Jan Van den Broeke ‎- Lost And Latest (2021)

After the celebrated LP-releases on STROOM (Jan Van den Broeke '11000 Dreams' / 2017) and MINIMAL WAVE (The Misz 'The Lonely Crowd' / 2019) EE Tapes proudly presents a new beguiling retrospective of Belgian art-house and ambient music artist Jan Van den Broeke.

‘Lost And Latest’ is - again - a cherry-picked set of the many projects of Jan, including ABSENT MUSIC, THE MISZ, JUNE11, and even his recent occasional project CANTO DE MUDO.
The 36 years spanning album (1984-2020) reveals 12 tracks - 6 of them were never released before, and 2 others can only be found on an obscure 1984 tape - blurring the boundaries between lo-fi minimal, desolate synth-pop, evocative and tender Spanish, French, and… black poetry and wide cinematic landscapes.

All tracks were (re)mixed and (re)mastered in 2019-2020 by Jan himself. The album closes with 3 brand new songs, composed over the last 2 years. They are intriguing and promising tracks, as Jan explains: ‘I didn't want to end the album with the usual sad song. I chose compact and rather hopeful ones instead. I think we all need hope these days, don’t we?'.
