ALMOND MARC Open All Night (Reissue, Expanded Edition)

Detailný popis:

• Marc Almond’s tenth studio album, originally released in March 1999.

• Re-configured as a 49 track expanded edition.

• “An evocative Jacques Brel meets John Barry landscape, with a midnight blue melancholy”. NME

• The Irish music magazine ‘Hot Press’ noted Open All Night’s “lush decadence and dissolution”.

• Featuring a collaboration with Siouxsie Sioux on the track ‘Threat Of Love’ and Kelli Ali on the glacially ethereal ‘Almost Diamonds’. Ali was the lead singer of British trip-hop band Sneaker Pimps.

• Includes a remix of ‘My Love’ by Dave Ball, Marc Almond’s erstwhile partner in celebrated synth-pop duo Soft Cell.

This new deluxe expanded edition is a comprehensive celebration of this singularly moody and magnificent Marc Almond album, the first big solo album released without any major label involvement. To quote Keith Phipps of AV Club, Marc effortlessly establishes himself herein as, “a smoky chanteuse of the synth age” offering “a private world of romantic martyrhood set to electronic beats”.

The curation of this expanded edition offers a multi-faceted insight into this unique album through the inclusion of alternative, demo and live versions of both album tracks and other contemporaneous songs. The three discs combined offer over three and a half hours of music. Disc One features the original album with three remixes, one of each of the singles released from it. Disc Two majors on bonus period studio recordings and demos. Disc Three offers live versions of many of the album tracks as well as the three dance remixes of the album’s debut single ‘Black Kiss’. The discs come with a 28-page colour lyrics booklet insert with photographs.
