Seidel at Peter Baumann’s Paragon Studio in Berlin, the four tracks take us on a caustic,
dissonant mutant disco trip which has lost none of its fascination in the years since.
It gives us at Bureau B great pleasure to reissue this long lost work!

The Works of Conrad Schnitzler will always be important. Not only for m=minimal. Ricardo Villalobos and Max Loderbauer were so fascinated by the "Zug" that they immediatly accepted to deliver two reshapes of this milestone of electronic music. (We already released Zug on vinyl - mm-001lp) Max Loderbauer is a veteran of the Berlin "techno" scene, who became known with his project "Sun Electric". For his current project NSI and as a member of the "Moritz von Oswald Trio" Max Loderbauer enjoys a worldwide reputation. His great cooperation with Ricardo Villalobos, for the legendary ECM label, appears in many "Best of 2011" lists. Richardo Villalobos is one of the leading techno DJ / producer / musicians. He influenced the scene for more than 15 years. The "aktion" mix targets with 100 percent certainty on the dance floor, but is also suited to wake you up in the morning. DJs need this twenty minute mix as a tool. Burner. The "Sorgenkind" mix is not for the mainfloor but for fans of the broken beats. Everybody who enjoyed the RE-ECM work of the two will love this 15 minutes mix. Schnitzler / Loderbauer / Villalobos = Dreamteam More

After dipping into the archive to deliver a series of essential reissues, Bureau B continue to encourage the chaotic brilliance of Faust with an LP of brand new music curated by originator Zappi Diermaier and a band of musical friends, including fellow founder Gunther Wüsthoff. Over the years Faust has become many things, each as separate as the fingers, but as together as the hand which makes up their eponymous fist. From 1971 to 1974 the Hamburg band blazed a bold sonic trail, helping to create the distinct and delirious strand of German music we"ve come to know as Krautrock. Uncompromising, innovative and experimental, their releases in that period, and the stories accompanying their creation, are nothing short of legendary, and the fact that after a hiatus, the band returned and remained active in a variety of separate and simultaneous incarnations is entirely fitting for these musical revolutionaries. On Blickwinkel, Diermaier"s incarnation embrace synchronicity and chance in order to capture the moment in a six track snapshot of industrial churn, unsettling ambience and psychedelic motorik. More

"Like everyone else in 2020, all of a sudden we found ourselves in the midst of a global pandemic and weeks of isolation at home, and so NEOSTALGIA also serves as our personal Corona diary. We got interrupted in between by film projects, so it took a little longer to get to the finish line. Which makes us all the happier today to finally hold this album in our hands." - Heiko Maile + Julian Demarre More

Sähkömies is Jimi Tenor's solo debut from his NYC period in early 90's. Sähkömies (Electrician) is a mixture of great melodies embedded to Tenor's first ideas of his SunRa-flavoured jazz tableau. The album is combining Tenor's smokey sax with lo-fi electronics and experimentations with techno synths like Roland 303&606. More

Nachdem 2023 der technotropische Pop von Supersempfft durch die Wiederveröffentlichung der zweiten LP "Metaluna" (1981) vorgestellt wurde, beamt sich das Hamburger Label Bureau B 2024 ein paar Jahre zurück, um mit "Roboterwerke" (1979) das herausragende Debüt der Hessener Band zu präsentieren. Das kollaborative Vehikel karrt durch den Kosmos wie ein Hochleistungsclownsauto, das gewagte Akkordprogressionen, technische Innovationen und einen Haufen Hooks hinter seinem Cartoon-Chassis verbirgt und die glücklichen Hörer*innen mit auf seine Spritztour nimmt.

In 1974, Cluster entered the sugar era. This doesn"t mean that they had finally arrived in their promised land, but they had simply moved from Berlin to the country, to a small place called Forst on the river Weser. Many a thing had changed for band members Moebius and Roedelius since Cluster II: They had moved from boisterous Berlin to this calm rural village, they had founded the band Harmonia, had set up their own studio and had bought new equipment. As a result of this and many other things, new impulses were noticeably spurring the evolution of their music. The album Zuckerzeit ("sugar era") launched a revolution for Cluster. More

Ja, Panik sind zurück! Während das letzte, experimentellforschende und in viele Richtungen mäandernde Pop-Album "Die Gruppe Ja, Panik" (2021) ihr überraschendes Comeback nach siebenjähriger Kreativpause markierte, ist "Don"t play with the rich kids" nun so etwas wie ihre Rückkehr als RockBand. Als die Gang aus dem Burgenland, die sich spätestens seit "The Angst And The Money" (2009) in unser aller Herzen gespielt hat. Wir sehen Stefan Pabst, Sebastian Janata, Laura Landergott und Andreas Spechtl auf dem Cover-Foto sanft umhüllt von einem Tuch am Strand von Nirgendwo. Es hält die Band nach innen zusammen und weist gleichzeitig eine klare Grenze nach außen: Wir sind hier, und Du bist da! Und es scheint nahezu unmöglich, in diesen inner circle hineinzukommen. Eleganter lässt sich das weltweit grassierende Klassismus-Problem wohl kaum darstellen. wohl auch irgendwann einmal mit auf den Weg gegeben. Während Ja, Panik früher das System immer wieder von innen heraus zerstören wollten, mit sehr viel Glam und lustvoll vorgetragener Autoaggression, haben sie ihre Marke noch einmal gründlich relaunched, um es im Werbe-Sprech der 90er-Jahre zu formulieren. Ihr Nihilismus made in Austria als Grundgefühl ist immer noch wichtiger Markenkern, aber er wird nun wesentlich reflektierter vorgetragen. Und das inzwischen ganz selbstverständliche Mitverhandeln der eigenen Privilegien scheint die Band in ihren neuen Songs regelrecht zu beflügeln. Denn diese Rich Kids sind schließlich auch sie selbst. Davon lässt sich selbstbewusst erzählen. Wobei das natürlich unbedingt im globalen Maßstab zu sehen ist. Wir alle wissen, was eine vierköpfige, linkspolitische Indie-Rock-Band zwischen Berlin und Wien mit ihrer Musik so verdient. Und auch wenn laut Spechtl nach wie vor "1.000 Kämpfe in seinem Körper kämpfen", von denen er nach eigener Feststellung keinen einzigen je gewinnen kann, scheint ihm seine neue Rolle als Zen-Rocker und selbsternannter Kung-Fu-Fighter umgeben von seinen alten Bandkolleg:innen in ausgezeichneter Form sehr gut zu tun. Tja, viele Menschen in ihrem Alter besitzen inzwischen ein Haus in Brandenburg oder eine Eigentumswohnung in Berlin, aber wer kann sich schon Mitglied der Gruppe Ja, Panik nennen? Kulturelles Kapital, von dem viele Menschen nicht mal zu träumen wagen. More

Kreidlers siebte Langspielplatte für Bureau B ist eine Affaire elektronischer Popmusik genährt in Jetztzeit-Clubs und wurzelnd in rheinischem Kraut, britischem Post-Punk (mit einem Hauch NYC und Brüssel) und internationaler Polyrhythmik. Im dreißigsten Jahr der Bandgeschichte hat "Düsseldorfs zweitberühmteste Band" (Boomkat) auf Twists (a visitor arrives) auf vier von neun Stücken mit den Gästen Khan Of Finland, Maxim Bosch, Natalie Beridze und Timuçin Dündar zusammengearbeitet; die Covergestaltung legten sie in die Hände von Fette Sans.

Im Schatten von Neo-Kraut und Diskurs-Pop wuchs in den letzten 10 Jahren im Unterholz deutscher Klangtopographien fast unbemerkt ein sonderbares Myzel aus dem Boden. Aus diesem unterirdischen Geflecht treten eine Handvoll Projekte mit so geheimnisvollen und poetischen Namen wie Brannten Schnüre, Baldruin, Kirschstein, Freundliche Kreisel und Balint Brösel hervor. Die Compilation "Gespensterland" archiviert und anthologisiert erstmalig ihre magischen Arbeiten, die an der Grenze zwischen Folklore, experimenteller Elektronik und (Alb- )Traum operieren und besitzt als Zeitdokument schon jetzt das Potential, die Strahlkraft von Kultsamplern wie etwa Pordenones "The Great Complotto" zu entwickeln

Renowned acid cosmologist Johannes Auvinen, best known by his alias Tin Man, leaves the club floor behind for a full-length kosmische excursion on Bureau B. Since his first Tin Man records nearly 20 years ago, Auvinen has impelled acid—in the grand tradition of Phuture and co.—into shapes and forms heretofore uncharted. He does it again on his latest, "Arles," exploring a new realm of impressionistic beauty where pristine, heartfelt melodies dance delicately atop austere motorik rhythms. It's a trip you'll want to take again and again.
