YANN TIERSEN – LA VALSE DES MONSTRES / THE WALTZ OF THE MONSTERS – (2012 REISSUE / REMASTERED) – LP

LP are re-mastered, and for the first time ever available in English (English version for CDs will come later). When the albums were originally released there were predominantly sold in France but subsequently Yann has become known all over the world. For that wider audience he has painstakingly translated the titles into English, doing it himself to ensure the original meanings and sentiment are kept. Where occasionaly the song lyric are in French, or there is just no other way to say it, the title remains in French…
