An Introduction To Dutch New Wave Volume 14

And so we come to Volume 14. Never thought, when I started this journey that I would get that far and still be able to offer new names with each new Volume that I presented over the months. Again I draw from the marvelous archives of Diggin' Demos and add some new discoveries to the tracklist. Besides that some nice sites have been a great inspiration as well.  So just before the holidays, to Switzerland and Italy, I present you this volume in the ongoing series. I assumed 15 volumes would be enough, since I thought this would tell the story. However, I still discover new names every day with new music, which would be a shame if they were not mentioned in the introduction. I have ten days to think about this. In principle, number 15 is as good as finished and this Volume musically will return to the Volume 10 experience. But there is a need to tell more. Bands who sang in my mother tongue hardly have been discussed, but I've found enough examples of them. So I am in

After a busy week at the office, we moved on the first of June to a new building, finally the vacation ogles. So the best way to start this vacation is presenting a new Volume. This weeks Volume is based around, again, some vynil rips from resent obtained albums and from a fine source discovered on Facebook and YouTube. Diggin' Demos tries to find the stories behind (mainly) Dutch demo tapes. He uploads a demo on YouTube, complete with tracklist and all available information from the tape, and, when present, a link to discogs.com. On his Facebook site he then tries to come up with the story behind the tape, the band and the songs. Not directly from the band, but from people who bought the demo, saw the band or in some way were in contact with the band. The front picture of this Volume is the mill The Mastiff (De Dog) in the village Uitgeest. The tracks: 01. Triple X - Fighting (3:57) 02. André de Saint-Obin - The Human Machine (live) (4:14) 03. Brezneff - No Nukes (4:0

An Introduction To Dutch New Wave Volume 12

Just a quick follow up to Volume 11 of Monday. The picture of this Volume is of Enkhuizen, which shows the Drommedaris. It was the south gate to the city, formerly known as Zuiderpoort (south gate) or Ketenpoort (chain gate). The backbone of this Volume are the vynil rips of albums I bought recently. I already knew that ripping hard to get vynil is fun. But with my new audio corner I created some weeks ago and the software of Audacity this is more fun than ever. For now I make one to one rips, which I don't edit. Let me say I still like the vynil sound of the songs, so a little crack here or there I admire. The Tracks: 01. Duplex Johnson - Cosmetics (4:28) 02. R.T.C. - Oh Little Boy (4:30) 03. Judy Nylon - Old Man (2:20) 04. Bert Barten - Tried To Speak (5:28) 05. Claw Boys Claw - Not Coming Home (4:13) 06. Pee Dee - Drive My Car (4:06) 07. Ego Produkties - Samba (2:26) 08. Bleistift - Eyes Of Children (3:56) 09. The Berlin Wall - Bami (2:33) 10. Dier - Fenz (2:23
