Having studied violin from age 9, guitar from age 11, and music theory and composition through high school and into college, he left Colorado in 1976 for San Francisco. There, in 1977, as a consequence of his studies in electronic music at San Francisco City College, he started the legendary American cult band Tuxedomoon together with classmate Steven Brown.
In 1981, Reininger and the group left America to practice their art in Europe. Over the course of the next 26 years, many artistic collaborations took place and many albums were recorded. These collaborations, while mostly musical in nature, often moved into other fields such as dance, theatre, and film.
Since 2000, Tuxedomoon has been re-united and tours the known universe about once a year.
Reininger continues to live and work in Europe, having lived in Athens, Greece since 1998.

Mystery and confusion
Blaine L. Reininger Lyrics
They were riding the Metro into town
Listening to the latest noise
Modern girls with headphones on their heads
Modern European boys
Βusinessmen in leather overcoats
Staring at their wrist T.V.′s
Pale accountants balancing the books
Computers resting on their knees
Modern Europe in between wars
Wears Japanese technology.
Why start a war when the future's just arrived?
It′s a mystery to me
Mystery and confusion
History as illusion
Mystery and confusion
History as illusion
Mystery and confusion
History as illusion
Mystery and confusion
History as illusion

I'm almost having tears in my eyes - I listend to him such a long time ago!!! He was one of my favorites. And Tuxedomoon my favorite band. I saw him live in Germany in Frankfurt at the Batschkapp when I was 21...well that was 22 years ago. Never saw this video - great memories and I am still as crazy

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!! I'm so stupid! It's 20 years I'm trying this song. It was on a tape casually abandoned in my car. I loved the tuxedomoon and this this voice was familiar to me but this song didn't exist on discography of Tuxedomoon. And today, after 20 years, I meet it again. After the concert of 2007, in Bari I know: Reininger is the best! Now I'm going to buy Night Air!
