Ah, into Dutch music now heh ;-) The Mai Tai tracks are also Dutch, but these girls are of the Dutch-Surinam (now independant but most have Dutch pasports and live in Holland ;-) type, so nice South-American soul-disco. American readers must realize that most of this music is called post-disco dance/club music, although in Europe it was still called disco even though there wasn't any brass-section anymore etc. I think it's also called euro-disco but I'm not so sure on the genre-naming around the world. So you shouldn't read "disco" on European websites as the "Saturday Night Fever" kind of music. If you like rock music, the best from Holland is (in my preferred order): Herman Brood & the Wild Romance, Golden Earring, Anouk (very good, current), Brainbox (with Jan Akkerman, who even Eric Clapton etc. call the world's best guitar player!), Cuby & the Blizzards (with Herman Brood playing piano), Ekseption (progressive rock), Shocking Blue (song Venus), Vandenberg (hard rock). This is all with English lyrics, I don't like any Dutch lyrics bands. But if you're into rock, the Ben Liebrand sets are not really what you want. I'm all OT but as it's my thread: Ilse DeLange (Jazz/blues/soul) is *very* popular now with her new album (sold out in the USA already). Mathilde Santing & Rob Hoeke R&B band are/were other good Dutch bands. Most famous Dutch-American artists are Van Halen and Bruce Springsteen. If you're looking for any audiophile-grade releases of Dutch music, ask me because I know most. cheers, Nick. -- DeVerm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DeVerm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18104 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54269 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
