James Nice started LTM as a cassette label, 'Les Temps Modernes', which became a record label proper in 1984. LTM went into hibernation when he relocated to Brussels to join Crépuscule, where he worked on new releases as well as reissues of Crépuscule and Factory Benelux catalogue, and ran his own sublabel, Interior. After several years at Crépuscule and PIAS he revived LTM, and also worked as a lawyer (including representing some Factory artists against
London Records in the mid-1990s). Nice is also the author of
Shadowplayers: The Rise and Fall of Factory Records (2010), and the earlier documentary
Shadowplayers on the same subject (2006). == Artists on the LTM label ==
