Double Exposure


A year after the release of Exposure, Double Exposure was released. This time more bands wanted to anticipate in the concept. So in the end it turned out to be a double vynil album with contributions from England, Spain, Germany, The Netherlands and Italy. Again the concept was to give bands a change, which just had released an album or were in the progress making one. But this time it turned out to be that bigger names were involved.

Ishtar - M'Allegro Molto Vivace
The Bond - Seriously Sibling
Mazlyn Jones - First Light
Heimdal - Somnis
No Man Is An Island Except For The Isle Of Man - Faith's Last Doubt
Anthony Philips - Promenade
Rousseau - Breakfast At Tiffany's
Airspeed - Far Away Screams
Haze - In The End
Plenty - Forest Almost Burning / Sacrifice
Rog Patterson - Party Piece
Galadriel - Summit
Abel Ganz - Dangers Of Strangers
Weirdstone (the old trip) - Circles
Egdon Heath - In The City
Notturno Concertante - Nocturne

Anthony Philips is the best known participant on the album. Guitarist in the first line-up of Genesis, left the band in 1970 and has had a very productive solo career with various styles on a lot of albums. But what to think of The Bond, band of ex Twelfth Night singer Geoff Mann, Abel Ganz again, like of course No Man...
Even the old band of Tim Bowness, Plenty, is featured with a song Forest Almost Burning / Sacrifice, of which the first one turned up on the Girl From Missouri EP in 1989 (see earlier post for the No-Man version).

The contribution of Abel Ganz is from their third tape Dangers of Strangers, which was released some years later on CD by Ugum, and re-released by Witness in 2005. Now the band has a new re-release with bonustrack (the version of Dangers of Strangers from this album) and enhancement (video of making Dangers of Strangers) avialable through their own website. Dutch band Egdon Heath contribued the title track from their first release In The City.

Galadriel, Rousseau and Haze were already established bands in the scene. Rog Patterson tried it on his own this time and bands like Isthar, Weirdstone and Heimdal came up as quick as they disappeared afterwards.

Thanks for the AWESOME exposure samplers!!!
Unfortunately the song of Weirdstone seems to be missing. Track 14 is just the same as track 15+16 together.

Anyway - thanks a lot and keep on posting!

Any chance of reposting this? I used to have this on vinyl. It is the only place you can get "Faith's Last Doubt". In general, this was a killer compilation. If you also can post Exposure that would be welcome too.

Thanks, Bruce

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 ...
