Le Mans

Le Mans reissues

It’s well known, and especially as time goes by, that LE MANS was one of the most personal, original and captivating Spanish bands from the 90’s Spanish pop. A band that reached cult-class all around the world, and which nowadays is still adding fans day by day thanks to its own pop proposal: erudite (with explicit or suggested references of best time’s pop music), sensitive, and above all, lovely. Their melodies, the growing originality of the arrangements and Jone’s warm and touching voice have been influencing for its part a whole generation of artists emerging in the Spanish indie-pop scene.

During this year, Elefant Records has made a promoter effort of the LE MANS’ excellent catalogue, releasing all their albums, "Catástrofe nº 17"'s singles compilation before of all, and chronologically reverse by its release date. In February was released "Aquí vivía yo", the band’s chef d’oeuvre in 1998, and in May we did the same with "Saudade". Both albums, as all this series’ reissues, were carefully presented with great detail, released in digipack, and along with a booklet with the lyrics and credits, and also re-mastered by Xavier Alarcón (VANGUARD) in order to highlight all its original splendour. The two remaining episodes, as the previous ones in digipack, along with booklet and accordingly re-mastered will be released very soon: "Entresemana", the band’s second album, and "Le Mans", the album that inaugurated one of the most productive, creative and remembered careers of the recent Spanish music. Four albums to be present in every collection proud to be so.
