dutch pop band teach-in, like a lot of europop from the era, probably eluded capture here in the u.s. it's a shame. it's some wild shit! a lot of it is crying for a good edit*, though. take "greenpeace." perfect example. nice and funky slow groove complete with orchestral swells and beach sounds. of course the tune gets cringe-inducingly literal ("oh. 'greenpeace.' i get it," you'll say.) as it goes, and that chorus goes places you really wish it wouldn't, and that poor (dutch)man's joe cocker strikes out on his own there, and...well. yow. but cut out that shit and you've got yourself a tune that just missed making the quiet village cut. so it goes for most of these tunes, but there's plenty of good sounds happening.
*i'm currently working up a crydamoure style ripping** edit meself, so back off "the robot"!
** i'm actually a bit concerned that they already did this one! or i'm amazed if they didn't. it's that obvious!
also, let's get back to that kongas (see previous post) for a moment. another good jam from that one.
I'm still super disturbed by the lamé-clad gent on the right.
