| Tent Before the band went to the studio for the Tent album, they recorded demo versions in their rehearsal place. Many songs have different arragements than the later released versions and in my opinion are better that how they turned up on the album. | Demo 1979 | Dennis 17.10.2004 | download (2501 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) |
| Nothing To Do This is from the same sessions as the Bauhaus Chair demo. It's a beautiful little tune, but would be totally out of place on the New Flat album. | Demo 1980 | Dennis 03.11.2004 | download (1854 kb) |
| The Bauhaus Chair Although released (and rewritten) in 1988, this song was already very old. It went back to the earliest Nits days in 1974-1975. It was decently recorded in 1980 together with a few other very sweet sounding songs for the New Flat album. Along with those other songs it wasn't used. The album would have sounded very different if they had! | Demo 1980 | Dennis 21.10.2004 | download (1347 kb) |
| So Hard To Say No A demo for the Work album, just Henk, an electric piano and a drum machine. | Demo 1981 | Dennis 01.04.2005 | download (3395 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) |
| 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) |
| Nieuwjaarswens Uit China A funny recording the band made for people of their record company. For non-dutch speakers it's not as funny, but the lyrics are a New Year's wish from China with several references to communism and the Great Leader. Henk looks back on 1982 with all their European travels and he mentions at the end that Robert Jan ewill stay with the band. | Demo 1982 | Dennis 12.02.2005 | download (3095 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) |
| Acres Of Tintoretto This is the original arrangement of Acres Of Tintoretto. Most songs from the Kilo album were first recorded in uptempo versions, but this is the only one of which the original version is circulating. In concert the band used to play it similar to this version, it wasn't until 1989 before they played it in the jazzy quiet arrangement. | Demo 1983 | Dennis 19.11.2004 | download (5580 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) |
| 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) |
| Port Of Amsterdam Not too different from the released version, but nice to hear anyway! | Demo 1986 | Dennis 27.03.2005 | download (4345 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) |
| In The Dutch Mountains This is an early studio take of this song. Mostly it's similar to the released version, except that it's a bit slower and it features a very strange intermezzo just before the slow section. Also the return to the fast part is a bit different and the ending is not as it turned out. After the ending there's a bit of another take of the ending. It's nice to hear other samples than 'mountains' and 'buildings' from the same source. | Demo 1987 | Dennis 13.02.2005 | download (4933 kb) |
| Michiel Peters – Magpie This song was released on Michiel's solo album (on the CD only). It was written by Henk Hofstede, who played all the instruments on that version. This demo recording features a different arrangement with the added guitar as the most prominent change. It also features Michiel messing up the lyrics a few times… | Demo 1987/1988 | Dennis 25.10.2004 | download (3162 kb) |
| Rainsongs A very nice unreleased song from the dAdAdA sessions. | Demo 1994 | Dennis 26.03.2005 | download (3580 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) |
| 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) |
| Robinson This is the version of Robinson with the original lyrics, before they had to be 'de-Paul-Simon-ized'. It also is a slightly different mix. This version was played during a radio interview some time before Alankomaat was released. | Demo 1997 | Dennis 09.11.2004 | download (3335 kb) |
