Myth Syzer Nirvana

Formed in 1970 in Martigues, Nirvana is quickly emerging as the great hope of the local scene. Their psychedelic music is perfectly in tune with the times and opens the door to all the venues and festivals in the region. In 1973, it is the consecration when the group wins the springboard of Golf Druot. The national press is now interested in the combo that goes up to the first part of prestigious group like Martin Circus or "Amon Düül II". An album project is born and the tours follow each other throughout the year 1974. The critics are laudatory but the band, faces financial difficulties and will end up throwing in the towel in 1976 after recording 2 titles in the studio…

This 18 track collection brings together live broadcast recordings of tracks performed by Nirvana but on which none of the band members get a credit. Featuring the good, the bad and – on occasion – the ugly, these recordings nevertheless reveal a little more about Nirvana than one would attain from listening only to their studio albums.

Uversal Music/Polydor will release 30th anniversary editions of Nirvana‘s classic 1991 album Nevermind album, in November. While the 4CD+DVD set from ten years ago was concerned with alternate mixes, rehearsals, BBC sessions and Live at the Paramount, a decade on and there is a big focus on live performance. In the 5CD+blu-ray super deluxe, the album itself has been remastered from the original analog tapes (the previous remaster was generally disliked by fans) and added to that are four complete concerts from the Nevermind tour from Amsterdam, Netherlands; Del Mar, California; Melbourne, Australia and Tokyo, Japan.
