An Introduction To Dutch New Wave Volume 11

This time a view days later than the normal Friday. It all has to do with a long weekend spent on Vlieland, one of the Wadden isles. The funny thing is the cover was already choosen before we went on holiday. Funny, yes, since the cover is the harbour service checkpoint of Harlingen, the harbour from which you leave with the ferry to Vlieland.


Vlieland is a beautiful island, with only 1200 inhabitants. the island became famous when the tv series Doctor Deen, the female general practitioner on the island. Three seasons were shot sofar and the recordings for the fourth and last season are planned for 2017. The island only has one village, with de Dorpsstraat as the center of the village.

Okay the tracklist for Volume 11 is:

01. LUL - New Band (1:43)
02. The Two - Reflection In Time (3:38)
03. Cancel - Swamp Children (4:38)
04. Plane Of Section - Hold (5:08)
05. Rite Of Passage - Tumb (4:28)
06. La Danza Moderna - Moments In Time (8:25)
07. La Valse - Winter (3:53)
08. An Ordered Life - Alone (3:54)
09. Geometrya - Lenny Bruce (3:54)
10. Schlaflose Nächte - Flüstern (3:59)
11. Secret Sounds - State Of Sound (3:55)
12. For God's Sake - Dancing In The Dark (3:57)
13. The Gentry - Senses (4:29)
14. Kafblau - Looking For Adventure (3:13)
15. Powerplay - Waste Of Time (2:59)
16. Eton Crop - Yes Please Bob (2:44)
17. The Eternal - Wait (3:33)
18. G.T. Modell - We Won't Let You Down (4:11)
19. Ensemble Pittoresque - The Mouthshut (4:47)
20. The Young Lions - Marie & Jane (1:20)

And you find it here.

So what are the plans. I am thinking to come with another five volumes, including this one, ending this series with an experimental volume 15 like I did with volume 10.

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
