An Introduction To Dutch New Wave Volume 4



Just another week past. Besides the normal 40 hours working week, it was a rollorcoaster week concerning the Music.

On 28 March I was, with friends, at the last concert of the ARW tour at the Vredenburg theater in Utrecht. A great sold out show of veterans Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin and Rick Wakeman accompanied by Lee Pomeroy and Louis Molino III.


On Sunday my wife and I saw Haevn, a band known for their music in BMW commercials at the beautiful Koninklijk Theater Carré. A sold out show again with most music never heard before.


And than on Wednesday followed the music of Clock Opera, the band of Guy Connelly, in the small lounge of Paradiso.


If this wasn't enough, finally I received my first review promo's with only a near three weeks to go until the deadline. Albums of JPL (Le Livre Blanc), Magenta (We Are Legend) and Citizen Cain's Stewart Bell (The Antichamber Of Being (part 2) Stories From the Antichamber).

At last finished an interview with Alan Reed, on his new album Honey On The Razors Edge, an article on the album Fact And Fiction by Twelfth Night and sent my questions to Christina Booth, the vocalist of Magenta.

And of course the highlight of the week working on the new Volume(s). As promised last time, this new one contains a mix of already featured bands (now that I see it again, only one) and new found bands from the list. This list was featured at the end of January on the Facebook site of Dutch New Wave 1977-1988. Meanwhile the original list has grown longer and contains roughly 180 names.

So this fourth compilation contains another 20 names and are here to enjoy again.

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. On 09-09-09 A Flock Of Seagulls will play the well known Paradiso theatre in Amsterdam. I became an instant fan of the four when I heard I Ran on the radio. 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
