The eclipsed label portrait: BUREAU B free spirit and electronics

It is noticeable that it is predominantly German artists with whom Bureau B cooperates. Buskies: "With the re-releases we concentrated on Germany. It's not a must. It turned out that way. Contacts are easier because we operate in this environment." The offer may serve a niche, but it has nevertheless expanded. Reihse: "The spectrum has grown. Roedelius, Qluster, Schnitzler, Asmus Tietchens, Pyrolator or the things from the Atatak label. I don't own more records from any other label."

Buskies also pursues other strategies by adjusting his radar to labels that no longer exist, such as Sky Music or Populäre Mechanik, and re-releasing their music. Buskies: "There is no master plan. We look for the middle way between care, quality and feasibility. We use all formats: Vinyl, CD, Download. Our sales have increased. The Karl Bartos album sold as many as fifteen to twenty Reissues. We sell seventy percent abroad, mostly in the USA and England. An electronic album by Lloyd Cole will be released soon. Also Yann Tiersen with his new trio ESB is coming soon".
