Description
When Harmonia made an album, it was about more than just music. It was about a vision.
Deluxe, released in 1975, was the band”s second album. Instead of pure sound experiments, this album focused more on
structure, melody, and rhythm. Harmonia showed a new side of themselves – more accessible musically, without losing any
of their depth.
50 years later, Deluxe is being released in a special anniversary edition – as a high-quality gatefold with previously unreleased
photographic material and on orange vinyl, inspired by the artwork of the original pressing.
This edition is not only interesting for collectors, but for anyone who wants to understand why artists such as Brian Eno and
David Bowie counted Harmonia among their most important influences – and why Deluxe is still considered a blueprint for
electronic music today. Brian Eno himself once called Harmonia “the world”s most important rock band”1
– an assessment
that could hardly better underscore how visionary this music was then and still is today.
