Spice Crackers (30th Anniversary Edition)

(2025/11/05) „The secret of spice seems to follow,
The journey about to begin,
The time you will spend won't be wasted
No matter the steward may bring,
Come taste them one by one -
The crackers he lays in your hand“

HURRAH! To celebrate its anniversary, our album “Spice Crackers” is finally being released on vinyl – available in two editions: a 2-LP gatefold version and a limited 4-LP box set packed with extras.

The 2-LP edition will be available in Germany from December 12, 2025, and internationally from January 9, 2026. The 4-LP box set, limited to just 500 copies, is available now exclusively through the Bureau B shop.

All details about ordering and the links can be found here: https://orcd.co/camouflage-spice-crackers

For this release, we’ve created a brand-new audio master based on the original 1995 recordings. The additional tracks featured on the 4-LP box set – which follows the same tracklisting as the “Deluxe Version” (2009) – have also been completely remastered. We’re absolutely thrilled with the result and believe this remarkable album has never sounded better than it does in this new edition.


Press release BUREAU B: Camouflage are one of the few German bands to have been making music successfully at home and abroad for the last couple of decades. “The Great Commandment” (1987) and “Love Is A Shield” (1989) were actually worldwide hits. After four albums, Camouflage felt it was time to experiment. This phase reached its zenith with the album “Spice Crackers” in 1995 – the most daring, most interesting work they ever released. Electropop tracks sit side by side with hypnotic, repetetive, spheric tracks. Now, 30 years later, “Spice Crackers” will finally be released on vinyl for the first time!

(2025/09/21) Dear CAMOUFLAGE Fans,

Last weekend we played our final concert of this year, looking back on a wonderful year full of great shows and unforgettable moments we were able to share with you. Thank you so much!

While we are already working on new song ideas (yes – they really do exist 😉), we’ve also made lots of plans for 2026, which we’ll be sharing with you over the coming weeks and months.

We’ll kick things off with a very special cruise on Mein Schiff 1, where we’ll be playing two exclusive concerts on board. This cruise, under the motto “Schallwellen”, takes place from May 3–8, 2026 and will take us across the Mediterranean starting from Mallorca.

In addition, next year we’ll be performing short sets at four fantastic 80s festivals – in Hamburg, Gelsenkirchen, Frankfurt, and Vienna.

Summer 2026 will bring more open-air shows, before we head into the fall with a number of concerts planned across Europe.


Here’s an overview of the already confirmed dates:
