When I was fixing up Musick that Needed Work: T last month I came across two Tuxedomoon releases that I had not realized were missing from my other Tuxedomoon albums. Half-Mute was one of those. It was the first Tuxedomoon that I ever bought, one of my all-time favorites, & one that I played often until I nearly wore it out. At some point I acquired the digital version but it needed work. It ended up forgotten in the Needed Work folder. What a joy it was to relisten to it after I fixed all the flaws. I was amazed at how well I remembered all the great tunes. I have listened to it regularly since then.
While I was working on Half-Mute (removing clicks, fixing ID3 tags, touching up cover artwork, etc.) I discoved this gem with contributions from Foetus, Aksak Maboul, Simon Turner Fisher, & many others. It contained a bonus 7“ & download code for an additional track...
