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 doubt. In 10 days you will hear more. Enjoy this newbie's momentum.

To tell you a secret I have something with the number 18. So my thought will mainly be about the fact to create another three Volumes and end with a mother tongue blast. For now check out Volume 14.

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 ...
