Frank Black Announces 'Teenager Of The Year – Live' LP, Out 11/27 via Demon Records, Record Store Day Black Friday 2026 Exclusive

Frank Black Announces Teenager Of The Year – Live LP The Acclaimed Teenager Of The Year Performed Live In Full For The First Time In 30 Years  Teenager Of The Year – Live Out 11/27 via Demon Records, Record Store Day Black Friday 2026 Exclusive

Demon Records are proud to be releasing a live version of ‘Teenager Of The Year,’ the incredible second album released by Frank Black, on 27 November 2026. Released exclusively for Record Store Day Black Friday 2026, ‘Teenager Of The Year – Live’ will be  available at participating stores as a stunning 3LP set pressed on gold, green and red vinyl, as well as a 2CD  edition.  “In 2025 I toured with my 1994 band, the same group who were the principal players on a record called  TEENAGER OF THE YEAR. This record documents that tour, which was a kind of 30 year birthday for the original double LP. Each of the 22 tracks are, to my mind, quite different from each other; but I think rather  than a lack of cohesiveness, they are joined beautifully in a crown of royalty, each retaining its individual  charm while contributing to a sum that is greater, almost perfect, like 10 toes and 10 fingers and also an  extra finger. Teenager Of The Year was the only award I’ve ever received (back in high school), and you can  smell that teen spirit resurrection on TOTY, and I hope 30 years later some of that funk remains.” - Frank Black, September, 2026, Los Angeles  The album originally released in 1994 is often described as ‘The best album the Pixies never made’,  Teenager Of The Year is captured here in a thrilling live performance recorded during Frank Black and his  band’s 2025 30th anniversary tour, which saw them perform the album across the USA and Europe. The tour culminated in a spectacular final show at the London Palladium, which was recorded for this release.  Teenager Of The Year - Live features the album performed in full and in sequence, bookended by five live  cuts from Frank Black’s self-titled 1993 debut solo album.  The set includes blistering live versions of some of Frank Black’s most beloved solo tracks, including ‘Headache’, ‘Calistan’ and ‘Speedy Marie’, alongside ‘Los Angeles’ and ‘I Heard Ramona Sing’.  Pressed as a 3LP set on Gold, Green and Red vinyl, and 2CD Teenager Of The Year – Live is a fitting memento for those lucky enough to have witnessed the tour and an essential release for anyone who wasn’t able to be there. It is a must-have addition to the collections of Frank Black and Pixies fans alike. Teenager Of The Year - Live is November 27, 2026. Teenager Of The Year - Live:  TRACKLISTING LP1   Side One  1.

Jean-Michel Jarre Announces 50th Anniversary Edition Of 'Oxygene' Out November 20 Including 2026 Remaster & Album In Dolby Atmos

JEAN-MICHEL JARRE ANNOUNCES 50TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF OXYGENE NEW 2026 REMASTER FROM THE ORIGINAL TAPES WITH OXYGENE PRESENTED IN DOLBY ATMOS FOR THE FIRST TIME SET FOR RELEASE NOVEMBER 20, 2026 VIA BMG

Photo: François Rousseau Jean-Michel Jarre has announced a special 50th anniversary edition of his landmark album OXYGENE, to be released on November 20, 2026 via BMG. Originally released in France in 1976 before its international release in 1977, OXYGENE helped bring electronic music to a global audience and established Jarre as one of the defining figures of the genre. Recorded in the former kitchen of his Paris apartment using an eight-track tape machine, a homemade mixing desk and a small collection of synthesisers and electronic instruments, the album went on to sell more than 18 million copies worldwide. At the heart of the anniversary edition is a new 2026 remaster of the original stereo mix, created from the original tapes to restore the full dynamics and character of the recording. The Dolby Atmos version was mixed by David Kosten, Steven Wilson and Jarre for Distant Swimmer, the new immersive-audio partnership between Kosten and Wilson, with OXYGENE its first project. Bringing together Kosten’s extensive work in Atmos and as a multi-award winning producer and mixer, and Wilson’s experience as a six-time Grammy nominee, Porcupine Tree founder and spatial-audio pioneer, the team preserved the balance and distinctive tape-echo character of the original stereo mix while allowing the album to breathe in three-dimensional space. The release includes a 180g black-vinyl edition, half-speed mastered and cut by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios; CD; limited-edition coloured eco-vinyl; digital editions; and a deluxe Blu-ray mediabook featuring OXYGENE in Dolby Atmos for the first time, alongside a new 5.1 mix, the 2026 stereo remaster and selected archival material. “When I created OXYGENE, I was working directly with analogue instruments and tape, and the sound had a particular depth, movement and life of its own. For this anniversary edition, we returned to the original tapes with the aim of preserving that character rather than changing it”. - Jean-Michel Jarre Five decades after its release, OXYGENE continues to resonate across generations of artists and listeners. The anniversary edition features new liner notes from Alexis Petridis (The Guardian) who recalls OXYGENE sounding like “a curious transmission from the future” when it entered the British singles chart in 1977. “OXYGENE wasn’t just an exceptionally good album,” he writes. “It was an album that felt like a strange kind of culmination, on which Jean-Michel Jarre managed to capture and tie together every extant aspect of electronica into 40 minutes of music.” Alma Rota (Rolling Stone France) writes: “The record becomes image, concert, architecture, landscape. It ceases to be merely a recorded object and becomes a universe that every era reinvents. Formats change. Technologies evolve. The landscape remains.” And German writer Torsten Groß, writes: “The foundation for this unique career was laid in that kitchen — with a broken Mellotron and ideas for eternity.” Electronic artists Kelly Lee Owens and Solomun have also contributed separate reflections on the album and its continuing influence. Read more. The anniversary edition also marks an extended partnership between Jean-Michel Jarre and BMG, encompassing his recorded catalogue and future works. Jarre is currently in the studio working on new music, with further details to be announced. Alistair Norbury, Senior Creative Advisor at BMG, says: “Jean-Michel Jarre has influenced generations of electronic artists and continues to shape the culture today. Electronic music has deep European roots and continues to evolve globally. This partnership reflects our shared long-term commitment to that legacy and a creative vision for what comes next.” The release arrives in a major year that will also see Jarre appear on October 21 as Guest of Honour at Amsterdam Dance Event, where he will present the sold-out immersive concert OXYGENE & BEYOND: A SONIC JOURNEY CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF ADE at AFAS Live. His wider ADE program will also include three exclusive panel discussions at ADE Pro, bringing together the history of electronic music with the ideas, emerging technologies - including AI - and artists shaping its future. It also follows the publication of MACHINES: A HISTORY OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC (November 24, Thames & Hudson). Drawing on Jarre’s exceptional collection of electronic and electro-acoustic instruments, the book presents 130 machines, specially photographed, that trace more than a century of electronic music, from the first electrified machines of the early 20th century to artificial intelligence algorithms. Contributors include Armin van Buuren, Vince Clarke, Gillian Gilbert, Nicolas Godin, Richie Hawtin, Johnny Marr, Gary Numan, Benjamin John Power, Nick Rhodes, & Hans Zimmer.

The Comet Is Coming - Exploding In Slow Motion

The Comet Is Coming - Exploding In Slow Motion: The Complete Channel The Spirits Recordings 2013-2017CE

2026 marks ten years since the planets aligned for the release of Channel The Spirits – the debut album by The Comet Is Coming. The trio of Shabaka, Danalogue and Betamax, powerful in their own right, transcended to another plane when united. Exploding In Slow Motion: The Complete Channel The Spirits Recordings 2013-2017CE celebrates that legacy by bringing together the original album, the Prophecy and Death To The Planet EPs and various rarities from the era, including four previously unreleased tracks.  Announced to coincide with the Draconids meteor shower of course... The Comet returns. Listen to the newly unearthed 'Late Night Party Jam 2', taken from the earliest known Comet recordings, which as the name suggests goes hard.  ­ Listen ­

Formats Exploding In Slow Motion will be released in multiple physical formats, all of which feature revised and updated maximalist artwork, exhibiting the extraordinary work of artists and photographers Fabrice Bourgelle and Tilly Mint, and designer Oli Bentley.  Triple vinyl editions include The Ancient Tapes and the four previously unreleased tracks on vinyl for the first time. The records are packaged in printed inner and die-cut outer sleeves, with a die-cut O-card slipcase and a 60 x 60cm double-sided fold-out poster. For full sensory overload, each sleeve is printed on both outer and inner surfaces.

The motherlode in this case is the polychromatic ‘Ring Nebula’ edition of 500 (splatter and colour-in-colour discs) - available exclusively from Rough Trade and Bandcamp. ­ A triple vinyl edition on translucent violet, blue and orange vinyl is limited to 1,500 copies and will be available at record shops of the universe. ­ A new double CD supersedes the 2017 2CD special edition, adding Death To The Planet (on CD for the first time) and all the bonus material, packaged in an oversized gatefold card wallet with printed inners and a fold-out poster booklet. ­ Finally, a very limited run of double ‘rave case’ cassettes will be available exclusively through Bandcamp.
