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

[Greta]

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.

I don't know what causes this, maybe someone has a hint. 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)

[Greta]

Don't know what to say. I don't have problems on my end, but I use Mac with Brave or Safari.

Thanks for this upgrade, Greta!

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.........

No problems here ? Thank you Greta and have a Happy New Year.

I have a request, could someone upload this album to pixeldrain? My download on mega.nz always reaches 561.1 MB and stops. I will be grateful.
