Broken Fingers is Blaine L. Reininger's first solo album for Les Disques du Crépuscule (TWI 068), recorded in February 1982 with assistance from Tuxedomoon colleagues Peter Principle and Steven Brown.

 

As well as the haunting title track, this eclectic set includes lively ethnic jig Nur Al Hajj, along with exquisite violin miniatures Petit Piece Chinoise and Les Nuages.

 

The five bonus tracks include both sides of non-album single Magnetic Life (TWI 144), plus rare versions of solo Blaine songs performed by Tuxedomoon. Original artwork by Saskia Lupini.
