What you hold in your hands is a best of the Atmosphere band, which released two albums and a 7” single between 1981 and 1986. Privately pressed and long out of print, with original copies very hard to come by even in their country of origin, these records have for years been unheard by anyone outside hardcore collector circles. With no master tapes available, it was a real labor of love to track down the best quality vinyl copies and to reissue a selection of our favorite tracks in professionally remastered form.
Editions de Lux is a new label dedicated to unearthing and releasing records we love and believe deserve more attention, with a focus on Luxembourg and the surrounding countries. The latest in a long line of immigrants who have come to work in Luxembourg and who are trying to find our own path into the heart of the mysterious little country that has much more to it than dark forests, medieval castles, rusting steel mills, and shadowy banks.
* Played by Gilles Peterson in his show on BBC Radio 6
* Remastered by Wouter Brandenburg at Brandenburg Remastering

STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: A real digger's delight. Luxembourg jazz-funk group Atmopshere released a modest amount of releases, the best of which are collated here for your enjoyment. Serious style and class across all five tracks - Editions De Lux open their account in fine form.TRACK LISTING
