Time And Desire

After 2 illustrious retrospective LP-releases ('11000 Dreams' on STROOM in 2017 and ‘Lost and Latest’ on EE Tapes in 2020), Jan Van den Broeke – synth-art-pop, ambient, and downtempo minimal craftsman – is here to please us once more with a prominent new release.
‘TIME AND DESIRE’ contains Jan’s selection of 10 unpublished songs and cinematic tales about memory, the journey through life, the passage of time, the burning desire, the pain, the courage and hope... and some soothing miracle moments.
Presented here are 9 tracks by JUNE11 and 1 by CANTO DE MUDO, in which – as we know Jan - electronics, acoustics, samples and voices (including those of Drita Kotaji and Helena Legaz Torregrosa) meet and dissolve. Across the world. Across emotions.
We certainly hear echoes of ABSENT MUSIC and THE MISZ (Jan’s projects from the 1980’s), but we especially hear Jan and his loyal friends summarizing life, music, and poetry while completely blurring time. The 1980’s, the 2020’s – who cares? ‘TIME AND DESIRE’ is an overwhelming musical journey.
