RELEASE DATE

Reissue, originally released in 1985. The Outer Edge present the first ever vinyl release of
No Message
by
Art P
, a still lesser known and lost masterpiece from the P.A.P. archives. Art P (initially
Art Programming
) was an electronic music duo consisting of
Jens-Markus Wegener
and
Frank Grotelüschen
. On
No Message
, originally released in 1985, you hear the band's most profound work, a detailed and unique mixture in between of electro and the synth-laden edge of new wave. The Outer Edge initially discovered Art P on the tape compilation
Berlincassette 2-85
. Their contribution, the title track from their second and last album
No Message
, blew the label away: punchy drum machines, heavy synths and cool female vocals delivering a serious, yet slightly ironic view on the meaninglessness in pop music having "no message". A couple of months later, when the label finally was lucky to get hold of an original full-length tape, they couldn't ask for more: powerful apocalyptic synth wave on "A Place To Fear", thrilling vocoder electro funk on "Polaroid", up-tempo new wave synth pop on "Sounds of the City", dreamy and melodic electro on "Without Jackets", and other well produced tracks. It was an absolute necessity for the label to get in touch with Art P and ask for permission to re-release their music on vinyl.
No Message
was remastered from the absolute best original tape source and sounds incredibly well. As a side note it should be mentioned that Wegener later became a key figure in the German music market. He was the founder of companies such as Public Propaganda, Europe's largest and most successful promotion agency in the mid '90s, the publishing company AMV, the distributor PP Sales Forces, among others. As a freelance promoter for SPV and the PIAS label he was also responsible for establishing the term "Electronic Body Music" as a musical genre. Grotelüschen was active as a music journalist (e.g. for Spex Magazine) and later became an important and well-known journalist for science. Fully licensed. Includes insert; blue vinyl; edition of 300.
