Laurence Vanay is the pseudonym for Jacqueline Thibault, wife of music producer and musician Laurent Thibault (Magma). Under that name, she released a small number of great albums in the 70s, but this is an archival release of all previously unheard recordings from the late 70s!
�My ship of stone, tonight I came as a passer-by. Yet I gave you everything, my joy, my love, my freedom. I feel like singing, dancing, laughing like in the old times.� �Jacqueline Thibault (from �Mon vaisseau de Pierre,' a tribute to the H�rouville castle). Jacqueline Thibault (Laurence Vanay) often worked for other artists at the legendary Ch�teau d�H�rouville studio as arranger, keyboardist, co-composer, and assistant sound engineer. Between sessions she sometimes managed to record her own music. Several years after her two acknowledged masterpieces, "Galaxies" and "Evening Colours," she was able to bring together the tracks for �La Petite Fen�tre� (The Little Window). As the 1970's ended, trouble with the Ch�teau finances meant that again it was impossible for her to present her work to interested record labels. Instead, "I worked in another recording studio in Paris for fashionable artists," she said, "and I managed after a time to resume and complete my unfinished songs." By that time, the French record companies were not interested in instrumental music anymore. The recordings therefore found themselves asleep on Parisian shelves, pending potential better days. Sublime compositions: unique, melancholic and very powerful."
