Made in Holland - The Dutch Music Thread (discussion about Dutch songs)

What are you guys post next Vader Abraham, Zangeres zonder naam, BZN or Manke Nelis?

 

This is more like it.. On the same label as Johan and Daryll Ann; Caesar

 

Here, this would be one of my chosen tracks if not.... Well , the rest is history

 

I'm stunned - no-one has mentioned Supersister (or did I miss it ?) - great early seventies prog (canterbury) sound - here's two of their classics

Yes!
Johan is/was an amazing band. I was waiting for a right moment to post one of their videos. As terrific as their first album was, their second one Pergola was even better!

 

I just have to post this, awesome synth pop from Ad Visser + Daniel Sahuleka (from the band Massada).



Fun fact: Ad Visser used custom programmed sequencer software to create his Sobrietas album. The sequencer ran on a DEC PDP-11, which was a mini computer mostly used in factories and industrial automation at that time. The PDP-11 is in the background of the picture.

 

The song itself isn't Dutch, but the amusing intro definitely is:

 

Yes. The first US edition of that LP came with a 7" w/bonus tracks. Still have my WLP that I liberated from the record store I was where I was working at the time.

 

You missed it... big fan... Zappa, soft machine/the canterbury scene in one band.

 

It's on the Lage Landen volume 2 compilation, released yesterday. Available at bol.com ☺

 

Absolutely - should be as famous as Focus ...

 

Perhaps...but one of the more interesting threads going on!

So sorry that I cannot resist the temptation to wreck it some more by mentioning The Beach Boys Holland album.

And now, to listen to some of the stuff posted herein

 

I call him the Dutch Donovan when telling my friends about his records

 

Catchy ska-like Urban Heroes

 

one of the most beautiful songs from recent times, from SHForum member Yorick (also contributed to this thread but of course didn't post his own music). Paul McCartney wishes he could still make 'em like this:

 

she was one of the aforementioned Dolly Dots, but she had some great songs in the late 80's/early 90's, "Pressure" and this one:

 

for lovers of big pompous 70's ballads, Aphrodite's Child style:

 

Very good band, I've seen them a few times. Looks like YouTube take down kicked in.

 

noise rock with a great female singer, this song's correct title is "Sugar Riot"

 

I didn't have that song at my list of 25 Dutch gems which I would like to post, but I should! A great song I forgot.

 

Thank you so much Freek, very honoured to be included!

 

This is my favourite Dutch singer, Ramses Shaffy:
