This Autumn will see the release of a 2CD set from Can founding member Irmin Schmidt. Entitled Villa Wunderbar, the release compiles Schmidt’s solo and soundtrack work, including two unreleased Can remixes, ‘Alice’ and ‘Last Night Sleep’.
CD1 is a collection of Schmidt’s solo work over the past 30 years and CD2, curated by long-term collaborator Wim Wenders, compiles Schmidt’s film and television soundtrack work.

The press release notes that “Schmidt’s sound-trips combine what normally competes and conflicts: rock, pop, jazz, classic, electronic, ambient, drum ‘n’ bass, waltz, eastern”.
Ahead of its release on November 4th via Mute and Spoon, Mute is offering a stream of six very different and very excellent tracks off Villa Wunderbar. We are in for a treat.
