This is both a live album and a studio album. Tales of the Unexpected consisting four studio recordings on side one and four live performances on side two. There are great covers of the Beatles' "Norwegian Wood" and Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" but his own compositions are very good too.

Femme Fatale was an American hard rock band fronted by rockchick Lorraine Lewis. They were active from 1987 till 1990 and managed to release one studio album only before disbanding. The band's self-titled debut album, released in 1988, peaked at #141 on the Billboard 200 the following year. MTV gave heavy airplay to the videos for "Waiting for the Big One" and "Falling in and out of Love". LP and CD are both very hard to find and when you find one in mint condition you have to pay about $150,00

Ad Visser - Sobriëtas


Vinyl rip, 320 kbbs
©1982 CBS 85990
-
This is the original release from 1982. The album is the companion of the book "Sobriëtas" wich Ad Visser released that same year. Don't expect Tinklebell to ring a bell when you have to turn a page though. The synthesizer based tracks are more like an OST. The song Giddiyap a Gogo sung by Daniel Saluheka was a big hit in the Netherlands.
-
I've tried to eliminate as many ticks, clicks and scratches as possible but couldn't get it better than this. Played the record too many times.

Tracklisting: Overture In "S" (4:28) / March Of Hope (4:50) / Delicate Balance (3:30) / Nostalgia For Earth (8:48) / Giddyap A Gogo (4:50) / Relief Of Demorzan (5:28) / Adventure (Restless Breed) (4:44) / A Last Farewell (4:00)

Ad Visser, Pushkar & Kim Menzer
The Sound Of Blue

CD D.D.D. rip, 320Kbps
©1988 Blue Eyes CBE 4787
-
In 1988 Ad did performance on the RAI Media mess, Amsterdam to promote Blaupunkt and himself. This project was named "The Talkinghead Experience" and had a, for that time, inmensive lasershow. For audio comment he used projectors to give life to a big (3 or 4 metres) three dimensional head. All very impressive. You could buy the music right there as a souvenir. Along the Ad Visser track there were two Pushkar and one Kim Menzer tracks. Everytime I hear Pushkar's "Rainbow Dance" I think of coffee. Maybe he was drugged by Nescafé.
-
No hits but fine synthesiser/new age music. If you like Kitaro, Gandalf or Michael Garrison you probably gonna like this too.

Fred Neil
Do You Ever Think Of Me?

©1966/1967 Rev-Ola
320 Kbps CD Rip
-
DO YOU EVER THINK OF ME is a nicely packaged reissue of 1960s folk-rock legend Fred Neil's two albums for Capitol Records, 1966's FRED NEIL and 1967's SESSIONS. FRED NEIL was a more pop-oriented work than Neil's strictly acoustic 1965 debut, with producer Nik Venet adding a fuller, electrified folk-rock sound. It contains his two most famous songs, "The Dolphins" and "Everybody's Talkin'," the latter of which Harry Nilsson turned into a worldwide hit in 1969. The altogether different SESSIONS, true to its title, consists of seven live-in-the-studio jams, complete with lengthy acid-raga soloing and unedited studio-floor banter. The combination of the brightly polished folk-pop classic and its woozy, stoned-sounding follow-up neatly encapsulates both sides of Fred Neil's stormy, idiosyncratic musical personality.

Tower
Titan

320 Kbps Vinyl Rip

Symphonic Powerrock from the Netherlands. The band had a big hit in Holland with "See You Tonight" and a minor hit with "Goin' Home". The vocals from Marian Pijnaker are increddible strong and the orchestration from Dick Bakker and Hans Hollestelle are ELO-esque. Most of the album written by Catmusic who are famous of their own but under other names (Catapult, Woodpeckers from Space, Videokids, Monotones & the Surfers just to name a few).
-
The album was quite succesfull but a second album was never recorded. Tower disbanded and Marian Pijnaker (vocals) and Cor van der Hoogt (Guitar & Vocals) continued as Split Decision. They released one single "Action" [download] but could not reproduce the succes of tower.

Fred van Zegveld
Hammond Organ Dynamite

©1969 Basart Park LBP 3006
320 Kbps Vinyl Rip

Fred van Zegveld became known as the organ player of a charting Beatlesque group called Roek Williams & The Fighting Cats, though they changed their name into Roek's Family on the day Fred joined them in 1968, ready for their biggest hit Get Yourself A Ticket in '69.
-
1969 must have been a busy year for him, because Van Zegveld was also a member of a group called The Flood that year, together with two musicians that also played in Roek Williams's group: Richard de Bois on bass (who became a top producer ten years later, for amongst others The Dolly Dots) and Will Luikinga on sax and flute (who became a famous dj on Radio Veronica afterwards).
-
Van Zegveld's only solo album "Dynamite" shows his love for Booker T & The MG's, Jimmy Smith and such, though most of the tracks on it are his own compositions. Van Zegveld, who is still active as a musician today, doesn't even own a proper copy of his album anymore, and if he wants to buy one on eBay, he has to pay at least 300 dollars!

Joep Bruijnjé's work is famous without being famous himself. He wrote songs for "La Grande Parade", a project from Henk Hofstede (Nits) and he wrote many songs for Jiskefet (Dutch comedy) including the leader.

Talking Heads, Michael Jackson, XTC, Phil Collins, Herman Brood, Billy Joel, Prince, The Police, The Cure, Robert Fripp, Simple Minds and U2 are all being photographed by Joep.
