Antena - Camino Del Sol

A true genre classic, Camino del Sol was originally issued as a 5 track mini-album by Les Disques du Crépuscule in October 1982.

The chic French trio's groundbreaking mix of Kraftwerk, Suicide and breezy Gilberto tropicalia still sounds as fresh as it did back then, when John Foxx produced The Boy From Ipanema, their first single, and future Pet Shop Boy Neil Tennant tagged Antena "electro-samba". Echoes of the original Antena sound can be heard in artists as diverse as Stereolab, Tortoise and Thievery Corporation.

This definitive double disc edition of TWI 114 features 36 tracks, with the five songs from the original vinyl issue joined by four from the 7- and 12-inch versions of The Boy From Ipanema and a selection of rare demos and compilation tracks.

The bonus disc features 19 tracks recorded live on the Move Back-Bite Harder tour in October 1982, including two previously unreleased songs: Mirador, and New York USA. Tracks 1 to 10 were recorded at Tielt on 8 October; tracks 11 to 19 at Brussels Salle Albert on 5 October.
