Tuxedomoon: Cabins in the Sky

Yup, I'm a big fan of Tuxedomoon. "Cabin in the Sky" doesn't disappoint either. They do have more of an electronic-experimental-jazz sound, but it's still Tuxedomoon and they haven't lost their intensity. They successfully updated for today. There's at least 5 songs I could pick out as popular single hits, but Baron Brown and Cagli are probably the most mainstream. Every song is listenable. This is from their my space page:


"Cabin" featured contributions by a carefully hand-picked selection of guests such as Tarwater, Tortoise's John McEntire, Nouvelle Vague's Marc Collin, Aksak Maboul (aka Crammed founder Marc Hollander and Konono N°1 producer Vincent Kenis) and DJ Hell."

Here's a fun clip from 1978, when they were still with Ralph Records. There's a few faces in the audience that look familiar, put I couldn't place them..

    One of the "familiar" faces in the audience is Debbie Harry, from Blondie.
    "Night Air" can very easily be found and ordered throught the internet.
    Just look up for the website of LTM Reordings.

    BINGO! Of course - that's Deborah Harry. Thanks for filling in the blank. I also got Night Air. I'll have to look up your book.
