Plux Quba was handed around between \n\nthe principles of the early 90s A-Musik scene: Jan St. Werner, \n\nC-Schulz, Frank Dommert, Georg Odijk, plus interested fellow \n\ntravelers like Jim O’Rourke, to the intense curiosity of all. To ears \n\nthat were already saturated with all things kraut, the dark corners \n\nof prog and the frontline of experimental and improvised music, it \n\nproved elusive. Not simply in how it sounded and how that sound \n\nwas achieved, but in where it was coming from—like later Rob-\nert Ashley at times; certain stretches of melody recalled some \n\nof Eno’s ambient pieces – but mostly, it was a completely alien \n\nsoundscape! And who was it? Was the band called Plux Quba? \n\nThe record? The label? These sorts of mysteries are at the heart \n\nof records that require close listening and re-listening. As it was \n\nabsorbed, it grew to be an influence on the Köln sound—Mouse \n\nOn Mars, Lithops, and Heemann’s many and varied projects—\n\nas well as O’Rourke, Fennesz and many others. Music and \n\nsound of this nature have for many years been made available by \n\nbands like Autechre, labels like Mille Plateaux—but for the first \n\nten years of its existence, Plux Quba was rarely heard. \n\nO’Rourke reissued it as the first record on his Moikai label in \n\n1998, and it had a good run through around 2005 before the last \n\nof the print parts were filled. It’s almost a decade since Plux Quba\n\nwas available, which is way too long considering that we live in \n\nan era where it is NECESSARY to have an LP of this on hand for \n\nyour contemporary listening distractions. And so, Drag City has \n\nstepped in to reissue the Moikai reissue of Nuno Canavarro’s\n\nclas\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedia Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 1LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Drag City\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatalog Number: LP-DC-639\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Canavarro, Nuno","offers":[{"title":"- EXPERIMENTAL *NEW*","offer_id":45106053283955,"sku":"AJZ1BB-E1O2-R1","price":24.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/experimental-new_1ND7z.jpg?v=1781556901","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/canavarro-nuno-plux-quba-vinyl-mint-m-mint-m","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
