Close your eyes...

Close your eyes and imagine... a product of Zang Tuum Tumb.

A sequel to Sampled and Zance, that's bigger than both combined... Imagine a compilation containing previously unreleased period remixes of Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Propaganda; classic ACT (and unheard moments with Chris Senior); one of Graham Massey's favourite US mixes of 808 State and another, previously vinyl-only version of Pacific; first-time-on-CD tracks by FGTH, Art of Noise, Anne Pigalle, Andrew Poppy, Glenn Gregory & Claudia Brucken; one of the deepest, darkest cuts from License to Thrill; and the missing link in Propaganda's Testament trilogy.

Imagine even more... Imagine the same deluxe compact disc addition to the Element Series containing previously unheard Nasty Rox Inc. (not 9th Wonder or 10th Wonder, but 11th Wonder!); Instinct (!)'s Sleewalking (!!) - the 12" mix (!!!); and, finally, Life's A Barrel of Laugh's by Art & Act in full eight-minute glory.

Let us feed your imagination. It's Element 12 and it's coming soon on Zang Tuum Tumb. Imagine!

 

 

Buggles - The Lost Gig - 28.09.10

At last, ticket details for the technopop gig of the year. Trevor Horn and Zang Tuum Tumb present The Buggles - The Lost Gig. As previously announced, Trevor has regrouped The Buggles and gathered some very special guests to perform their ground-breaking début album, The Age of Plastic in full for the first (and quite possibly only) time ever.

Time: 7.30pm (VIP), 9.30pm (gig only)

A special venue for a special event: The Lost Gig will take place at supperclub london. Following renown venues in Amsterdam, LA and Istanbul, supperclub is an "experimental creative platform," which owner Bert van der Leden describes as "a mix of food, music, performance, art... an evening at supperclub has been successful when all your five senses have been tickled."

A special cause: This event is being staged exclusively to raise funds for the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability. All proceeds both from The Lost Gig and accompanying online auction will be donated to the hospital. Active since 1854, the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability has a simple but very important mission: to add years to life and life to years.

Tickets: Two ticket options are available. VIP tickets (£300 + booking fee) include entry at 7.30pm for a three-course dinner, a bed from which to watch the show and the full supperclub experience of entertainers in advance of The Lost Gig. General admission tickets (£100 + booking fee) covers entry at 9.30pm for The Lost Gig only.

Strictly limited: with only 100 VIP tickets (many of which are already allocated) and 200 general admission tickets, please book early to avoid disappointment. Tickets go on sale from 9am on Saturday 28th August, exclusively through Seetickets. Click here to buy.

Trevor Horn: "The Buggles are finally going out to play our first live gig, only 30 years since we first got together... As part of The Lost Gig, we'll play The Age of Plastic in full for the first time, and I'll be joined by some special guests to help make this night a truly special evening... The Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability is a very special cause, one that's close to my heart, and I hope we can use this unique event to raise a great deal of money and to increase awareness for their great work."

 

 

The Buggles - The Return - 28.09.10

Trevor Horn and ZTT Records is proud to announce the return of The Buggles, live on stage for their first ever full live gig... a mere 30 years after their international #1 hit single Video Killed The Radio Star kick-started a generation of electronic pop.

This unique event is being put together to raise funds for London's Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability. Active since 1854, the hospital has a simple but very important mission: to add years to life and life to years.
