David Bowie - The Next Day - VINYL LP

Avec Le Soleil Sortant De Sa Bouche began in 2011, with bassist, singer and composer Jean-Sebastien Truchy seeking a new live ensemble to fuel his desired return to exploring the highly structured afro-kraut trance rock that was one of several stocks-in-trade during his tenure in early Constellation project and pseudo-legendary Fly Pan Am. Avec le soleil is by now careening towards mastery of a highly original, giddy and heady avant-funk. The group's music is woven with crisp stuttering guitar and keyboard lines and a continually shifting palette of electronic touches and interventions.

Deluxe set housed in a replica of the original tape box and features one LP, a print, two photo contact sheets, and sleeve notes by Mark Adams. The labels of the LP feature the same EMIDISC acetate styling as Spying Through A Keyhole and Clareville Grove Demos with the song titles in Bowie's own handwriting. The Mercury Demos are ten early Bowie recordings captured live in one take to a Revox reel to reel tape machine inBowie's flat in spring 1969, with accompaniment from John InchHutchInch Hutchinson on guitar and vocals. Driven by an entirely deeper dynamic than most pop artists, David Bowie inhabited a very special world of extraordinary sounds and endless vision.

Vinyl LP pressing. 2002's HEATHEN was the first album Bowie and Tony Visconti had worked on together in twenty-two years. Recorded in a residential studio in upstate New York, it was the first Bowie album of the new millennium that represented a commercial resurgence and return to his Art Rock sound of the 1970's. Guest guitarists on the album included Pete Townshend, Dave Grohl and longtime collaborator Carlos Alomar.
