A new introduction to the discreet and legendary
German electro-wizards Blank & Jones on the release
of their latest collection of collaborations, beats
and various mesmeric sonic certainties - ôThe Logic
of Pleasureö.
Here, for your consideration, are Blank & Jones,
who exist as much as they ever did inside their own
dream of rhythm, at the fast neon centre of all
cities, at the soothing edge of the sea, storming
down the eternal autobahn, swooping through space
and across time, with a new collection, perhaps an
album, perhaps a collection of tunes and
treatments, perhaps an electronic manifesto, but
definitely something for your mind, and your body,
and the places in between.
ôThe Logic of Pleasureö is Blank & Jones first
collection of original material since their 2004
Monument album.
They materialised as recording artists in 1997 with
a single called Sunrise, and since then, as a
combination of disc jockeys and musicians,
travelers and dreamers, party planners and
thinkers, movers and shakers, businessmen and
pleasure seekers, chill-out emperors and rave
gurus, lo-tempo sweethearts and energetic pop
masterminds, trance specialist and dance heroes
they have had numerous hit singles and albums in
their home country of Germany.
Blank & Jones, loving to work with great singers
and other minds from different musical worlds, have
made, mixed and arranged electric mood music in
collaboration with such individual talents as The
Cure's magical Robert Smith, the uncompromising
poet provocateur Anne Clark, the hyper emotional
Canadian singer Sarah McLachlan and Propaganda's
surreal chanteuse Claudia Brucken.
Their latest collection ôThe Logic of Pleasureö
continues their tradition of teaming up with unique
singers and temperaments and features some
tantalising collaborations. The combination of
Blank & Jones and the enigmatic, iconic, tender
voiced Bernard Sumner - of Joy Division, New Order
and Electronic - is naturally a dream, as Sumner's
fragile yet bouyant melancholia slips beautifully
into, and out of, blank and jones very own
electronic sense of the epic. Blank & Jones
continue their relationship with Dusseldorf and
London's Claudia Bruecken. As always she fits
perfectly into the Blank & Jones human-machine
scheme of things, her dramatic voice and their
dramatic dynamic totally in psychic synchronicity.
Confirming their inspired eclectic taste and their
love for experimentation, Blank & Jones also team
up with audacious New York electroerotica torch
singer Vanessa Daou, cult electro-pop classicists
Trademark and deviant German pop singer Bobo of
Bobo in White Wooden Houses (she appeared as the
angel on dark rock group Rammstein's 1997 song
Engel.) ôThe Logic of Pleasureö has itself been
mixed in collaboration with Bob Kraushaar, the Pet
Shop Boys engineer of choice for the past two
decades. As always Blank & Jones discriminating,
open minded musical judgement is impeccable, and
they're forever committed to looking into dark
eccentric corners, as well as the obvious lit up
pop places, for inspiration and surprising
potential partnerships. Further proof of their
ambition to radically merge sound and ideas, the
acoustic and the electronic - a recent performance
project at the Tonhalle Dusseldorf that combined
Blank & Jones with the Robert Schumann Chamber
Orchestra conducted by Alexander Shelly.
As intercontinental men of mystery in the full
glare of publicity, as rave favourites and ambient
entrepreneurs, as bliss boys and trance gods, Blank
& Jones, demonstrating their love of life and a
lust for sensation, have made a number of
contributions to the pioneering CafΘ del Mar chill
out albums and also conceived their own acclaimed
series of beautifully produced chill out albums.
The Blank & Jones Relax series - from edition one
to edition three - demonstrate that the unit know
as much about producing calm, dissolving,
reflective atmosphere as wiring up flash,
energising city music.
Meanwhile, their charged, transporting, intensely
jubilant Mix albums - from Volume 1 to Volume 3 -
showcase Blank & Jones as being geniuses of trance,
serious masters at captivating international
hedonists dedicated to losing their mind and
finding their body, or losing their body and
finding their mind. As in demand remixers, they
have worked on tracks by Moby, Yello, Pet Shop Boys
The Killers, Chicane...
For the thrill of it, because of an addiction to
airports and airplanes, night time and pleasure,
Blank & Jones travel the world relentlessly as if
intending one day to play shows simultaneously in
cities on five continents. They're welcome as elite
technoromantic thrill giving specialists around the
world &150; in the best nightclubs in the most
modern cities, bringing steam, heat, heart and beat
to major events such as Mayday, Nature One and Love
Parade. They've visited Russia, Poland, Canada,
Mexico, South America and the Netherlands.
Following their inspiring collaboration with Robert
Smith on The Cure classic A Forest they are
increasingly in demand in the USA, as well as
regularly treating fans closer to home in Germany
and the Netherlands.
A Blank & Jones set is a unique live extravaganza,
a spellbinding presentation of Blank & Jones music
mixed with carefully chosen non- Blank & Jones
music in the free flowing context of a dj set. The
editing and mixing is done on the night for the
night, wherever they are in the world, so that each
performance is unique, a combination of recorded
sound and improvisation perfectly tailored for the
audience and the environment. Blank & Jones never
betray their dj roots, but inventively combine
DJing with their increasing boldness and ambition
as an acclaimed electronic pop group in their own
right.
So now that their 9th album ôThe Logic of Pleasureö
is to be released, the time has come to ask: who
is, what are Blank & Jones? And the answer is, and
isn't, that they are Piet Blank and Jaspa Jones,
with, in the studio, the production plus of Andy
Kaufhold: that they are a mobile, time traveling,
world conquering hybrid of production team, sonic
theorists, lifestyle organisers, post-real DJ's,
musical dreamers, pleasure programmers, extreme
party planners, emotional technicians, mood
arrangers and audacious electro-explorers. ôThe
Logic of Pleasureö is their most complete and
imaginative collection yet, the ultimate proof that
Blank & Jones are majestic masters at arranging
pure listening pleasure.
