New Wave Outpost Forum

News just broke that Telex have begun a collaboration with MUTE Records to reissue their catalogue.
First out is a new compilation, this time remixed ("reduced") by the two remaining members Dan and Michel.
This will include two previously unreleased tracks. Release date 30 April.
I hope the planned album reissues will be full of unreleased songs!

There are still digital files available for their 1993 boxset (Belgium... One Point). Just PM me.

A year after a new Best of by TELEX and promises of reissues from MUTE........................ nothing happens?

How much time do these profi need to get all the albums through some cleaning and restoring????

No idea.... music lovers need a good portion of patience and also resilience against faulty compilations & boxes.

PS this sounds more or less exactly like Telex with Lio!

I was a huge Telex fan back in the day.

Something at last))

Telex Announce Details Of A Box Set

TELEX ANNOUNCE DETAILS OF A BOX SET, COLLATING THEIR 6 STUDIO ALBUMS, & SHARE A CAREER SPANNING EP
TELEX BOX SET OUT 3 MARCH 2023

Telex have announced details a vinyl box set, collating the long awaited remastered reissues of their six studio albums, Looking for Saint-Tropez (1979), Neurovision (1980), Sex (1981), Wonderful World (1984), Looney Tunes (1988) and How Do You Dance? (2006).

Remastered and newly mixed from the original tapes by Dan Lacksman and Michel Moers, Telex will be available as a limited edition vinyl and CD box set, and digitally on Mute on 3 March 2023.

The vinyl Telex box set is released by Mute, and includes a 12-page booklet and audio download code. Pre-order: https://mute.ffm.to/telex_boxset

No bonus tracks, nothing.. just a pure LP tracklists((((((((((((((((

Yes, all CDs in the box feature only the original vinyl LP tracks (newly remastered/remixed), with a few exceptions:

"NEUROVISION" (1980) has two extra tracks! Lakelele & Soul Waves. However, where is the track "Final"? And the track order has been changed.

"SEX" (1981) features one extra track: "Dummy" (from BIRDS AND BEES, 1982) but skips the other two tracks from that LP: Mata Hari & L'amour toujours.

My intuition tells me that Telex only want to add extra tracks that they feel really belong on the "album" or that are good enough. But... Mata Hari & L'amour toujours are good enough, are they not??

Love Telex...still listen to them often but I already own this: https://www.discogs.com/master/628915-T ... -One-Point

So, can't quite see the point.

"Remastered and newly mixed from the original tapes by Dan Lacksman and Michel Moers" - it's always interesting to look at how the old men see their music 40 years after it was first recorded))

I hope Steve Wilson did not put his proggy hand here))

"How Do You Dance?" from the recent EP 1, sounds different = some new sounds, not just "remastered"

They've said in interviews that a lot of the tracks have been remixed, with some "elements" removed to make them sound "more like Telex". Whatever that means!

Wow, at last!!
