Blaine Reininger – Night Air
Expanded remaster of the classic album from Tuxedomoon lynchpin Blaine L. Reininger, originally issued by Les Disques du Crépuscule in 1984. On this, his first proper solo album, and touchstone work, Blaine was assisted by Sleepers guitarist Michael Belfer and recording engineer Gareth Jones. Other guest musicians include Steven Brown, Winston Tong and Marc Hollander.
The 10 core tracks include popular single Mystery and Confusion, and are joined by 6 bonus cuts. Crash, written by Reininger and Belfer in 1980 for Tuxedomoon, appears here in two versions, one a rare remix by The Residents. Full sleevenotes in booklet, with recollections by Blaine and Michael.
