Avant La Chute

Description

1997, the label Ici dailleurs was taking off and preparing to publish Yann Tiersens « The Lighthouse, the third album which was going to be the one of his general recognition. In order to promote him, we decided to release a small off-the-shelf compilation intended for people working in the music industry, with tracks from the three albums and two tracks not included on any of his albums, one, avant quils arrivent, from the Ici dailleurs compilation, and the other, la vie rêvée, created for the soundtrack of La vie rêvée des anges. With the catalogue number IDA000, Avant la chute had remained in the hands of a limited number of people. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the label, we wanted to show with this brief compilation the extent of Yann Tiersens talent, which today with the album Kerber still demonstrates his insatiable and ever-evolving creativity. Now felt like the perfect moment to release it on vinyl and digital at last, and to make it available to the many fans Yann Tiersen has gathered over the years.
