Label GB

<p>LTM Recordings, originally known as Les Temps Modernes, was founded in Edinburgh in 1983 by James Nice. The label's early releases showcased the talents of Section 25, The Happy Family, and Crispy Ambulance. After relocating to Brussels for four years in 1987, Nice also worked for Les Disques du Crepuscule and later PIAS. LTM was reactivated in 1997 with a focus on CD reissues from the bankrupt Factory Records and its European counterpart Les Disques du Crépuscule. Over time, the label expanded its scope to include new wave, electronic, and post-punk artists along with new recordings and DVDs.</p>

<p>In 2008, LTM launched the compilation series Auteur Labels featuring volumes dedicated to New Hormones, Crepuscule, Factory Records, Factory Benelux, Independent Project, and Object Music. Additionally, LTM has shown an interest in experimental artists from the 20th century such as Erik Satie, Wyndham Lewis,
Marcel Duchamp,
and William S. Burroughs. They have published audio works by these artists alongside compilations representing Futurist,
Dada,
Surrealist,
Bauhaus,
and De Stijl movements. Notably,the Boutique Label operates as a sub-division of LTM.</p>

Scottish indie pop band, initially active between 1981 and 1995. Often compared to New Order at first (they shared the same label, Factory, and toured with them), the band later signed to Sarah Records. After reforming in 2009 the group released a new album.


LTM presents a remastered CD edition of 'Tidal Wave of Hype', the fourth album by Glasgow indiepop pioneers The Wake, originally issued by Sarah Records in 1994. Recorded after the group slimmed down to a duo, 'Tidal Wave of Hype' was produced by the band with Duncan Cameron (Teenage Fanclub, BMX Bandits) at Riverside Studios. Along with core members Caesar (guitar and vocals) and Carolyn Allen (keyboards and vocals), the sessions also featured James Moody and Matthew Drummond of Sarah labelmates The Orchids.The new 2015 remaster features the original Sarah artwork as well as additional images by Matt Haynes.
