ADRIAN BORLAND - THE AMSTERDAM TAPES
[2006]

During the summer of 1992 Citizens member Victor Heeremans and Bart van Poppel recorded 14 songs with the late Adrian Borland on an 8-track recorder in Bart's home-studio in Amsterdam. They worked with programmed drums and bass because the recordings were intended as demos in the first place. After Play It Again Sam rejected to release this album, the tapes ended up on the shelf where they remained for about ten years.

But when Bart recenty transfered the analogue material to a digital format he discovered that these songs were just hidden treasures which only sounded a little back-dated because of the programmed stuff. He decided to replace the machines by a real rhythm-section and to add some guitars and other instruments like vibes, celeste and cello. Everybody who's involved including Robert Borland, Adrians father, is very enthusiastic about the project and right now the album has been finished.
