29 songs recorded live in Amsterdam, Utrecht and Moscow in the winter of 1988-1989. ROB KLOET - drums, HENK HOFSTEDE - vocals, guitar, ROBERT JAN STIPS - keyboards, JOKE GERAETS - double bass.
This is one of those rare live albums where most of the songs actually improve on the
studio versions. The Nits are talented musicians, they use all sorts of instruments and
objects to create the right sound and turn each note into an impression, a laugh or a cry.
This two CD live set from these Dutch art-rockers was recorded on their ‘Hats’ tour and
originally released in 1989. 29 tracks including “Red Tape”, “Adieu Sweet Bahnhof”, “J.O.S.
Days”, “The Dream”, “Nescio”, “Sketches Of Spain” and “In The Dutch Mountains”. The
Nits have kept its high level of exigence in both words and music. They’re a rare band,
they’re one of a kind. |
