Not much interesting information about Blaine L. Reninger, whose real name is Blaine Leslie Reininger, except that he is an American singer-songwriter, particularly known for having been one of the members of the group 'Tuxedomoon'.
An artist who will remain mainly in the musical history of the end of the 20th century as a solo artist for the high-caliber Single "Voice of the hive" which was released in 1990.
For this reason alone, we had to dedicate this article to him.

1982...the Tuxedomoon adventure is not yet over and yet here is the artist's first solo title. A need for emancipation that at first glance seems salutary...
1982...because it will allow him to express something else and above all to display a style very different from the group from which he comes...
1982...we will especially notice with him that certain members of the group can do more classic and above all more structured things...
1983...this time he leaves Tuxedomoon for good to devote himself exclusively to his solo career. Wise decision...
1983...it would have been a shame if he hadn't tried this solo experience because there is talent in this artist, it must be said...
1984...certainly he doesn't come from Tuxedomoon for nothing and he brought with him some of their influences while managing to incorporate them with other clearly more classical influences of the time...
1984...which gives a result that is at least original, to say the least. Original but structured and that is the important thing...
1986...he will not produce any major hits during his career but what he offers is far from demeritorious, it must be said...
1987...an artist who will not remain the best known of his generation but who was able to offer things of more than certain quality...
1987...one could have imagined that the solo career would only last for a few albums, but it turned out to be decades. Yes, yes...
1987...given everything he has in the boxes it would have been a real shame if he didn't use it at some point or another, that's for sure...
1988...he will allow himself a few instrumental musical interludes to remind us where he comes from. And why not, you might say...
1988...a decade of the 80s which allowed him to show that he could exist entirely alone and without anyone's help...
1988...now remains to produce THE title that will be its marker for posterity. We are getting closer, we are getting closer...
1989...even if all the titles produced since his solo debut are of certain quality, he still hasn't managed to produce THIS famous title...
1989...if you try hard enough, you'll end up doing it, as they say. You can't believe for a second that it's not the case...
1989...what is certain is that it will not be for this decade of the 80s. We will therefore have to wait for the next one, hoping that...
1990...will this new decade finally be that of recognition, the real one ? Only the future can answer this question and him of course...
1990...he does everything he can to. Hard work always pays off and there is no reason why he should not be rewarded for his efforts...
1990...especially since he is good in all tempos, which doesn't hurt. A versatility worthy of the greatest, of course...
1990...and THE famous and long-awaited title, here it is ! A title that will undoubtedly remain as his reference title and which will finally allow him to have his name included in the musical Pantheon of the 80s...
1999...we will surprisingly lose sight of him for almost 9 years but here he is again no matter what. All in a form that we will call certain...
1999...sure, we're not going to lie to each other, the best years are now behind him. But it would have been a real shame if the adventure had ended definitively, that's for sure...
2007...here he is in instrumental music mode for film soundtracks that are already a few years old and which will not have really left a lasting impression...
2007...an instrumental mode that he masters well, it must be said that the Tuxedomoon experience helped a lot at this level, that's for sure...
2007...an adventure that continues slowly but surely. We are far from the level of production of the 80s but it doesn't matter, the main thing is to participate...
2013...we will lose sight of him again for almost 6 years but he is present again, faithful to the post as in the past. A will to believe until the end which commands respect incontestably...
2013...we find him once again in instrumental mode, a mode which does not necessarily help to shine more than that...
2018...so he puts lyrics back on this new opus, a contribution that can only help to bring him back to the surface. At least we hope so...
2018...the problem is that his repeated absences have not helped with an inevitable loss of audience. Difficult to reverse the trend in these cases but who knows, with him, everything is always possible and an umpteenth return is not necessarily excluded...
