        Band from the south of the Netherlands (Limburg, Tegelen).
        Typical dutch early 70's sound: jazzy, mainly instrumental with lots of Hammond organ and some flute.
        Sounds a bit like Solution, Supersister and Focus (without guitar).

        I have my own web radio.
        There is a link between the 'Links' in the right column.
        But nobody notices it.
        So here the big announcement.



        I like sounds.
        Don't expect songs or even melody.
        All own recordings.

        Happy floating...

        People could jump on a trampoline and if they reached a curtain height, a melody was played, lights started flashing and a picture was taken.
        The pictures should be send to a system that guys of the VPRO started to develop, now called MMBase, and of course this didn't work (boy, was I piss
