The Babys – Anthology 2000


The last CD of the band was released in 1980. It’s a pity the band is really very interesting and their music is very high quality. Many modern bands remind them, but The Babys played this very melodic rock more than 35 years ago.

Beyond The Blue – Beyond The Blue (1990)

Beyond The Blue - ST (front)BEYOND THE BLUE is a project from the Netherlands by session guitarist & producer Le Bolderdijk [Bolland & Bolland, Robbie Valentine, Anouk, etc] and male vocalist (despite the name) Emile Den Tex [Face To Face]. This is a ‘studio’ band, that’s clear from the first note: perfect musicianship and immaculate crisp production are the key on this album. But also the good songs.

The style of BEYOND THE BLUE is elegant Lite AOR + european adult rock & pop + a spice of westcoast. First track “Atlantic Summer” has a TOTO / Chicago vibe all over it, with some horns and floating synths. “More Than Ever Before” is a jewel of a song, a captivating midtempo AOR featuring a great guitar work, subtle & precise. Emile Den Tex has a very smooth voice wi
