| Interview Henk Hofstede part 1 Interview from Henk Hofstede on the Dutch radio 2 on March 24, 2005 about the bring out of the first single ´Yes or No´ of the Nits on March 24, 1977 | Rijswijk, The Netherlands 24.03.2005 | Jasper de Jong 31.03.2005 | download (6765 kb) |
| Different Kitchen This demo shows how Different Kitchen was originally based on the music for Skateboard Boy. | Demo 1980 | Dennis 30.03.2005 | download (2671 kb) |
| Strangers Of the Night A very early version of this song, recorded sometime during the summer of 1987. | Demo 1987 | Dennis 29.03.2005 | download (4491 kb) |
| Dark Room A great pop-song that was played live often between 1981 and 1985, but it was never released on an album. | Demo 1981 | Dennis 28.03.2005 | download (3683 kb) |
| Port Of Amsterdam Not too different from the released version, but nice to hear anyway! | Demo 1986 | Dennis 27.03.2005 | download (4345 kb) |
| Rainsongs A very nice unreleased song from the dAdAdA sessions. | Demo 1994 | Dennis 26.03.2005 | download (3580 kb) |
| Heartache This song was played at all concert of the Kilo tour (late '83 - early '84). This is the studio version and it was very likely recorded for the Kilo album. It's a great example how the album might have sounded if the band wouldn't have rearranged most songs to less poppy, more quiet versions. | Demo 1983 | Dennis 08.03.2005 | download (3194 kb) |
| Mask ReQuest, track 14, disc 1. This version has a lot less surface noise than the recording of Mychael. | Mark 07.03.2005 | download (5053 kb) | |
| June I guess it's a song from the late '80s, but it might also be more recent (Ting period?). It's difficult to judge from the sound of the song. It has a somewhat monotonous backing, but sometimes there are sudden outbursts... I dont know if the last 30 seconds or so are part of the song or if they are from something else. | Demo Probably 1980's | Dennis 07.03.2005 | download (4543 kb) |
| The Painter And The Model A gentle ballad with a typical Henk lyric. The whistling at the end isn\'t that fantastic though.. | Demo mid-late 80's | Dennis 06.03.2005 | download (2706 kb) |
| 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 | Dennis 05.03.2005 | download (3241 kb) |
| Broken Wing A very early version of this song the ended up on Nest. This was probably recorded before the dAdAdA album. | Demo 1994 | Dennis 04.03.2005 | download (3195 kb) |
| Work For Memory A typical Henk song from the Kilo or Adieu period. My best bet would be that it's an outtake from Adieu, Sweet Bahnhof. One little melody that pops up about half way through reminds me of Dapperstreet. Henk's singing is enthusiastic, even though the lyrics don't seem to be completely finished yet. If developed a bit further, this would not have sounded out of place on an official release from that period. | Demo 1983 or 1984 | Dennis 03.03.2005 | download (5454 kb) |
| Tequila It's hard to determine if this is a live or a studio recording. It sounds like an improvised cover version of this famous song. The song is mostly instrumental synth parts over a busy, latin percussion rhythm. Henk shouts 'Tequila' every now and then. Short and funny. | Studio or Live? Late 80's | Dennis 02.03.2005 | download (1304 kb) |
| Lies This song was played at almost all concerts from the late '70s until 1981. It was never released on a record though... | Demo | Dennis 01.03.2005 | download (1937 kb) |
| The Light (instrumental) A version with the lead vocals removed. Not really a demo, but this is the result of me playing around with a sound editing program on the computer. I thought the result was interesting enough to present here. | Demo 1998 | Dennis 18.02.2005 | download (4501 kb) |
| Pitter Patter This was probably recorded for the dAdAdA album, but I'm not 100% sure about this. It's definitely a song from the first half of the '90s. | Demo 1994 | Dennis 17.02.2005 | download (3315 kb) |
| Indoor Painting, Outdoor Sketching A nice alternate version of this song. It's less synth-based and Rob is using bongo's instead of regular drums, which is something unique for this period. This was played at all Work Tour concerts, so it was initially recorded in 1981, the version on Omsk is probably a rerecording from 1982-1983. | Demo 1981 | Dennis 16.02.2005 | download (2403 kb) |
| Master My Moods A beautiful, typical Michiel Peters song. From the sound of it I think it's demo from the Adieu, Sweet Bahnhof period. It sounds a bit similar to some other songs (e.g. Villa Homesick) and maybe that's the reason why it remained unreleased. | Demo 1983/1984 | Dennis 15.02.2005 | download (4531 kb) |
| Loudspeaker A never released song from before the first album. It sounds a lot like The Who to me. It's one of the earliest Nits songs that feature a synthesizer. | Demo 1977 | Dennis 14.02.2005 | download (4866 kb) |
