Why should two albums of Renaud HANTSON, released in 2002 and 2008, be republished now ?
These disks didn’t get the exposition they might have deserved and represent a rather gloomy period in his life, when he was at the climax of an addiction which was spoiling his life. However, when you listen to the songs, you can be surprised by the harmonic and melodic quality which prevails all trough these albums. The singer didn’t want these songs to remain in drawers. He wished everybody could have the opportunity to discover or re-discover them. Through these songs, we can notice collaborations with various artists, such as Francis LALANNE, Pierre PALMADE and Michael JONES.
We can also discover very different covers, like Daniel BALAVOINE’s “Lucie”, MADONNA’s “Into the Groove”, “S.O.S d’un Terrien en Détresse” from STARMANIA or “J’aurais l’Air de Quoi?” by Philippe CATALDO. For the production of “La Fissure du Temps”, Renaud asked for the help of his faithful fellow programmer and arranger Didier ESCUDERO and trusted him with the heavy task of re-orchestrate the songs, in order to give them a new, more up-to-date, “colour” to restore them, as it can be done with a painting, as it were. For the most faithful “aficionados”, eight never-released titles have been added, for they couldn’t remain hidden either and they testify to an epoch. Finally, the total number of songs on this double-album reaches 36 !
Just because of those eight unreleased songs, the re-packaging and the re-arrangements of the already released titles, this limited edition is “collector” and contributes to making of Renaud HANTSON a cult artist, a genuine craftsman of music, always in contact with his public, in his numerous concerts.
This re-edition is a journey through time, a contribution to all the musicians who crossed his path. Already the author of a first book intitled “Poudre aux Yeux (Sexe & drogues & show business)” and right in the process of writing his second essay, Renaud HANTSON is more than ever desirous to leave a little musical trace of his passage among us.
