Time And Desire

Hand numbered edition of 350 copies on 180 gm vinyl, including insert with liner notes. Text and design by Jan Van den Broeke. Pinhole photos by Lysiane Bourdon
After 2 illustrious retrospective LP-releases (‘11000 Dreams’ on STROOM in 2017 and ‘Lost and Latest’ on EE Tapes in 2020), Jan Van den Broeke – synth-art-pop, ambient, and downtempo minimal craftsman – is here to please us once more with a prominent new release. ‘Time And Desire’ contains Jan’s selection of 10 unpublished songs and cinematic tales about memory, the journey through life, the passage of time, the burning desire, the pain, the courage and hope… and some soothing miracle moments
We certainly hear echoes of ABSENT MUSIC and THE MISZ (Jan’s projects from the 1980’s), but we especially hear Jan and his loyal friends summarizing life, music, and poetry while completely blurring time. The 1980’s, the 2020’s – who cares? ‘Time And Desire’ really is an overwhelming musical journey
