Duindam, Jan
Thoughts
After cutting his teeth in several rock and folk bands since the late sixties (including Hush, Tail Toddle), Dutch singer/songwriter and master guitarist Jan Duindam released his first solo album in 1978 for the tiny Munich label. With help from local musician Guus Willemse of progressive band Solution, who played bass, drums and synth, Jan created 'Thoughts'. The music here can be described as psychedelic folk-rock/acid-folk with stunning guitar playing and fragile, dreamy vocal harmonies. The album also features 'Happiness And Tears', a track selected by modern neo-folk/indie-rock stars Midlake for their 'Late Night Tales' mix. Comes with remastered sound, including rare photos and detailed liner notes. "Jan crafted a quiet masterpiece that exists in its own soft, reflective realm", says Hugh Dellar.
