Editions Mego bringen in einigen Tagen eine Doppel-LP mit einer Neuauflage des Klassikers “Frantz!” des aus Andi Pieper und Ramon Bauer bestehenden Duos General Magic heraus – remastert von Russel Haswell, nach wie vor mit Artwork von Heike Nehl, diesmal ohne Ausrufezeichen und mit dem Bonustrack “Die Mondlandung” versehen, der 1995 auf einer Split-12″ erschien und nun erstmals wieder auf einem Tonträger erscheint. Die 14 Tracks des nach dem Skirennläufer und Olympiasieger Frantz Klammer benannten Albums bringen auf seinerzeit unerhörte Art Einflüsse des Techno, Industrial, Glitch und experimentellerer Musikarten unter einen Hut und setzten auch in technischer Hinsicht neue Akzente. 
“Listening to the test pressings of the remastered Frantz album for the first time on vinyl, 25 years after the original release on the then still young Mego label in 1997, felt like uncovering an ancient artefact. In those exciting days during the mid-1990s, together with the late Peter Rehberg, we founded a label called Mego to further explore the wonders of electronic music. And that is what we did for the next 10 years until everything became too much with the label in somewhat rough waters. So we dropped out of music business and pursued different things. It was Peter who continued producing and releasing music with the restarted label, now called Editions Mego. Until his unexpected death in July 2021, he developed Editions Mego into the grown-up and much acclaimed outfit for which it is known today. We will forever miss Peter’s inspiring personality and his uncompromising creativity. His legacy will live on in his music and in the vast and rich Mego and eMego catalogues. We are humbled and proud to have played a role in those formative years of the label.
Peter approached us in October 2020 with the idea to do a vinyl reissue of Frantz, just in time for the 25 year anniversary of its release. That came as a complete surprise for us, General Magic had not released any music or performed live for over 15 years. Anyway, we were delighted with the prospect of having that General Magic “classic” remastered (by the exceptional Russell Haswell) and released for the first time on vinyl on Editions Mego.” (Andi Pieper / Ramon Bauer)
