Boytronic – The Working Model 2LP (Limited Edition 400 Black Vinyl)
¥6,980
Mecanica – MEC092 (2025) Limited edition of 400 copies on black vinyl with gatefold sleeve, A2 poster and sticker. Boytronicは80年初頭にドイツのハンブルクでHolger Wobker (別名Brylyant Berger) とPeter Sawatzkiによって設立された。当初はKapitän Sehnsuchtという名前でハンブルクの有名な「Mile of Sin」のいかがわしいセックスショーのサウンドトラックを担当していた。しばらくして, 少年たちはそれがあまり満足のいくものではないことに気づき, 高給取りの仕事だったのにBoytronicとしてポップミュージックの世界に参入することを望んで 彼らは辞めることにした。 彼らはすでにいくつかのデモ曲を持っていて, マーキュリー・レコードの注目を集めた。1 stシングル「You」はNew OrderとPatrick Cowleyのサウンドに強い影響を受けてレコーディングされた。最初はあまりうまくいきませんでした。それはまあまあのクラブヒットだったが, その後すぐに彼らは幸運にもドイツの重要なテレビ番組で「You」を演奏した。放送直後, 売り上げはロケットのように伸び 初週で8万枚に達し, ドイツの公式セールスチャートでは10位を記録する大ヒットとなった。その後, わずか14日間でレコーディングを終え1983年末にリリースされたデビュー・アルバム「The Working Model」は80年代のドイツのテクノ・ポップの傑作の一つとして今なお評価されている。 40年以上前のアルバムですが, 今でも新鮮で本格的なサウンド!このCLASSICアルバムの待望の再リリースにはオリジナルアルバムの全トラックに加えて「You」「Diamonds and Loving Arms」「Trigger Track」「Brylyant」のクラシックリミックスが多数収録されています。 Boytronic was founded in the early 80’s in Hamburg by Holger Wobker (aka Bryllyant Berger) and Peter Sawatzki. At the beginning, under the moniker of Kapitän Sehnsucht, they were in charge of making the soundtrack for some seedy sex shows on Hamburg’s famous ‘Mile of Sin’. After a while, the boys found that not so satisfying and, through it was a well-paid job, they decided to leave, hoping to break into the world of pop music as Boytronic. They already had some demo songs that got the attention of Mercury Records. The first single “You” was recorded highly influenced by the sound of New Order and Patrick Cowley. It didn’t do very well at the beginning. It was just a moderate club hit, but soon after they got lucky and performed “You” on an important German TV Show. Immediately after the broadcasting, sales climbed like a rocket and reached 80,000 copies in the first week and the single became a major hit in the official German sales-charts, reaching position 10. This sudden success was followed by the recordings of the debut album “The Working Model”, that was finished in only fourteen days and released at the end of 1983. “The Working Model” still today is considered as one of the best techno-pop releases coming from Germany in the 80’s. An album more than 40 years old and still sounding so fresh and authentic! This highly welcome re-release of this CLASSIC album includes all tracks from the original Album, but also lots of classic remixes of “You”, “Diamonds and Loving Arms”, “Trigger Track” and “Bryllyant”.

All songs written and recorded in the early 80’s. “The Pre-Working Demos” is a collection of home demo tracks recorded during the early 80’s.

Techniques Berlin – The Language Of Machines [1985-1991] 2LP (Limited Edition 500 Black Vinyl with Gatefold Sleeve)
¥6,980
Mecanica – MEC090 (2024) Formed by high school buddies Andreas Gregor and David Rout, Techniques Berlin started in 1984 experimenting with synthesizers, drum machines and guitars. In the early stages, the band was heavily influenced by UK new romantic acts The Human League, Visage, Yazoo, OMD and Depeche Mode, as well as rising Canadian synth-pop bands Rational Youth, Men Without Hats and Trans-X. It took them a few years to master their electronic toys and create a unique blend of addictive electro-pop melodies and beautifully crafted alternative beats. In the late 80s, Techniques Berlin played live on a regular basis and their 3 self-released tapes received frequent local airplay in Canada. Despite their moderate success, the band failed to secure a record deal. Eventually both members had developed a strong interest in the burgeoning electro-industrial scene. Dave and Andreas founded !Bang Elektronika and were working with Digital Poodle as live drummers. Both of these projects were soon picked up by record labels. Techniques Berlin played their last show in November of 1991 at the University of Toronto, debu- ting the last track they had recorded, fittingly called ‘Time fades to Nothing’. Or so they thought… The proliferation of Internet radio and streaming music platforms introduced the band to a new generation of fans, enabling Techniques Berlin to stage a remarkable comeback. Within the next years they released the compilation “Suburban Playgrounds and Concrete Beaches” (Fabrika Records), recorded a new album “Breathing” (Nadanna) in 2018 and offered a series of shows in Toronto, Montreal, Mexico City and Leipzig. “The Language of Machines” compiles a selection of original recordings between 1985 and 1991, including some favourite tunes like ‘Dancing to the Fall of the Berlin Wall’, ‘Metropolis’, ‘Watching You’ and a few unreleased tracks/versions.

¥7,480
SOLD OUT

Cetu Javu was a German synth-pop band lead by singer Javier Revilla Diez and synth wizard and composer Chris Demere. They started with the band in 1984 and in the spring next year surprisingly reached the third place in a young talent festival in Hanover. Several other shows followed but the highlight was a concert in December of 1986 as the opening act of Erasure. Their first maxi single “Help Me Now” was released in the spring of 1987 on their own label’s. Through the mediation of Talla 2XLC, Cetu Javu got a record contract with major company ZYX Records and released their debut album “Southern Lands” in 1990. When the song “A Dónde”, a B-side sung in Spanish included on the single “So Strange”, hit number two in the Spanish charts, the band surprisingly achieved a great success in Spain and toured the country in an extensive way. The second full-length, “Where is Where”, came out in Spain in 1992. The success did not stop here and led Cetu Javu become very popular in other countries such as Argentina and Mexico. Unfortunately, in 1994, between personal prob- lems and having to make decisions about the future, the group withdrew from the music scene and each member moved to focus to other activities. “Where is Where” is now re-released ,containing the original album along with some extended versions and remixes from the singles “¿Por Qué?”, “Dame tu Mano” and “Una Mujer".

Cetu Javu – Southern Lands 2LP (Limited Edition 500 Black Vinyl in Heavy gatefold sleeve with a sticker)
¥7,480
SOLD OUT
Mecanica – MEC087 (2024) Cetu Javu : German Synth Pop band from Hannover. Founded in 1984 and split in 1994. Javier Revilla and Chris Demere, both from Hanover and inspired by electronic music of Kraftwerk and Jean-Michel Jarre, started to experiment with sounds since the late 70’s. The arrival of New Wave with bands like Heaven 17, The Human League, Soft Cell and Depeche Mode influenced these teenagers to began Cetu Javu in 1984 with Javier on vocals, Chris on synths, guitar, programming, Torsten Engelke on keyboards and Stefen Engelke on bass. In 1985, the band won the third place in a contest, a year later they opened for Erasure and released their first single "Help Me Now!” in 1987 on their own label Deme Records. Like their compatriots Camouflage, Cetu Javu were unapologetically Depeche Mode-like in their sound, but with a fairly original twist on their synth pop formula. Their extremely catchy 1988 singles "Situations" and "Have in Mind" were instant hits on dance clubs and even re- ceived HEAVY airplay on U.S. alternative radio stations. The band signed a contract with ZYX Records - the label world famous as the universe’s No. 1 label for horrible graphics/artworks - and released their debut album “Southern Lands” in 1990, followed by a tour together with Wolfsheim and Blind Passengers as supporting acts. “Southern Lands” is now being re-released including all original songs plus some extended versions, remixes and bonus tracks from the accompanying singles “Situations", “Have in Mind" and "So Strange".

Randolph & Mortimer – The Incomplete Truth LP (Limited Edition 350 Black Vinyl)
¥4,680
SOLD OUT
Mecanica – MEC084 (2024) Second full-length album by Sheffield-based project Randolph & Mortimer. An 8-track 40-minute-long sonic and emotional journey heavily influenced by 80’s propaganda and the parallels we face today involving politics, religion & conspiracy theories. Created half by machines and half by the mind of Sam Evans, “The Incomplete Truth” clings to the same roots that catapulted R&M to the forefront of the techno-EBM-industrial scene with their debut album “Manifesto for A Modern World” (2019) but takes this new work to a higher level in terms of composition and production. Born in the wake of depression resulting from a terrifying near-death experience in the workplace, Sam conceived this album as a live setlist from some alternate reality free of everyday working. Every track is a potential success and includes collaborations with artists like Andi, Neu-Romancer, Black Dahlia and Dominique Slva. All killer, zero filler. Mastered by Nicolás Zúñiga. Polaroid photography by Mina Chauveau. Bandcamp 試聴 https://randolphandmortimer.bandcamp.com/album/the-incomplete-truth
