Conrad Schnitzler S/D

Oh great!

Very interesting. Only complaint is the background music playing during the interview parts is too loud.

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

I'd say even a cold was worth it, loved listening to it! Great and fitting tribute to a wonderful man <3

a few snapshots from yesterday's WFMU session:

I had a splendid time listening to it yesterday Geeta, a very fitting tribute!

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?’”

lol

oh, there's a pic too

wow that's great. people who figured out how to live imho.

classic pic!

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!

now I'm onto Con..crazy how much "Ballet Statique" seems to have influenced Underworld

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 ...

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!

think we talked about this on noize but the captain trip shit is so expensive at this point!

thank you again bureau b!

Got the m=minimal reissue of Ballet Statique / Con with the Red Cassette added on, amazing, where has this been all my life?

hey someone in new york go to this and post back

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!

gelb and grün reissued!

i always hear his name in the voice of ned flanders saying 'white wine spritzer'

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

Grun is pretty great if memory serves.

damn ballet statique fuckin' slaps

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

Have watched this a bunch of times, but didn't realize it was posted by his official YouTube channel, or that there were dozens of other videos to check out.

Couple of Bureau B rereleases happening:
