Re-print of the two double-CD compilations - now in 6-panel Digifiles - originally released in March 2008 and deleted for over 10 years!
After twelve years of complete silence and unavailability of all of their releases, in year 2008 legendary LUCIE CRIES returned, not with new material but with a MEGA double-collection of their complete works!
Gathered on two volumes, the too long unavailable material by one of France’s most respected, best remembered and most missed Gothrock acts is finally been made available again to all of their old and new fans! This massive collection not only contains their four mythical maxi- hitsingles, but also all of their three albums, their fifth maxi (recorded in 1996 but never released due to the collapse of their distribution), lots of rare compilation tracks and above all several completely unreleased songs from various periods of time in the existance of this seminal act!
The two volumes offer all in all 70 tracks, of which 16 have never been available on CD before! From their first ever released song ‘The Muse’s Calling’ (from legendary Alea Iacta Est-sampler ‘L’Appel de la muse’, 1989) up to their last ever recorded songs from 1996, this is THEEE essential release not only for Lucie Cries-Fans, but all conaisseurs of the French Gothrock and New Wave scene. An in depth Biography (both in English and French) written by Lucie Cries-. frontman Olivier Paccaud further completes this unmissable, must-have collection!
