I'll bring the boxes, you can choose what you like.

another piece of the cleaning part of "the Attic"  ;)
Wooh0oo !
 :spaceace: :spaceace:

So....we had the Neue Deutsche Welle....now it's time for DUTCH power. We kick of with a happy little tune, I'm sure Captain Caveman is going to love this, Vitesse, with Rosalyn:

(damn Etienne, this Youtube clip sounds better than the discs you copied for me, there's some very weird compression of the sound on those :S)
They're a great inspiration though ! :)

Mmmm, best song of Het Goede Doel (=The Good Cause):

http://youtu.be/ZMLHyC8B6mI

Excellent lyrics by Henk Westbroek, Holland's best lyricist in pop music !!! Simple, but brilliant words !

Notice the fake cab in the beginning of the clip, had totally forgotten they used that at Count Down !!!

This is a better sounding version...: http://youtu.be/Z5btqdEtjok

Best song by Toontje Lager: http://youtu.be/CmnZ-17sknI
The instrumental part was used in the TV program about cars "De Heilige Koe" (the holy cow) for YEARS later !

Frank Boeijen....I'm a fan of most of his music. Been to several gigs. He's brilliant, but in the end it got TOO small IMHO (almost one guy with one guitar)...


The next is one of the best Dutch songs ever IMHO... (with harmonica GOD Jean-Toots-Thielmans !!!):
http://youtu.be/T2fV_xAH5xU

....and some lovely slap-bass that is totally missed on this clip ....:S

Better audio:

Damn, how could I forget about this one.

Imagine. It is the summer of 1985. I've got my very first holiday job working at....the Burger King in Rotterdam (Lijnbaan,  they only had 1 then AFAIR).
It's morning, around 10-ish and I enter the restaurant, go down to the clothing rooms to put on my (dreaded) uniform.
In that basement area, there was a club (which I would later frequent) or disco if you want to call it like that right next to where the clothing rooms were.

When I enter the clothing room I hear this song at WHACK full level....they were playing it at the club, which was obviously closed at the time. They did have a really powerful and GREAT sounding system though...
It was the first time I heard it and I was TOTALLY sold, loved it to pieces...and still do. It was sounding SO new in those days...you can't imagine now, but it was definitely "something else" then.... I staid to listen to the entire song.

http://youtu.be/yLhYxLE8uCA

The last part of the instrumental was used in an early Atari ST shooting game....that was also pretty new, sampled music. AFAIR that was the only goo part of that game... :D

Tell me, is it just me or did Journey TOTALLY pass through here in Holland in the 80's ? I know that I don't know a single song by them.... Did they ever score a hit here ?
I think I only heard about the band until I got into this hobby and read about the cab....

Holy crap, almost had forgotten this song, but I think I will officially declare it the Eurocade song !

http://youtu.be/b9xBAtCsCTQ

I mean, Living on video....traveling through Hyperspace....and the whole song SOUNDS like an 80's game :P
It's SO wrong that it is GREAT !

First time I saw this video and it's totally CRAP of course. I mean, only 1 computer and it's a C64 without SID and VIC-2 ;) That one was already old then !


Highly suggested to close your eyes, the sound of this clip is great.

Or simply read along with the lyrics, couldn't fit better with classic arcade video games ! :


Give me light
give me action
at the touch of a button.
Flying through hyper-space
in a computer interface.
Stop - living on video
stop - integrated circuits.
Stop - sur un faisceau de lumieres
stop - is this reality?

Traveling in a light beam
laser rays and purple skies.
In a computer fairyland
it is a dream you bring to life.
Stop - living on video
stop - integrated circuits. . . .
Living on video - sur un faisceau de lumieres

I see your glitterring blue eyes
you look at me with a smile.
It's a computer fantasy
it is waiting for you and me.
Living - living on video
living - living on video

Living - living on video
living - living on video - stop. . . .
