Perseverance Kills Our Game
Originally released in a tiny run of 500 copies (mainly meant for family and friends) in 1979, here's a remastered reissue of a genuine progressive/psychedelic folkrock masterpiece from Holland. The band used acoustic and electric guitars (at times with fuzz), bass, drums, flute, piano and sparse vocals (in English), resulting in songs that ranged from delicate to haunting to fierce. Despite being a low-budget project, recorded in a single day, it's a stunning work, sounding like Fairport Convention jamming with early Ash Ra Tempel. This first ever reissue, done in cooperation with the original band members, comes with a booklet featuring rare photos and liner notes by psych-connoisseur/journalist Richard Allen.
