Buzzkunst is PETE SHELLEY & HOWARD DEVOTO_'SPECIAL SAUCE' is mostly a reconfiguration of the 2002 album 'Buzzkunst' by ShelleyDevoto.

NOW! For the first time on vinyl, with a REFRESHED RUNNING ORDER and TWO PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED TRACKS - 'Psychosomatic' and 'Punk Of Me'.

PLUS! If that isn't enough, there is a SECOND mini album included in the package_11 NEVER BEFORE RELEASED Howard Devoto ARCHIVE RECORDINGS from the same period, titled 'DESIGNOID'.

Instrumentals and songs, idiosyncratic as ever, and including a 21st century re-working of 'Breakdown', as originally featured on the Buzzcocks' debut and seminal self-released EP, 'Spiral Scratch' "This Shelley is Pete Shelley _ old punks will remember him from the legendary Buzzcocks, while '80s rockers may recall his electro-pop hit Homo Sapien.

The Devoto is Howard Devoto, Shelley's old Buzzcocks partner who went on to form the arty post-punk outfit Magazine.

Now working together again for the first time in 25 years, the duo have achieved a sound that incorporates most if not all of their previous endeavours without reverting to cheap nostalgia.

Their 14-track reunion album Buzzkunst is a progressive step forward, combining the grinding guitars of Shelley's youth and the poppy synthesizers of his middle age with the artsy sonic sculptures and post-punk yelp of Devoto's past." - Tinnitist,2002/2022 2LP tracklisting: Side 1: Self-Destruction; God's Particle; So There I Was; On Solids; Psychosomatic; Stupid Kunst - LP / Side 2: Strain Of Bacteria; Deeper; Till The Stars In His Eyes Are Dead; Wednesday's Emotional Setup; Going Off; Punk Of Me; System Blues - Track listing: LP2: Howard Devoto - Designoid: Track listing: LP / Side 1: The Presentation Of The Self in Everyday Life; Designoid; Like Elvis (Hello Mr Curtis) ; Bungled Existence; Once In Montecorto - LP / Side 2: Theme From Goodbye Antarctica; Under A Lenient Moon; Breakdown; It Mattered; Your Talking Sense; Bet Your Mind
