Family

Un soplo en el corazón [Tenth anniversary special edition] [2003]

ER-1109 CD Digipak

FAMILY is a legendary name in the Spanish music scene of all time. And they reached this cult status with only an album, a perfect record from its start until its last second, that they filled with such influences as the guitar playing of Johnny Marr (THE SMITHS), the melodic basslines of Peter Hook (NEW ORDER), the synthetic elegance of PET SHOP BOYS, the unique style of Spanish pop star Carlos Berlanga (and his admired Antonio Carlos Jobim). A true masterpiece which didn’t need big promotion campaigns: as a matter of fact, FAMILY didn’t give almost any interviews, got any pictures taken or played live onstage.
In 2003 their only album, “Un soplo en el corazón” (a tribute to the film by Louis Malle) was reissued to coincide with its tenth anniversary. For this event Javier Aramburu himself (who in the meantime had become one of the best Spanish designers) adapted the original cover artwork to the new digipak format, so this masterwork is now presented as it deserves.
