Volume 2 (Distortions/Waterpipe) is in the same mould as its predecessor. Good tracks by The Softs, Symptomes, Het or Met & Zonder are accompanied by the pure rubbish of Willem O.P. Schepper, Erik or Tinus Plotseling for instance. Again, the dutch people will have more fun with the lyrics than the foreign speaker.

This is quite an interesting compilation (Distortions/Waterpipe Records / 1998) with Nederbiet/Garage done in Dutch language. There are some cool songs by Ruud Knolraap & The Sweet Vegetable (what a name!), Fallouts, Clungels or Art Brouwer but also a few throwaway tracks like "Ik Wil Me Donalduckie" or Hugo De Groot's "Ze Nemen Me Eindelijk Mee Haha" (every country seems to have their own version of "They're Coming To Take Me Away"). Perhaps this is more attractive to people who understand the lyrics but also the foreign listener will be satisfied with at least half of the material.

This collection of all the 45's from this The Hague/Netherlands band was released on a 10-inch (Op-Art OAMLP 005 / 2002). They were pretty much a beat group with few garage leanings but their music heads more for early Beatles than for Stones/Pretties. Nevertheless "From Now On" is a great beat song and "Where To Run" their most garage number.

This is by request and not my rip. Zen were from Amsterdam/Netherlands and had a total of ten singles and two LP's between 1967-76. This CD contains their first album "Zen" from 1969 and their 7-inches they made during the sixties (and one from 1970 for sure). The music itself is a strong mix of pop and psychedelia. Great stuff!

This band was the creation of Bob Bouber, ex-vocalist of ZZ & De Maskers. Formerly known as The Mads this Amstedam band released four singles as Het and a final 45 as Het Poco Mania. To promote their first release they went one day to Amsterdam's centre square, placed a bed in the middle of the street and go jump on it. No need to say that the complete band members were arrested by the police. But they caught the attention of the public and "Ik Heb Geen Zin Om Op Te Staan/Alleen Op Het Kerkhof" made the top ten in Netherlands. Three more singles followed, all in a cool garage/mod/r&b style, but success eluded them. The Op Art label released all their output on one 10 inch (Op Art OA-MLP 001 / 2001). Oh yes, and... could anybody tells me what "Heikrekel" means?

Rare, original and hard to get music is the demand of that blog here. If a record is still available through mailorders I won't post it (but I make exceptions if I get the feeling the dealers force up the prices). Enjoy the music and... ...leave comments (or leave me alone).
Volume 2 (Distortions/Waterpipe) is in the same mould as its predecessor. Good tracks by The Softs, Symptomes, Het or Met & Zonder are accompanied by the pure rubbish of Willem O.P.
