LE MANS’ third album digipack reissue, re-mastered by Xavier Alarcón (VANGUARD), along with an adapted cover by Javier Aramburu and a booklet with the lyrics. This is the album that confirmed LE MANS as great song-makers. "Saudade" is a Portuguese term meaning something like "sad longing" : it is pleasant and reassuring to see how LE MANS had enough perspective to define their music in such a clear and concise and, at the same moment, original way; in fact, "Saudade" is an album to be listened to calmly, carefully, and many times, in order to capture the essence of its serene beauty. The songs are all about eternal subjects as coolness, nostalgia and disillusionment; like gray and fall postcards, as the magnificent covers that wraps it. Orchestration is austere, bare, stressing Jone´s warm and touching voice and Ibon´s guitar arpeggios, paying homage once again to the great Nick Drake.
