Eat Raw For Breakfast - Out Now!
The new album "eat raw for breakfast" was made under the impressions of their recent tour in australia and new zealand. They were requested for this amazing show called "boombox" which set new standards in stage design and visual effects. When Piet and Jaspa saw the first scetches and animated ideas for this tour, they knew that they wanted to create a special sound for this incredible show. So within 2 month they recorded all songs on this album and had the focus on club music and nightclubbing only!
The result is a new sound that totally rocked the tour and showcases perfectly what Blank & Jones sound like in the club today! It is mixed non stop to bring the perfect flavour to your ears.
The artwork is another masterpiece whoch shows their passion for modern art. After they worked with the legendary designer Emil Schult (wo designed all artworks for Kraftwerk as well), on their "Monument" album, they now had a master student of no other then Gerhard Richter to design the artwork for the new album. Frank Bauer is famous for his photo realism and created a very unique and outstanding cover art which goes perfectly with the music.
OUT NOW! Fresh Blank & Jones club music out on digital download and on CD!
Tracklist:
01. Menue
02. The Night Starts Here (Raw For Dinner Mix)
03. Dreams (Boom Box Mix)
04. Steaks & Eggs

Blank & Jones // Mark Reeder - Reordered
Reordered - Thats the name of one of 2009s most interesting and unique records. On the face of it, it may seem like just another collaboration album. A bunch of songs remixed to squeeze every last drop of sales potential out of something which has been on the market for months. But thats not the case here. It’s not a covers album, it’s not a remix album. So what is it? Well, well come to that in a moment. First, consider the calibre of the artists involved with this record. No, not the guest vocalists – although the presence of The Cures Robert Smith, New Orders Bernard Sumner and Anne Clark to name but a handful should already excite enough interest – the people behind the album. Blank & Jones – and Mark Reeder.
Mark Reeder. Described in a recent Smirnoff Wall of Sound documentary as the „Godfather of the Berlin club scene“, Mark has turned his hand to pretty much every music industry job going. From humble beginnings working in Manchester’s Virgin Records he was there at the very beginning of what became known as the „Madchester“ movement and his association with Tony Wilson led to him being Factory Records „Man in Germany“ after his move to Berlin in 1978. In the thick of the Berliner Krankheit movement – which spawned Einstürzende Neubauten and Die Ärzte among others – he played with his band Die Unbekannten and co-managed all-girl no wave line-up Malaria! He remains the only ever Brit to be invited into Communist East Germany to produce an album there (the results being Torture by Die Vision in 1989) which led to his founding the first ever electronic dance music label, MFS, amid the wreckage of what was once Amiga, East Germany’s state-owned imprint. Amid extensive touring and remix and production duties, Mark even found time to discover and build up superstar DJ Paul van Dyk for international superstardom. Oh yeah, and he remixed Anne Clark, Pet Shop Boys and Die Toten Hosen (among others) along the way. And so the story shifts to re-ordered. So what exactly is it? Mark: „ Reordered could probably best be described as a re-works album as Ive taken each track and basically rewritten and reworked the music and added my own sound imprint. It was decided to make it in a style reminiscent of the 80s and I produced it in exactly the same way as I had made music back then; using very few instruments, real synths and guitars. I wanted Reordered to have a different sound to anything Blank & Jones had done before and to touch territory they wouldnt normally visit.“ Mark has taken all the previously released „songs“ – ie. vocal tracks – from Blank & Jones previous output and transformed them into something befitting a musician who cut his musical teeth in the 1980s. Working together with his long-time studio engineer and collaborator Micha Adam, formerly of the techno project House of Usher, they come up with an LP worthy of being the debut release on a new label; so80s, a sub-label of Blank & Jones regular imprint Soundcolours. The record is down-tempo, introverted, one might even say dark. Its not a happy album and not geared for the dancefloor; but it’s nevertheless an engaging place to be, highly atmospheric and the re-interprations so well done that each cut sounds completely different from the original. Its a measured, creeping album; its smoky fingers drifting into your mind, carressing your ear drums and making the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. A magical record in fact. Mark’s arranging and production credentials were never in any doubt; his major achievement here lies in the fact that he has created a solid, credible concept record which, to be blunt, has been patched together from a random selection of someone elses tracks. And it works. One artist provided the foundation, another built on tis with talented hands; the results are evidence of what can occur when two highly talented artists go head to head.
Tracklisting:
01. A Forest (Schwarzwald Mix) Featuring Robert Smith
02. Heart Of Wax (Heart Of Crystal Mix) Featuring Vanessa Daou
03. Loneliness (Alone In The Dark Mix) Fturing Bobo
04. Consequences (Resultant Mix) Featuring Vanessa Daou
05. The Hardest Heart (Heart & Soul Mix) Featuring Anne Clark

Mike Francis 1961-2009
On friday january 30, 2009 our dear friend and fantastic musician/ singer Francesco Puccioni, also known as Mike Francis, passed away after a long illness. Francesco was not only a singer that we worked with on various projects, he was also one of our greatest inspirations when we grew up in the 80ies and discoverd his fantastic songs. It was a dream come true for us when we had the first contact with him a few years back. When we worked on our first collaboration in 2005 for "Someone Like You", we felt like the most blessed guys to have him behind the mic. Beside that he was a musical genius, he was also one of the friendliest and most unshelfish persons we have ever met in our lifes. He was so warm and gentle and it always came from his heart.
You will be missed.
Piet, Andy, Jaspa
