Notes :
We did an demo session with Staf Verbeeck (who was the live engineer for Romans, Beautiful Babies,... and played keyboards in the Candy Dates). We recorded :"Autumn Colours", "Heardt" (which later became 'Zebra'), "Mary (Marry Me) and "Applegreen". With about 15 minutes recording time left, Ad (Van Beek) asked if we had anything left we wanted to commit to tape. We decided to do a quirky and still unfinished song we wrote a week earlier, "Orange". We didn't think anything special about it, for us it was just another piece of music. I guess some things kick your life into an unexpected gear without you even knowing it...I wonder what would have happened had we decided to go home early and catch the evening news ? Moral of this story : never watch the news.

The bridge isn't meant to be a tribute to the Beatles nor to Pink Floyd.

Try whistling "Ienee-teenee-yellow-polka-dot-bikini".

Orange = fill in the name of a girl you liked but couldn't get.

x always equals something.

 

Check out Thinking Fellars Union Local 282 (try the "I hope it lands"-album), Dump and Virginia Dare's debut album. The Mitsoobishy Jacson song "Sun-of-Aerobics" comes from the brillliant-brilliant-nutterly-brilliant debut album "Nougat in Koblenz". Track it down, buy it and cherish it. Maybe the best Belgian album ever !

And no, I don't play on that album...
