Best Dutch Italo ? (Page 1 of 3)

x-ray connection's 'shoot' is a real gem, its only an lp track.
chaplin band's il veliero, especially that 12 minute ''nothing happens for 8 minutes'' 12" version is sooo good. but the rest by them is crap..
mistral's jamie and starship 109 are also superb, too bad they only recorded a few more 7".. but thats not really italo.. they had 2 of hollands best musicians: rick van der linden (exception) and robbie van leeuwen (shocking blue).

a lot of this dutch stuff (x-ray connection, digital emotion, master genius, etc etc) is credited by adams & fleisner, a pseudonym for a production team called cat music. they started in the 70's as a glam rock band, but then started a production company that did anything that was popular, including italo/ hi nrg at the time. but they also did crappy mainstream pop, dutch schlagers, smurf songs and are responsible for Rubberen Robbie, taking the piss ot of dutch pop songs. they lived in a commune in a flat not far from my uncle's house in leiden (in de merenwijk).. their cat music studio in rijnsaterwoude still exists today..

Yeah, Adams & Fleisner recalls loads of memories...
Personally i think its interesting to dig into the Dutch treasure trunk now and then, OK, its not Italo, but re-discovering stuff like Mai Tai, Fox the Fox etc. from the same era and with its own unique character.... Not to forget Michael Van der Kuy who is probably a chapter himself along with Erik van Vliet, Rob van Eijk, Huib Shippers and Edwin van der Laag...

amazing info there, always wondered who the hell they were and why it was so hard to find anything out about them - cheers!!

LOL Vanessa...& Mai Tai

This euphemistic classification urge for "italo" is really getting too far guys

Maybe its "cult" in australia but really this is the bottom of the barrel even "True Italo" people didn't listen to that shit

Tros kompas disco van de bovenste plank getverdemme

Then we can make the list even bigger with "treasures" such as:

Anita Meijer - Why tell my why http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTBUGSQg … p;index=24

Or maybe LUV as ingenius proto - italo cosmic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EieCc7TYkOs (cosmic italo dude to another one "yooo mannn check out that bassss"  yeahh man i am going to make an edit duuuude"

Yeah it's quite a rip off. I think it's also the Cat team that's behind this somehow.

we kunnen deze troep gaan hypen, misschien valt er wat te verdienen

haha, please leave alf out of it, he just doesn't now

no nedertalo, but just for the fun of it
