Count me in, too.
But I don't really see why it being a long e-mail and parts of it in German should obstruct it being posted in full, if you think it can be interesting to many?

Oh great!

Very interesting. Only complaint is the background music playing during the interview parts is too loud.
― Y Kant Lou Reed (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 27 October 2011 19:25 (twelve years ago) link
thanks for listening, you guys!
it was definitely worth extending my NYC trip for this, though i am now coming down with a lousy cold
― geeta, Thursday, 27 October 2011 23:20 (twelve years ago) link
I'd say even a cold was worth it, loved listening to it! Great and fitting tribute to a wonderful man <3

Sometimes my friends would recognise me and come up to me, say, ‘Hey, Con, what are you doing?’ I would just speak to them in a robot voice through the loudspeaker. ‘I do not understand. I am not Con. Would you like to buy a cassette?’”

been listening to "Blau" a lot lately - does anyone know what the "Wild Space" bonus tracks are? very cool but clearly much more recent than the actual album!

röt and blau reissued on bureau b!
picked up blau today, röt got backordered
here's hoping for schwarz, gelb, grön, con 1, con 2+ and con 3 ...
― the late great, Tuesday, 3 July 2012 21:45 (twelve years ago) link
errr grün
Yeah, I got Blau, too. Already had it on CD but I'm more likely to listen to side-long electronic tracks on LP. Hope they do Schwarz et al, too!

I went to this! the space was quite small but it was easy to get lost in the layers of sound and it was a real treat to be able to hear this stuff 'mixed' like that. 'gen ken' is a super nice guy too and had some amazing records and related memorabilia out.
I was unfamiliar with what was being played but I did hear some material in a 'symphonic' style I wasn't aware schnitzler had dabbled in. lots of synthesized strings and the playing was fairly busy. sorry if I'm being vague but I only caught bits here and there. would be very grateful if anyone could steer me towards any releases in schnitzler's catalog that might match this description!

only listened briefly to the gelb reissue but it sounds really good

not enough talk about Silber itt, that one's staggeringly great as well, some tracks are even melodic in a proto-Chris Carter kinda way. I love Asmus Tietchens liner notes where he plays detective trying to figure out what synth was used
the essential Bureau B reissue CDs have great bonus tracks to boot, some good stuff on the Gelb CD too
