This is RARE FUCKING SHIT! Please seed til you have a ratio above 1.

This is the first album from Beirut aka Zach Condon, when he was writing under the name "THe Real People". This is a 21 track untitled-songs album.

Like many aspiring musicians, Condon dabbled in cassette demos and solo electronic ponderings before his Beirut days.

"This album has never been released, is not available for sale, and has never been seen or heard by anyone other than a handful of people who have personally received a copy of this record. It pre-dates all of his work with Beirut and does not bear any influence of the Balkan/Eastern Gypsy sound that he has become reknowned and critically acclaimed for; however, it's a highly precocious album that's steeped in amazing melodies draped against a backdrop of synthesized electronica: imagine an entire electronic/experimental album in the style of Scenic World with Zach's distinctive vocals and the occasional appearance of his famous brass instrumentation."

No tracklisting as all tracks are untitled.

Enjoy :-)

I will try to seed as much as possible, but I can only UL about 60 kb/sec, and right now there is about 10 peers or so.
I can seed about 10 hours a day or so, and the total album is 139 MB, so it will take a while.
But please hang on and seed yourself when you have completed the download.
Good night everyone

Fantastic. Thanks for the upload, this music listens easy ^_^.
Do you have any idea in what year this was released? Discogs.com doesn't list this album...

Sorry, should've read better. It wasn't released at all.

I'd heard rumors of its existence after the release of Gulag Orkestrar, and alas, here it is! Thank you so much.

I have a copy of their "Black Session" from French Radio last November I'll try and get up as well.

Ok, I fucked up in naming the French Radio bootleg torrent, forgot to put "Beirut" in the thing. Here is is though. http://thepiratebay.ee/tor/4201694/Bootleg_11_24_07.zip
