Blaine L. Reininger—American songwriter, musician, multi-instrumentalist, writer and performer, best known as a member of the Californian post-punk, new wave band Tuxedomoon who migrated on mass to Europe in the 1980s—speaks with James Nice, owner of Les Disques du Crépuscule and Factory Benelux, about their formative time together in the emerging Brussels music scene.

Une ville avec un fleuve enterré
Voilà la ville avec un fleuve enterré
Qui coule sous les pavés
Ciel de plomb
Bas en dessous de la place dorée
Bruxelles des années 80
Ma joie et mes remords
Dans le vidéo bar branché où
Sans un sou sur la rue
Des superstars inconnues
En longs manteaux noirs
 
Je suis assis sur une rive lointaine
Savourant ce chagrin ancien
Perdu dans la musique
Déformé par la musique
Posant dans le cimetière
Debout sous la pluie

A city with a buried river
 
Here is the city with a buried river
Which flows under the cobblestones
leaden sky
Down below the golden square
80s Brussels
My joy and my remorse
In the trendy video bar where
Without a penny in the street
Unknown Superstars
In long black coats
I sit on a distant shore
Savoring this ancient sorrow
lost in the music
Distorted by the music
Posing in the cemetery
Standing in the rain
