YANN TIERSEN – Avant La Chute – LP – Vinyl

LP – Black Vinyl. First time on vinyl.

Compilation EP of rarities and early tracks by Yann Tiersen that was originally only available on CD, and now pressed on vinyl for the first time. In 1997, the label Ici d’ailleurs was taking off and preparing to publish Yann Tiersen’s The Lighthouse, the third album which was going to be the one of his general recognition.

In order to promote him, they decided to release a small off-the-shelf compilation intended for people working in the music industry, with tracks from the three albums and two tracks not included on any of his albums, one, “avant qu’ils arrivent”, from the Ici d’Ailleurs compilation, and the other, “la vie rve“, created for the soundtrack of “La Vie Rve des Anges.”

With the catalogue number IDA000, Avant La Chute had remained in the hands of a limited number of people. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the label, we wanted to show with this brief compilation the extent of Yann Tiersen’s talent, which today with the album Kerber still demonstrates his insatiable and ever-evolving creativity. Now felt like the perfect moment to release it on vinyl and digital at last, and to make it available to the many fans Yann Tiersen has gathered over the years.

Tracklist:

1. le quartier
2. soir de fte
3. avant la chute
4. avant qu’ils n’arrivent
