Robert Jan Stips - Greyhound

The cd player in my car is broken and had been for a couple of weeks. It won't eject the disc. I'm still enjoying to the cd that's in the player. Robert Jan Stips is a musical hero and 'Greyhound' is one of the best things he's done.

Boudewijn de Groot – Nact en Ontij

I’ve been listening to this for the first time in a few years tonight. It’s an essential album for me. One that I return to again and again and again since first hearing it in an attic in den Haag seven years ago.
Although it would be next to impossibble for me to decided on a list of all time top ten albums, ‘Nact en Ontij' would be on it.
