Limburg
This is a weird one.. The lyrics, which are often hard to understand, are about the Dutch province Limburg, but the song is completely sung and played in Arabian style. It features a girl singing the main lyrics and a men's choir singing the chorus. The music is based on a busy drum computer-like rhythm and many layered Arabian synth melodies. Lyrics include the lines 'Eikenhout is eikenhout. eikenhout is hout' (Oakwood is oakwood. Oakwood is wood) and 'Limburg mijn Vaderland' (Limburg is my Fatherland). Even though the synths sound like Robert Jan, if it wasn't on a tape full of other Nits demos I wouldn't think this was actually a Nits song..
Demo
Probably 1980's

Henk Hofstede - Imagine
Recorded during Henk's solo tour of 2004-2005. Henk decided on the morning of the concert to play this song and downloaded the lyrics from the internet. The version is not perfect, but it's great to hear Henk sing this classic John Lennon song.

Henk, Arwen & Titia – Crime & Punishment
Arwen and Titia were both in Den Bosch in on the day Henk had his solo performance there. They met and decided to do one song together. Henk dedicated it to Theo van Gogh, the Dutch movie maker who was murdered the day before almost right in front of Henk's house in Amsterdam. This song definitely is a flash-back to Wool-period Nits! Audience recording.

Stips – Walter And Conny
Recorded during Robert Jan's 1999 Greyhound Tour. He played a few older songs, including this hectic version of this Nits classic. His band consisted of Mark Boon on electric guitar, Judith Sijp on cello and Robert Jan himself on keyboards and drum machines. A unique combination of instruments! Audience recording.

I Don't Really Know
This often was the last song during concerts of the Kilo Tour. I think it's an unreleased Nits tune. During the Kilo period they recorded several uptempo songs, some of those were rearranged to slower versions for the album and some remained unreleased, this is probably one of the unreleased ones. The title is uncertain.

Henk Hofstede – Two Skaters
This was recorded very recently during Henk's solo-tour. This is an amazing piano-version of Two Skaters, one of the many stripped down Nits songs he plays in this tour. If you have a chance go see him before the tour ends in may 2005! Audience recording.

Avec Une Aile Cassée
In 1995 Nits recorded a French version of Broken Wing with French singer Kent. This was released in France on single and on the Nest album. At a live radio concert in the Netherlands they played this version (without Kent). It's not only rare because it's a french version, it's also one of the few times they played the song in a fast version. Later they rearranged it with slower music and eventually dropped the song completely from cocnerts, because they were unhappy with that version as well in the end.

When Henk wondered aloud which song they were playing next, it was the oportunity for the audience to shout requests. Henk picked up on two of the titles, and they merged them seamlessly into one beautiful impromptu.
