Antena
Camino Del Sol (blue & Orange Vinyl)
1982, Brussels: The former au pair for Rick Wakeman of Yes and two of her teenage friends are at the doorstep of Les
Disques Du Crepuscule, ready to cut an album with Gilles Martin. Living on busking wages and next door to Tuxedomoon,
their work results in a contemporary bossanova record that would provide a missing link between Antonio Carlos Jobim and
Kraftwerk. Camino Del Sol was issued and promptly forgotten, with Isabelle Antena moving toward jazz in Asia and the
others returning to France. Twenty years later, it was findable only as a VG+ LP with a sticker price of $4.99.
Intrigued by the striking covers sunlit patio furniture emptiness basking in the south of France, we scooped up Camino
Del Sol and grouped the extant Antena recordings from that exceptional period by session. Our definitive 2LP reissue of
the original five-song mini-LP adds the groups first 12" (a cover of Jobims "Girl From Ipanema," naturally), the Seaside
Weekend 12", compilation tracks, and two previously unissued cuts, recasting this short-lived combos forward-thinking
milemarker as a modern-day masterstroke.
