The More You Live, The More You Love

Just back from a great week on Texel. Enjoying a nice atmosphere, the family and the friendly locals. Done a lot, seen a lot and drank a lot. Even within this week of relaxing an family time, I was able to find some new names and finally some albums I was searching for since the start of this project. Unfortunately you, the listener, will have to wait another week, since those bands will be featured on Volume 8 scheduled for next week. The tracklist for this weeks Volume: 01.

This week I reach half the number I have in mind. I think 10 volumes gives a nice idea of what the Dutch music scene was capable of when it comes to New Wave. Volume 5 contains a nice mixture of bands which were not on any volume before and about five which already had their contribution. Concerning the pictures, since I did not give any information when releasing Volume 4. The one of Volume 5 was taken during a January sunset near Uitgeest. This picture of Volume 4 was taken just a couple of weeks ago, when returning back to the Central Station after enjoying the concert of Haevn. It is the weight house on the Nieuwmarkt in Amsterdam. Getting ready for a nice evening of Steve Hackett. Looking forward to hear a mixed set of solo- and Genesis songs. A good start of this Easter weekend. Tracklist: 01. Da Klute - Empty Room (4:39) 02. Duplex Johnson - Double Date (4:00) 03. I Spy - Channels (2:24) 04. Kewi University Of Swing - Girls On Vacation (2:16) 05. Media - Maga...

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 ...
