An Introduction To Dutch New Wave Vol. 31



And so, a bit by surprise, DHL delivered the vinyl yesterday around noon, just when we were about to leave for a visit to Bergen (Noord-Holland). after returning from Bergen, I went straight up and ripped the vinyl. This afternoon I worked on this new Volume, of which most of the songs were arranged already. Some switching here, some changing there and even some re-recording, which in the end resulted in this track list:



01. Toilets - Unspoiled Land (3:40)
02. Bert Barten - Hold On You (3:00)
03. Check The Computer - 1985 (6:51)
04. Spivs - Visions Like Echoes (4:08)
05. Tool & Die - Girl's Song (3:33)
06. Non Alignment Pact - Oceans & Islands (3:08)
07. The Monotones - Mono (3:25)
08. Switch Bitch - Data (3:55)
09. Labyrinth - Help Me Out (3:22)
10. La Danza Moderna - Moments In Time (7") (3:45)
11. Rite De Passage - Armegeddon (3:52)
12. Blue Suit Grey Tie - Open Windows (4:35)
13. Bombitas - Stay In My Life (3:32)
14. Modern Complex - Amusement Park (live) (5:08)
15. Byte - Modern People (5:29)
16. World's End - Spy In Rome (2:59)
17. Niki Roman - More Than A Name (3:21)
18. MAM - Pajti Pajti (3:42)
19. Circus Of Habits - Reflections (live) (5:21)
20. Transister - Steady As A Rock (2:53)

Listen here

Some of the names were featured before, and MAM is becoming a regular feature simply because I am starting to love this band. Their track Pajti Pajti reminds me a lot of XTC.
The intro of World's End reminds me a bit of Killing Joke's A Love Like Blood
It is not a surprise that the sound of Transister, written by Robert Jan Stips, sounds like (The) Nits.
The Bombitas were the former background singers of Herman Brood.

The picture was taken in Bergen and shows the ruin church in the center of the village..
