Plackband biography
Halfway the Seventies the Dutch progrock formation PLACKBAND was founded with this line-up: Kees Bik (vocals, Mellotron), Ronald Brautigam (guitar and vocals), Michel van Wassem (keyboards and vocals), Albert de Keijzer (bass and Moog-pedals) and Tom van der Meulen (drums and percussion). PLACKBAND were 'local heroes' but gradually they became more and more known and PLACKBAND even appeared on the national Dutch radio. Unfortunately musical disputes lead to the demise in '82. Until then they never got the opportunity to record an album, only a single entitled Seventy Warriors/Some Party (from '78, nowadays a collector's item). In 2000 PLACKBAND reunited and released in the original line-up the live-CD The Lost Tapes, including all their best songs. Two years later PLACKBAND released the album After The Battle and a single entitled Remember Forever, including the new title track and the two songs from the single Seventy Warriors. The sound of PLACKBAND is a tribute to mid-GENESIS, very warm, melodic and with strong vocal harmonies, lush keyboards and powerful guitarwork. In 2004 singer Kees Bik was replaced by Karel Messemaker, he knew Ronald and Michel from the Dutch formation NOVEMBER, the successor of PLACKBAND. Full circle!
The live-CD The Lost Tapes is very mid-GENESIS inspired and is based upon strong guitar - and keyboardplay but Ronald integrates a harder-edged sound and Michel showcases at some moments his jazzy background. The compositions are pleasant with many changing climates, the lyrics often have a humoristic undertone. Critical notes concern the not optimal sound quality (but above bootleg level) and the vocals, not everybody is pleased with Kees Bik's voice. I don't mind about the fact that he sounds at some moments a bit powerless because I like his dramatic outbursts, it matches with the music in my opinion. The album After The Battle is a strong progrock album, at an almost un-Dutch professional level! After many rehearsals PLACKBAND re-recorded their best material and some new songs, including a few instrumentals. The CD showcases the skills of Ronald (beautiful twanging guitars and volume pedal along exciting fiery solos) and Michel (from sumptuous choir-Mellotron till nice synth flights and swinging clavinet), supported by the impressive Moog Taurus bass pedals and a solid rhythm-section. After The Battle is a real treat for the mid-GENESIS fans. In fact, this album should have been released in the late Seventies but 'better now than never'!

Об альбоме (сборнике)
PLACKBAND formed in 1977 and had some success in their home country of The Netherlands but broke up in 1982.They reformed in 1999 and released this particular album After The Battle. The Battle opens with gentle guitar and synths before the music stops and we can hear the sounds of war going on.Drums and synths start to take over, and we get some nice guitar 2 1/2 minutes in.More sounds of a battle to end it. After The Battle is the longest track at 11 minutes.Synths build as raw guitar melodies take over until we have a full sound.Synths are prominant.This sounds really good actually.Mellotron samples after 2 1/2 minutes.Vocals arrive for the first time on the record 3 minutes in.Guitar solo 6 1/2 minutes in. Lots of mellotron after 10 minutes as the sound gets heavier,but the most mellotron rolls in to end the song. See The Dwarf opens with drums and synths.Guitar after a minute as drums and vocals follow.More synths later. Sleeping Warriors sounds like orchestral sounds and synths. End Of The Line features nice solid drumming throughout.Vocals a minute in.Mellotron after 3 minutes and the guitar that follows sounds great.Some crazy synths to end it. Death And Lost Glory is less then a minute of what sounds like flute,gentle guitar and synths. Ghost Town opens with a catchy synth/drum melody.Vocals then mellotron that comes and goes. The Hunchback is my favourite track on here.It's a pleasant,mid-paced tune with vocals,drums and synths standing out.Bass 3 minutes in is prominant.Mellotron before 6 minutes.Piano comes in as the melody changes a little.Guitar before 8 minutes.Passionate vocals and mellotron end it. Sign Of The Knife features more orchestration early.Great sound 1 1/2 minutes in as the guitar lets go.Synths then take over as the bass throbs.It gets a little heavy after 5 minutes. There Come The Warlords is mellow to begin with.Some orchestration follows.A heavy beat takes over as synths join in.Marching style drums to end it. I should mention that Andy from PlanetMellotron believes the mellotron on this record are samples.The orchestration passages i believe are also samples.Good album, but nothing special.
