Tuxedomoon / Various Artists

In 1980, Tuxedomoon created a sensation with their masterpiece debut album 'Half-Mute', which immediately established them as one of the leading avant-garde pop bands.

36 years later, in the spring of 2016, Tuxedomoon's original members, Steven Brown, Peter Principle and Blaine Reininger, joined by Luc van Lieshout and Bruce Geduldig, will get together to revisit 'Half-Mute' and perform it live on a series of exclusive shows around Europe.

To celebrate this occasion, Crammed Discs will be reissuing the album on CD. It will be remastered, repackaged, and coupled with a tribute album, for which thirteen artists have specially created covers of all songs from 'Half-Mute' and from the album's associated singles.

The contributors include Foetus/Jim Thirlwell, Aksak Maboul, Simon Fisher Turner, DopplAr (feat. 2 members from Amatorski), Cult With No Name and others, with special appearances by the three makers of Half-Mute, Steven Brown, Peter Principle and Blaine Reininger.

'Give Me New Noise: Half-Mute Reflected' will also come out as a stand-alone vinyl LP (containing a bonus 7" single) and digital album.
