The Unknown Beauty Of The 80's Vol. 81

The past few months have been very hectic. Did a course for the foundation and passed, after a few weeks of intense learning, my Exchange exam. I can call myself MCSE now


So new Volumes were piling up. And Although I was able to give them a good listen, I didn't find the time to put them online. 
The plan is to put up one new Volume each working day this week in anticipation to a whole new Volume of "An Introduction To Dutch New Wave" scheduled for this weekend (I expect to receive a parcel with vinyl tomorrow).

Meanwhile I hope to seduce your ears and minds with the following tracklist:
01. The Quick - Down The Wire (7" vocal) (3:24)

02. Klang - Wailing In The Moonlight (3:27)

03. Madame - Glupi Numer (2:45)
04. Susan Fassbender - Twilight Café (3:17)
05. Simonics - In This Heat (3:25)
06. The Escape Club - Shake For The Sheik (4:02)
07. The Visions - The Ghost (2:19)
08. Telekin - Imagination (3:09)
09. Into A Circle - Inside Out (4:10)
10. Beethoven - My Demise (3:48)
11. Microfilm - Cetrefold (2:40)
12. White Soxx - Versailles (4:17)
13. Shoc Corridor - Almost In Walking Distance (3:19)
14. Private Lives - Because You're Young (2:36)
15. Eric Blake - Born To Be Special (3:19)

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

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
