* Musea Rec.			Dragon (B,197?)***°?
					Tr.1, "Introduction (insects)" 5 min
Beautiful track with nice keyboards.
Label : http://www.artist-shop.com/musea/
* Private			Wallpaper Poets (B,1998)****
					Tr.1, "Animal in the machine" 7 min
					Tr.2, "Try to scare me" 5 min
					Tr.3, "Drill" 10 min
Incredibly good, strongly structured progressive symphonic rock with female singer. One of 
the best if not only Flemish example in this genre. Gerd acclaims it only has a demo quality, 
but this it still is very fine.
A chosen track by Gerd Willekens to show his (new) influences :
* Sony Music			Joe Jackson : Heaven and Hell (UK,1997)?
					Tr.4, "Tuzla"
Has a "modern" symphonic arrangement, in the same way the new Wallpaper Poets group is 
heading to.
Another chosen track by Gerd Willekens :
* Real World			Peter Gabriel : Up (UK,2002)?
					Tr.9, "Signal to Noise" 5 ? min 
It's clear Peter Gabriel continued to explore his music. The studio drummer Manu Gatche is 
incredible. The contributions of real world musicians is perfect. Here we hear Nusrat Fateh 
Alli Khan on one of his last contributions, and I think some Burundi drummers.
* Musea Rec.			Mindgames : International Daylight (B,2002)***
Tr.4, "Beggars Breakfast" 3 min
Prerecorded interview with Bart Schram, Mindgames : 11 min
* Musea Rec.			Mindgames : International Daylight (B,2002)***
Tr.7, "Selling the moon" : 18 min
Symphonic rock with a certain amount of attention to melodic part.
* Foxtrot Rec.			Flower Kings : Retropolis (Sw,1996)***
					Tr.2, "Retropolis" 12 min
One of the strongest influences from Mindgames : melodic symphonic rock with Genesis 
touch. This is the strongest track I know from them. Very well produced, with filmic parts, 
very dynamic.

* private			Wallpaper Poets : The Other Side of Maybe (B,2003)**
					Tr.7,8,9,11,12 : The other site of maybe suite 30 min
One part has been left out due to time limitations. This has a more modern sound. On good 
equipment the suite sounds still very good. More modern, less progressive. With more studio 
individuality.
* private			Wallpaper Poets : The Other Side of Maybe (B,2003)**
					Tr.3, "Something Strange about today" 5 min
This track, more modern arrangements was added because of Gerd's request.
* Groove			Frank Van Bogaert : Human (B,2000?)?
Known from Belgium group 1000 O : and their hit in new wave style "A.G.N.E.S." Frank, 
from Aartselaar makes now electronic music.
