Dutch radio DJ and music critic Mart Smeets reviews our album 'No Time'

We were very happy to learn that Dutch music critic Mart Smeets favourably reviewed 'No Time'.

Marts writes that the songs that make you listen and linger on. He enjoyed a full hour of listening to songs that you knew, but that had been hidden somewhere under layers of your  existence.

New Album 'No Time' released!

November 26th, 2016

Downtown Train - G.O.M.
00:00 / 00:00

Our new  album 'No Time'  is finally here!  It was recorded during the last 5  years in many different locations,
most notably some beautiful serene Vancouver Island hideaways, San Francisco and a 17th century Dutch farm.  Getting our instruments and recording gear to remote BC locations in a 60 yr old 'de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver' float plane was all part of the fun. Recording  timeless songs written by our heroes there was the  unforgettable experience.The album contains contributions from many guest musicians, whose specific talent and skills complemented each song’s atmosphere. Most of them joined us in remote Canadian locations, some sent us their contributions by wire. Lengthy recording material was selected, rejected or cut into pieces, and finally glued together at our studio in a 17th century Dutch farm. All songs were shamelessly chosen for poetic atmosphere and melancholy, in great respect and admiration for their composers and performers.
