kevbird Some of the KS releases from the eighties went from vinyl to cassette to cd. It's fun to hear them again as they should sound. Favorite track: Universe.

brandonm1980sbc I just happened to stumble upon this and I’m so glad I did! I’m obsessed. Such strong vocals, amazing synthesizers, a true product of the 80’s yet nothing else like it. Favorite track: Silicon Valley.

Robert Lane Oof, so crazy to think something that sounds this lush and huge AND was produced by Klaus Schulze just flew under the radar when released. Only in the 80s folks! Still sounds like the future I want Favorite track: Positions.

jdavis6060 The original English and German releases of this album were impossible to get or cost upward of $150.00. I'm very grateful to Minimal Wave for reissuing this grand synth pop record on wonderful 180g vinyl. The sound is legendary!!!! Favorite track: Computer Love.

    Minimal Wave is honored to present a reissue of Jyl‘s self-titled full-length album from 1984, originally released on Klaus Schulze’s Inteam label. Born and raised in California, Jyl travelled to Europe in her twenties to dance and met several talented and like-minded collaborators along the way. She ended up in Germany, and worked with Ingo Werner, Angela Werner, and Klaus Schulze, on what would become one of the most important and forward thinking electronic albums of the time. Shortly after its release, the song “Computer Love” became a mini-hit along with the album’s opening track “Mechanic Ballerina”. The lyrics of “Silicon Valley” and “Computer Generation” are reflective of the times and have become even more relevant now, 36 years later. The production and song arrangement on the album is immaculate. The synthesizers, drum programming and vocal contributions complement Jyl’s voice perfectly. The album contains an incredible depth beyond a regular dance album likely due to the spirit of the people behind it – the list of contributors add to its significance and near-mythological mystery.

    After years of searching to no avail, the master tapes were finally located and we were able to remaster them for the best possible audio result. The record is pressed on black 180 gram vinyl and comes housed in a glossy heavyweight sleeve. The sleeve features an updated version of the original artwork, and is accompanied by a 12 page LP sized booklet, featuring large scale portraits of Jyl from the time, an interview (thank you, Anders Larsson), and all of Jyl’s previously unpublished lyrics. Release date: September 8th, 2020.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Jyl via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
