Sylvain Chauveau — The Black Book of Capitalism

Sylvain Chauveau — The Black Book of Capitalism (TYPE025), remastered reissue, on vinyl for the first time

When
2008
Cover of The Black Book of Capitalism by Sylvain Chauveau

This is a release on Type Records, the label I co-founded with John Xela. John was responsible for its musical output; I contributed in the first few years on design and running the label. The catalogue is archived here for posterity.

Originally released in 2000, 'Le Livre Noir Du Capitalisme' was the first album from French composer Sylvain Chauveau. Now in 2008 it has been remastered and repackaged for Type Records, translated into the English 'The Black Book of Capitalism'. On this record we hear a rare playful side to the composer as he flirts with Gallic classical music, electronica, jazz, and even indie rock. Now remastered by Dubplates and Mastering in Berlin and on vinyl for the first time ever it sounds more relevant and timeless than it ever has.

Made at Type.
