Kleptomania专辑介绍

“Kleptomania”字面意为窃盗僻或窃盗狂热,是Mansun的第四张专辑,亦是他们最后的作品。但“Kleptomania”却不是以正式专辑的名义发行,当初因主唱Paul Draper对这第四张专辑不甚满意(熟悉他们的乐迷因该都知道他对自己的作品要求完美),原本应该石沉大海的第四张专辑,在歌迷们强烈要求下EMI在2004年以豪华3CD的形式发行。

Kleptomania is the fourth and final album by English rock band Mansun, released in September 2004 following the band's split. The first CD features the material that was to form the basis the band's next album, which was originally going to be self-titled, and the other 2 CDs feature EP tracks, outtakes and demos.

The band split during the final recording session for the album, leaving some unfinished tracks which weren't included on Kleptomania. The full reasons for the split have never been made public, but in a press release Paul Draper stated that the band had simply "grown apart".

EMI had originally not intended to release the material until an online petition, which gained over 4000 signatures, demonstrated that there was demand for it from fans. Draper was not in a positive frame of mind about Mansun at the time but agreed to work on the material after EMI contacted him, on the basis that the material would be released as part of a boxset featuring other material.
