Lucie Cries returns with a reissue of ‘Non Nova & Sed Nove Vol. 1 & 2’ on CD

Originally released in March 2008, these compilations have been out of print for more than 10 years.

The reissued collection comes in a sleek 6-panel digifile format and holds four CDs and 70 tracks, including 16 that have never been available on CD before. The albums hold material from their earliest recording, “The Muse’s Calling” from 1989, to their final tracks recorded in 1996, some of which were never released due to the collapse of their distribution.

“Non Nova & Sed Nove Vol. 1” includes the band’s albums “Red Non Verba” (1993) and “Semper ad Alta” (1994), as well as previously unreleased material and rare compilation tracks. “Non Nova & Sed Nove Vol. 2” continues this deep dive into Lucie Cries’ discography, featuring albums such as “Nihil ex Nihilo” (1995) and “La Loi d’avril” (1993), along with even more unreleased tracks and live versions.

Frontman Olivier Paccaud has also contributed an in-depth biography in both English and French, offering fans an intimate look at the band’s history and the making of their music.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
