Camino del Sol
The title track, Isabelle's desperate vacation.
Antena, from Camino del Sol (1982)
It is the title track, 3:42 on the Numero reissue, recorded in Brussels at LBO Studio by Gilles Martin and self-produced by the band; no source we found credits a writer. Powaga called it a desperate vacation, in Numero's telling, and Resident Advisor describes a dreamy synth piece in which she switches between English and French to portray an idyllic Florida resort, with a hint of melancholy; Numero adds birdsong and a cold synth break. Crepuscule and Mojo describe the opening of the mini-album as sparse.
Alfredo included it on The Original Sound of Ibiza, Joakim reworked it on Permanent Vacation in 2007, and Pete Tong opened his Pure Pacha compilation (2007) with it. It was played on the October 1982 tour, with live versions from Tielt on October 8 and Brussels on October 5 on the 2013 Crepuscule bonus disc, and on the 2005 US tour. We found no setlist.fm entries, chart, video or covers, and cannot say whether our upload is the original or a remaster.
