This creative melting pot of a band produced a new style of avantgarde dance music, mixing hard beats and funky riffs with dadaist lyrics. Influenced by the US avantgarde cult band *The Residents*, founding members Holger Hiller and Thomas Fehlmann joined by FM Einheit and Chris Lunch tried to push boundaries with their unique sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir debut release 'Rote Lichter' on the independent label was followed by 'Telephon \/ Kinder Der Tod', which gained some underground success. After lineup changes, their self-titled album saw a major label release but soon after, Holger Hiller left for a solo career. Their subsequent albums brought surprising changes in style, adding horns and jazz fusion influences to their sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite collaborating with singer *Gudrun Gut* of Neonbabies\/DÖF fame on their final album 'Parlez-Vous Schaumburg?', commercial success eluded them and the band disbanded shortly after its release. The influence of Palais Schaumburg can still be felt today through the careers of its former members who went on to pioneer various genres such as avantgarde electronics, techno, industrial music, minimal\/dub techno.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"palais-schaumburg-1","title":"Palais Schaumburg..","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe influential German band Palais Schaumburg has reunited in the classic lineup. Since its release in 1981, their debut album has remained in a league of its own: fleet-footed and peculiar, abstract and pop, amateurish and savvy, it showed real alternatives to the then-pervasive crude search for identity found in the \"New German Wave\". The band, which consisted entirely of divergent personalities, has reunited in this formation to rediscover their common ground, further develop, and to perform live. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2CD - In addition to the actual album, this reissue includes a second CD containing all the pieces the band recorded prior to their debut album (all of them now for the first time on CD), and a previously unreleased recording of a concert in Holland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2LP - In addition to the actual album, this reissue includes a second LP containing all the pieces the band recorded prior to their debut album.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bureau B","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50383626436939,"sku":"1148863","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD | x2","offer_id":50383626699083,"sku":"354386","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2e70863c-83f0-4a77-a031-02c804761c3c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726274391"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_97f34f36_thumbnail_4096_6bb9d3f6-1e46-4fe0-9853-ff3991175992.jpg?v=1726274365","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/palais-schaumburg.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
