When Harmonia made an album, it was about more than just music. It was about a vision.
Deluxe, released in 1975, was the band's second album. Instead of pure sound experiments, this album focused more on structure, melody, and rhythm. Harmonia showed a new side of themselves – more accessible musically, without losing any of their depth.
50 years later, Deluxe is being released in a special anniversary edition – as a high-quality gatefold with previously unreleased photographic material and on orange vinyl, inspired by the artwork of the original pressing.
This edition is not only interesting for collectors, but for anyone who wants to understand why artists such as Brian Eno and David Bowie counted Harmonia among their most important influences – and why Deluxe is still considered a blueprint for electronic music today. Brian Eno himself once called Harmonia “the world's most important rock band”1 – an assessment that could hardly better underscore how visionary this music was then and still is today.
