The very first CD release of the classic 1980 compilation album From Brussels With Love, which was also the debut release from chic Belgian indie label Les Disques du Crepuscule (TWI 007). Originally released as a deluxe cassette/book package in November 1980 it featured 20 exclusive tracks from the international avant garde and new wave, as well as the celebrated Factory Records roster. Then, as now, the contributing artists include Gavin Bryars, Harold Budd, Dome, The Durutti Column, John Foxx, Martin Hannett, Richard Jobson, Bill Nelson, New Order and Michael Nyman. The programme also includes extended interviews with Brian Eno and iconic French actress Jeanne Moreau.
The CD has been digitally remastered from the original master tapes, and features 75 minutes of material. Most of the tracks featured here remain unavailable elsewhere. For reasons of space just one has been deleted from the original cassette (A Certain Ratio), although this track is available on LTMCD 2443.
The 20-pages facsimile booklet features original artwork by Benoît Hennebert, Claude Stassart and Jean-François Octave, as well as archive images and detailed liner notes.
