Artist: Kayak: mp3 download Genre(s): Rock Kayak's discography: Merlin - Bard Of The Unseen Year: 2003 Tracks: 14 With their instrumental artistry and keyboardist Ton Scherpenzeel's facility at penning lyrics in English, you office be forgiven for mistaking Kayak for a caboodle of cagy proggers from London. But this Dutch stripe began in 1968 in the metropolis of Hilversun, where Schenpenzeel and drummer Pim Koopman accompanied a music conservatoire. After the win of guitar player Johan Slager, bassist Cees caravan Leeuwen, and vocalizer Max Werner, the group solidified by 1972 and commenced transcription. Stylisically they featured the instrumentality and chops of progressive acts of the Apostles like Yes and Genesis, just the pop birdcall structures of Supertramp and the Alan Parsons Project; as time passed they progressively favorite the pop side of the equation. Royal Bed Bouncer, the most regular balance 'tween these deuce styles, was to be a commercial and esthetic high compass point for the dance band. They continued to converge with minor success end-to-end the mid-seventies on a form of record labels, and in 1974 toured in financial support of Queen-a move that influenced the smell of their afterwards work. Like to the highest degree progressive bands, Kayak never had a atrociously stable card; at unitary gunpoint they went through three bassists in as many long time. With Scherpenzeel as the sole unvarying, Kayak's first lineup as well proved to be their finest; just Koopman's bronchial asthma forced him to retire in 1976, and Werner was so tortured by leg fearfulness and unwarranted doubts over his singing ability that he demanded the vacated metal drum chair for himself, departure the vocals duties to new phallus Edward Reekers. Scherpenzeel's fundamental character in the lot finally wore on the others, and Kayak fell apart in 1980. Scherpenzeel continued on to crop with the English stripe Camel and now composes in the first place for the theatre. Koopman and Reekers work in music production and carrying out; Werner left the leg to become a postal worker, and van Leeuwen has become-of all things -- a striking lawyer. The stripe reunited in 1997 for a Dutch TV special, though no new recordings take even emerged. |
