Esta desconhecida banda de Utrecht, na Holanda, foi ativa entre 1983 e a primeira metade da década de '90, especificamente o ano de 1993. Eles faziam um som numa linhagem eletrônica, com influências do New Wave, a música alternativa e o Synthpop. Considero eles como uma banda Synthpop de ótima qualidade e ainda com vocais femininos (ponto a favor!), além de um som totalmente contagiante. :) Eles gravaram um LP homônimo em '86 pela Rosebud Records e em '91 um CD intitulado Contrast pelo selo Barooni Records. O LP de '86 é uma raridade hoje em dia, verdadeiro item de colecionador. Nesses tempos, foram fabricados mais algumas cópias do LP e distribuídas pelos membros da banda, que se esgotaram rapidamente. O tecladista Bert Van De Grift, participou ainda de outros projetos de eletro e techno e, em 2005, morreu aos 41 anos; a vocalista Nicolet Theunissen participou de outros projetos também na 'área eletrônica' (BiNT e Catharina 2.0). Sem dúvida alguma, mais uma banda injustiçada dos 80s de sonoridade forte e peculiar. Destaques para Ite Missa Est, The Experience Of Falling, Rain Disturbs e New Way Out. Ite Missa Est é grandiosa; digo, toda aquelas programações do início que vão se misturando dando uma forma um tanto quanto psicodélica a música, e por fim a belíssima voz etérea da Nicolet. Sem mais rodeios, deliciem este som perdido dos memoráveis anos '80.

>>> This unknown band from Utrecht, Netherlands, was in activity between 1983 and the first half of 90s, specifically the year of '93. They made a eletro sound, with new wave, alternative and synthpop inlfuences. I consider them as a great synthpop band and with female vocals (point in favor!), and a sound totally awesome. :) They recorded a homonimous LP in '86 by Rosebud Records and in '91 a CD called Contrast by the Barooni Records. The LP from '86 is a rarity nowadays, a really collectors item. Some time ago, was made more copies from this LP and distributed by the band members, sold out quickly. The keyboard man Bert Van De Grift participated of other electro/techno projects and passed away in 2005, aged 41; the vocalist Nicolet Theunissen worked with other electro bands (BiNT and Catharina 2.0). With no doubts, one more wronged band from the 80s, with a high and peculiar sound. Listen to Ite Missa Est, The Experience Of Falling and New Way Out. Ite Missa Est is fabulous; I say, all those programming of the synthesizers in the beginning of the song will be mixing and shaping the song, and the icing on the cake: the beautiful ethereal voice of Nicolet. Enjoy this lost sound of the 80s.
