Ana D

Satélite 99 [Tenth anniversary special edition] [2007]

ER-1128 Double-CD Digipak

In October it will be ten years since we released one of the most uniquerecords we know of. A kind of cosmic-melodic chanson that had never been done before and hasn't been done ever since. Ana D has become since then a legendary name, and we want to celebrate the tenth anniversary of her only official album as it deserves: with a full re-release that rises to its condition of lost classic album, joining an extra bonus album.
Today, "Satélite 99" sounds as fascinatingly weird and beautiful as it didthen. On this album Ana D and her companions, producers and arrangers(Ibon Errazkin and Javier Corcobado) used vintage instruments and forgottenbeat boxes to create their own kind of "acoustic synth-pop", with referencesthat ranged from Kurt Weill and Serge Gainsbourg to Astrud Gilberto and SUICIDE. Since the very moment when it was released, the album received unanimous acclaim: Dean Wareham (GALAXIE 500, LUNA, Dean & Britta) chose the album among his favourites that year, and international film star Pedro Almodóvar chose a song by Ana D to be included in a personal compilation.

The album was also released in Argentina and in the USA. On an American tour Ana and Ibon recorded a live session for renowned LA radio show "Morning Becomes Eclectic" (other artists recording sessions on those dates were THE FLAMING LIPS, Billy Bragg or THE BETA BAND). Those songs, naked skeletons that had the only accompaniment of Ibon's elegant, folkie guitar playing, are now available as the core of the extra record with which we enhance this very special re-release: apart from the five songs from that radio session, on this new candy for the fans we have featured the two songs recorded by Ana D for our Singles Club, and the three songs she recorded in 2003 with Sergio Fernández (Kamamuri). An already known track of her own ("Andrómeda") and two cover versions, one of fellow Elefant recording artists (and fellow one-album-wonders) FAMILY and a previously unreleased version of Brazilian singer Roberto Carlos.The perfect gift to go along with a record that after ten years keeps hypnotizing its listeners with its timeless magic. Don't be afraid of magic and dive deep in it, you won't regret it.

Recordando [1998]

ER-185 Single 7" [sold out]

Two previously unreleased tracks, not included in her astonishingly beautiful debut album. Done with the help of Ibon Errazkin from LE MANS, these songs capture all the beauty and charm of her voice and the simple, catching arrangements. Minimal spacey standard melodic pop, if you want an impossible definition.

Satélite 99 [1997]

ER-1045 CD Digipak [sold out] / LP [sold out]

The spirit of Kurt Weill is mixed with the best synth-pop in a spacey production, where Ana's warm voice bewitches the listener with galactic tangos and boleros going pop. With the help of Ibon from LE MANS and Spanish legend Javier Corcobado. A true classic sung by an interstellar siren.

"Momentos perdidos" shouldn´t be seen as the usual compilation, nor a balance of the most representative stuff from the last years: we only expect to bring you a collection of delightful songs that, due to different reasons, were hidden in a record or never came to be published.
