Founded in 2005 by Gunther Buskies as a sister label to Tapete Records, Bureau B specializes in releasing a diverse range of electronic and avant-garde music. With a focus on reissues and new productions, the label has built an extensive catalogue that includes iconic albums from the Krautrock genre of the 1970s and early 1980s. They also release recordings by influential artists such as Die Wilde Jagd, Kreidler, Toulouse Low Trax, and more.

Known for their commitment to preserving classic electronic music, Bureau B has been rereleasing albums from renowned artists like Cluster, Faust, Moebius, Roedelius, Plank, Schickert Schnitzler Tietchens Tyndall. In addition to these reissues, they also release works by similar artists including Blenner Heldon Pinhas Rev or NDW Plan Pyrolator.

With their impressive catalogue and dedication to promoting innovative music across various genres within the electronic spectrum - from pop to avant-garde - Bureau B continues to be a prominent force in the global music industry. Their contributions have solidified them as an authoritative figure in the world of independent labels.

Influential underground NDW (Neue Deutsche Welle) band from Hamburg, Germany, Palais Schaumburg was founded in 1979 and dissolved in 1984. 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.
Their 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.
Despite 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.

The 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. 

2CD - 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.

2LP - In addition to the actual album, this reissue includes a second LP containing all the pieces the band recorded prior to their debut album.
