AVANTGARDE DE LUXE
"Rustne bær skygger for spejlet"
Digitally released June 2021 by KRex, album with 25 songs in Danish language.

Live-optagelser fra 1984, hvor mange af numrene er fra LP'en "Jorden Under Mig". Albummet indeholder direkte beskidte udgaver fra lydprøver, øverum og livesæt, og giver et perfekt billede af gruppen, som den lød live. Der er ikke pyntet på noget, så der er en ret rå lyd på numrene, som blev indspillet til reference brug på cassettebånd.
Avantgarde De Luxe: Ivan Nio – Tobias Weltzer – Yellow Moon – Marianne Nyberg – Burnice B. Wealse.
