Enno Velthuys

A collection of previously unreleased material (between '75 & '90) by Enno Velthuys. Compiled by Hessel Veldman.

"Hello boys and girls, my name is Enno Velthuys and I am the idiot of the group (and also the most intelligent, the most sensitive, the most artistic and he who has to carry the heaviest load, because this boy's luggage, DAMN, it's pretty heavy).

Luckily, I had already been through a lot when I got this ‘knock in the head’. Sex, drugs, lots of rock and roll and a sunny childhood with beautiful views I look back on with nostalgia. Later on I lost my focus and I only thought about one thing: how to get out of it (that damn problem, my shifted reality, my blind spot, that piece of poisoned apple of forbidden knowledge choking my throat)!

But I can't think my way out of it, psychiatrists are just ordinary people, and very heavy pills suppress everything (I'll just take my pills) FLASH!

You ask me what it takes to create music or art that is meaningful and tells a story. It’s hard when you haven't had enough setbacks, nothing more than maybe a little blues. I'm not saying it was the right path, but at least I've come a long way. And now I'm a fish in a pool. Please understand that this is very disturbing. It's not my waterway. A fish belongs in a river.
And my star sign is fish. >))D

See you soon, EnnO"
