Experimental music project Conveniens breathes new life into its archival gem “Cigarette Trick,” a track that epitomizes the innovative sound landscape of mid-80s electronic music. Originally released on the V.O.C. album in 1986, this reissue offers a pristine restoration of a track that sits at the intersection of Chicago Steppin’, jazz, and psychedelic groove.

“Cigarette Trick” is a masterful blend of vintage and cutting-edge sonic elements. An old school drum machine provides the foundational rhythm, while a Prophet-5 synthesizer weaves intricate jazzy renderings across the track’s atmospheric landscape. The result is a downtempo exploration that defies easy categorization—part Chicago Steppin’ style, part jazz fusion, with subtle undertones of trip-hop and psychedelic experimentation.

This 2024 reissue arrives with a renewed sense of musical relevance, inviting both longtime fans and new listeners to experience a piece of electronic music history. The track stands as a testament to conveniens’ ahead-of-its-time musical vision, capturing a moment when synthesizer technology was rapidly transforming musical expression.
