Press Info:
Originally released on Laurent Garnier’s French label, F Communications, in 1997, 30 has long been out of print in the United States until now when Mute reissues it on January 27th, 2004.

30 is the follow-up to Garnier’s artist debut, Shot in the Dark (1995, reissued by Mute in 2001) and preceded the acclaimedUnreasonable Behaviour in 2000.

30 spawned the classic singles, “Crispy Bacon,” “Flashback,” and “The Hoe.”

Laurent Garnier and author David Brun-Lambert have written the book, Electrochoc, featuring stories and photos of Laurent Garnier’s musical journey while traipsing all these years between Tokyo, Sydney, Berlin and Manchester. It was published in France in the fall of 2003 and has sold 9000 copies.

Also in the fall of 2003, Laurent Garnier released the import-only, Excessive Baggage 5 CD box set thorugh F Communications.

Laurent explains,
“The whole box set idea came to me after we had been working for a few months with David-Brun Lambert (co-writer) on my book, Electrochoc. We wanted to somehow illustrate what we had been writing about, although with out being directly linked to it. Something urban, eclectic, timeless which would really define the music that makes my heart pound. I’ve chosen a few cities with which I have truly built a special relationship: Paris, London, Barcelona & Detroit. 4 countries, 81 tracks, 5 mixes recorded for 5 different occasions, in really different moods & atmospheres.”
