A lot of 'mechanical' bands existed around 1980 in the Netherlands. Sammie's MAM was imho one of the best. More musical and less artificial than the rest. Although a bit dated, Sammie still sounds fresh nowadays.


Vara's Popkaravaan (yes, MAM had to play on a campground, one of those lame ideas Dutch broadcasters come up with during summers)

It reminds me of the Quincy Jones lp Walking in Space: the music ranges from trippy to kitschy.
The recording contains covers of the Beatles and Beach Boys as well.
I wonder how it managed to escape from my attention for 40 years...

About the share:
This is not the happy and cheerful sound Kingsley made in cooperation with Jean-Jacques Perrey. On this record just slow piano pieces or, as he calls it, electronic New Age music. If you listen very carefully, you can sometimes hear bits of Popcorn, although in a much slower tempo.
Not For Sale, as the back cover states.
