BOHREN & DER CLUB OF GORE - Sunset Mission (2LP)

Sunset Mission from 2000 finally gets a proper vinyl release. Tip! Sunset Mission, their third album, was originally released in 2000 and is similar to Midnight Radio, more overtly jazzy perhaps, with the addition of smokey tenor saxophone to their piano/drums/bass lineup. Their original US distributor (electronica/techno label Studio K-7) labeled this ambient, but that's far from the mark. From the song titles (Prowler, On Demon Wings, Black City Skyline, Darkstalker) to the packaging (photos of nighttime Berlin and dangerous weaponry) to the music (a downtempo film noir soundtrack like the slowest, dirgiest Melvins played by Morphine, darker than Photek, moody and gorgeous) this is the nightmare ambience of a nowhere jazz-lounge you'll never leave alive.
