"The world's 40 best bands ever teach the LV88 how to make real hits out of their crappy songs"
A tribute to one of the most eminent and influential bands of the 80s/90s French scene, the 2 volumes of this box (CRASH CDD 61) - with artwork by illustrator Melvin and big fat leaflet including all the trivia and off-take stuff you will love to discover about LV88 - offer a large panorama of the "alternative" scene of the recent years, not forgetting some unique unlikely pieces. Participations then includes all the friends and all time spiritual sons of the band such as Massilia Sound System, Washington Dead Cats, Les Fils de Teuhpu, Marcel & Son Orchestre, Swinkels, Los Tres Puntos, Le Maximum Kouette, Les Suprêmes Dindes, Dead Pop Club, Junior Cony, Laréplik, Killa Carltoon & PM, Les Betteraves (future Guérilla Poubelle), Homeboys, La Fraction, Sporto Kantes, David Vincent (ex-Les Amis D'Ta Femme), Lutin Bleu, Unlogistic, René Binamé, Cellule X...
The recipe is brilliantly spiced up by the variety of geographic origins of the participants (France, Belgium, Quebec), the multiple languages used (French, Wallon, Langue d'Oc and even English) and the various means used (from the cosy studio to the live take) : we did not wish for a predictable clean and cold compilation where all would faithfully reproduce the original tracks. Enjoy!!!
