THIS IS ZAAM, Well, the first seminal recordings happened on the eve of being invited to be part of the Anglo-Belgo setup of the legendary High Ones. Recorded in the Long Altar studio on 4-track it is obscure mythical acid folk, but very well accepted at some Dutch-speaking Inuit community! Rare now. _________________________________________
Next step in the ZAAM saga was my trip out of the cave and around the Marsden May Pole (is it still missing?): ACID FOLK. Great diverse album, recorded in the NUB-country kitchen, to liven up your springblues, well worth to seek out for all the Pocket Gods afficionados. _________________________________________
NATURE BEYOND is more of an autumnnesk album made back in the flatness on the river Schelde margins wilst soring high in the air, well it couldn't have been without the main man of the Low Countries and Klappei Studios. Not forgetting the mesmerizing didgiridoo played by Mr. Tom Vervoort. _________________________________________
A first new song has been recorded, 'Riverbend', so far unreleased but out here in space. _________________________________
PS: of late i dare to call myself a Pocket God though they give me no credit, still check out GREEN MAN 1 & 2 !! and then have an Überdramm ;-) ....... Second one just out, but here is the first and better to my liking mix of 'Mermaid'!
Now all is still, Winter winds brings me a scent, of what, where? .................................................................. ................................. .............................. ...and ZAAM has not yet woken from hibernation
......................................................................................................but will one day, beyond the beyond
