Originally released on Crepuscule in November 1992 (in Japan and France only), Carpe Diem was recorded with musicians including Marco De Meersman (drums) and Fritz Sundermann (guitar) at Studio Caraibes in Brussels. Isabelle produced the album herself, which has rightly come to be regarded as a milestone. The vibe is chiefly cool jazz, latin and bossa, and complements perfectly Isabelle's warm voice and soft, sensual lyrics, never more so than on Corto Prend le Large and E Preciso Perdoar. Carpe Diem is her personal affirmation of life and music, following the tragic death of her husband and musical partner Dirk Schoufs. The extended 66 minute CD also includes all 10 extra tracks from Isabelle's previous album, Les Derniers Guerriers Romantiques, released in April 1991, and recorded by Isabelle with Dirk Schoufs and a crack team of crack jazz and bossa musicians. Full tracklist: Le Syndrome de Peter Pan, Instant de Trac, L'Amour Eternel, Sous les Beobabs, Deux Enfants, Calife Blues, No Puedo Sin Ti, Il Preciso Perdoar, Corto Prend le Large, Inspire Moi, L'Inconnu Vers L'Infini, Quand les Amants, Jungle Zone, L'Amour Sauvage, Sur Ton Ile, I Love You Mr Hyde, Le Visiteur du Soir, S'en Aller, La Ballade du Seigneur de la Guerre, La Dernier Guerrier Romantique, Dans un Million d'Annees, Aquarius.
"Modern electro-samba, full of latin, bossa and jazz vibes that slot in easily with Antena's smooth, soft voice, complete with ten extra tracks from her previous album

Slightly unusually for the LTM label, this is not an expanded version of the original Carpe Diem album but a pairing of that 1992 album with its immediate predecessor, 1991's Les Derniers Guerriers Romantiques. It's still a worthy release, though, not least because the two albums are tied together by sad circumstances. Les Derniers Guerriers, following in the vein of Isabelle Antena's earlier solo efforts in the '80s, found the singer continuing to enthusiastically explore her own stylish hybrids of worldwide musical styles, with bossa nova, mid-20th century jazz, torch songs and more modern touches -- not to mention a cover of hippie musical standard "Aquarius" -- combined in beautiful fashion. One of the musicians was double-bassist Dirk Schoufs, who had not only become her key collaborator but her personal partner, which fed into the gently celebratory air of the album -- but who tragically died a month after its release. It is in this light that the very appropriately titled Carpe Diem should be seen, both as an affirmation of Antena's determination to live life to the fullest, and as a further pursuit of the synthesis she had made her own over the years. That it starts out with one of her most exuberant and lively songs, the salsa-driven "Le Syndrome de Peter Pan," is enough to show Carpe Diem is not out to simply remember with regret, but to embrace with gusto. The loss of Schoufs is addressed directly via "Corto Prend Le Large," but there are other down moods at points, in other ways, like the delicious bluesjazz confection "Calife Blues." The sheer play in Antena's work is no less buried either -- thus the brief interruption by one Achilles and Penelope with "freestyle intervention" on the doubtless-titled-after-them "Deux Enfants." James Nice's extensive essay on Antena's life and work is, as ever, a fine hallmark of the LTM reissues.
