That time of the year

Now that we are getting closer to the closing of the year, everywhere you can read the top 10 lists of the past year. Of course I could not resist, and created a top ten, which was presented on Facebook in the past days. But this was a compound list of progressive rock and other styles of music.



01. Comedy Of Errors - Disobey
02. Konchordat - The New Crusade
03. Florence And The Machine- Ceremonials
04. Mirrors - Lights And Offerings
05. Also Eden - Think Of The Children!
06. White Lies - Rituals
07. Kate Bush - 50 Words For Snow
08. Thomas Dolby - A Map Of The Floating City
09. Pallas - XXV
10. Gotye - Making Mirrors

Split this list in two and you get the progressive top ten:

01. Comedy Of Errors - Disobey
02. Konchordat - The New Crusade
03. Also Eden - Think Of The Children!
04. Kate Bush - 50 Words For Snow
05. Pallas - XXV
06. Rush - Time Machine
07. Sean Filkins - War And Peace & Other Stories
08. Steven Wilson - Grace For Drowning
09. Yes - Fly From Here
10. Memories Of Machines - Warm Winter

And the top ten normal music:


01. Florence And The Machine- Ceremonials
02. Mirrors - Lights And Offerings
03. White Lies - Rituals
04. Thomas Dolby - A Map Of The Floating City
05. Gotye - Making Mirrors
06. Elbow - Build A Rocket Boys!
07. Snow Patrol - Fallen Empires
08. Coldplay - Mylo Xyloto
09. Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Liverpool (deluxe reissue)
10. Ultravox - Moments From Eden

An Introduction To Dutch New Wave Vol. 32

And that brings us to Volume 32 of An Introduction To Dutch New Wave. This time 65% of the numbers came from recent purchased vinyl. I will keep telling that Discogs has become a major resource for discovering and hunting vinyl from bands and artists, that sometimes released one single only. But since a couple of weeks I am using a great cross reference site called Nederlandse vinylsingles . The guys behind this site are doing a great job, tracking down all Dutch vinyl singles. Some information on several songs. The Kimono track is spelled wrong. I kept it this way, since the cover of the single shows the same title. It’s one of the groups of which I used the single b-side instead of the a-side. The others are Blackout (b-side of Obscure Disco), G.T. Modell (b-side of Scratch Your Act) and Weekend At Waikiki (b-side of The Valley). Frederic And The Flies was a one off project by producer duo Bolland and Bolland. Not only the group name refers to Adam And The Ants, t

A Flock Of Seagulls

Being a fan for many many years I was really surprised the band decided finally, after 25 years, to do an European tour again. I am aware of the fact that it's only Mike Score nowadays who's left of the old line-up. Still I like to see them, because back in 1984 I was unable to visit the famous Noorderligt at Tilburg.

But it was Wishing (if I had a photograph of you) which really turned me into AFOS. Through the years I was able to track down most of their vynil releases. And of course the CD's followed as well. I even became a member of the Airborne Division. With the internet things changed and in 1996 I was able to get a CDR copy of most of the b-sides and rare recordings of AFOS ripped from vynil, which I like to share with you. The recordings are from the period 1982 - 1985 when they had the line-up of: Mike Score
