Laurence Vanay * Gate away / Evening colours (1975 Female * French Folk * Jazz Rock * Experimental)

by Laurence Vanay (Gate away)

supported by

Sven B. Schreiber The albums "Galaxies" and "Evening colours" recorded by Jacqueline Thibault aka "Laurence Vanay" aka "Gateway" in the mid-70s have gained quite some cult status over the last few decades - after having been insufficiently promoted and hence largely ignored at the time of their release. And that's a real darn pity, given the outstanding creative quality of those works. Part of their weird history is the choice of some silly pseudonyms for Jacqueline Thibault on behalf of the labels issuing the albums for not so funny sexist marketing reasons, because crediting everything to a young French female songwriter was considered hampering album sales. So the bogus English band name "Gateway" was printed on the cover of "Evening colours"... go figure... In the meantime, most of the older albums done by Jacqueline Thibault are available again - with proper credits - thanks to the Peruvian label "Repsychled". If you are looking for later recordings released under her real name, visit the "Cristal Musique" site here on Bandcamp. Favorite track: Underwater light reflection.

about

"Evening Colours" deluxe CD edition

Laurence Vanay is the pseudonym for Jacqueline Thibault, wife of music producer and musician Laurent Thibault (Magma). The first ever reissue of her second album, originally released twice in 1975: a version on Galloway credited to fictitious English band Gateway, and once as a CAM label library LP—and incredibly rare in both incarnations. Pure genius: almost all instrumental, with gorgeous keyboards of many types (Hammond, Fender Rhodes, etc.), acoustic/electric guitar, even a little Zeuhl bass. Shimmering, dewy, mysterious, deeply emotional examples of melancholic musical beguilement; anyone with an affinity for golden age 4AD bands like the Cocteau Twins or Dead Can Dance will find much to love here, not to mention devotees of trip-hop pioneers like Portishead. A devastating high-fashion follow-up to the legendary "Galaxies".

•First ever reissue.
•Remastered from the original master tapes.

"Since childhood, I improvised and composed songs and instrumental music... it seemed to me that music was the true language of emotions. It was with great difficulty that I managed to record the albums “Galaxies” and “Evening Colours” in very limited time with the means at hand, and with the help of faithful musician friends." — Jacqueline Thibault.
