Onetwo and Blank + Jones = collaborate! again

Exciting news on the Blank + Jones myspace in Morleyesc terms...!

A new album, The Logic of Pleasure, with a brand new Onetwo track:

























'Their latest collection “The Logic of Pleasure” continues their tradition of teaming up with unique singers and temperaments and features some tantalising collaborations. (...) blank+jones continue their relationship with Dusseldorf and London's Claudia Brücken. 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.'

A new single, a collaboration with Joy Division's/New Order's/Electronic's Bernard Sumner, Miracle Cure, with a brand new Onetwo remix:



















'Miracle Cure will appear as the song it is and also as a brilliantly arranged series of energising/lounging uptown, down town and across town mixes from the blank+jones studio, and also from Manchester born Berlin based hypno-trance pioneer Mark Reeder, the currently on fire electro-obsessive Canadian Glenn Morrison, the prolific trancefrenzied German master Martin Roth, the Anglo-German electro-adventurers Onetwo and Scandinavian chilltronica club kings Lulu Rouge.'

For more news and details keep an eye on the Blank + Jones myspace!

Interview in The Word magazine
with Claudia.
With The Theory of Everything on the accompanying CD! February issue! Very very glossy! Out in the shops now all over Europe, or order a copy at The Word site!

>>> >>> >>>
Due to a mastering error not The Theory of Everything - Part II ended on The Word cover mount CD, but Part I: beautiful, but totally instrumental, only a minute and a half, and worst of all -ARGHL!!!- no Claudia singing! The Word's going to make up for this mistake: The Theory of Everything - Part II will be on the cover mount CD of their May issue. Out in the UK on the 12th of April!

Oh my god what a night!
Onetwo really blasted the audience away, and -oh- what great fun was that! The gig turned into a big party after the first few songs, and Claudia, obviously very confident, constantly interacted with the audience. And the girl can sing, pfffff!!! I'm not only loving your shoes ;D
