Title: [CAM] - CML 121 - Laurence Vanay - Evening Colours (1977)

This is a record I always had a soft spot for, and since I think it has never been shared before, I decided to share it today hoping someone will enjoy it as much as I do.
Originally edited by Galloway in 1975 it had almost zero success, but once re-edited by CAM two years later and distributed wider, it experienced the success it deserved.

This description that I found certainly describes this album better than I could, and I certainly agree with it:
"Pure genius: almost all instrumental, with gorgeous keyboards of many types (Hammond, Fender Rhodes, etc.), acoustic/electric guitar, even a little Zeuhl bass. Shimmering, dewy, mysterious, deeply emotional examples of melancholic musical beguilement; anyone with an affinity for golden age 4AD bands like the Cocteau Twins or Dead Can Dance will find much to love here."

A concept album, I would say, weird and emotional.
Make a mess tonight, toast and have fun. But tomorrow relax and meditate while listening to this album in peace.

Can't remember where I got this from, but I think it's the Lion Productions reissue on CD from 2014

Enjoy.
And best wishes for a great 2024 to everyone.

Sometimes on mega.nz I have a problem that large files over 400MB download to 40% and suddenly the download stops. Stopping and restarting doesn't do anything either. On both browsers (Firefox and Chrome)

I had an old mp3 of this dated to June 2011, just before LMT hit the scene. So not sure where it came from, but likely one of the old library blogspots ;)

I left my Mac on downloading the file but after maybe two hours I came back to find the download had stopped part way through and would not restart. So it's not just you Ene. I've moved Greta's file (for which thank you Greta - am looking forward to listening to it when Mega obliges!) into my own Mega folder. But even now the download seems to have stopped with the word "Frozen" - from my own Mega account. Maybe it's because I'm still in 2023 and New Zealand is in 2024.........

Post by: tezeta on January 03, 2024, 09:00:03 PM: Great share. I was thinking of posting it here myself! A beautiful record indeed, and one of the few library albums I own on CD. Definitely, definitely, a huge favorite.

Thank you Greta and the whole community, here's to a great new year!

Post by: tezeta on January 03, 2024, 09:03:25 PM: ... This album is sort of like "when is a library record, not really a library record?" Let me explain: This album was conceived as a band project; the band's name was Gate Way, and the album was to be the basis of an upcoming tour. Sadly, Jacqueline Thibault (aka Laurence Vanay) was in a terrible car accident just after the album's recording, the tour was scrapped, and the rights to Evening Colours were subsequently sold off to CAM and a couple other labels.
