Since School is cool won last year's Humo's Rock Rally and the won the People's Choice Award at Frappantpop I thought it would be nice to link them to a Rock Rally People's Choice Award winner. It would be most easy to just choose the award winner from last year as well but then I'm more fan of Madensuyu. They won the award back in 2004. Especially since they also ended third in their first ever music contest the link is absolutely perfect.
Madensuyu is a two people band formed by Stijn De Gezelle on guitar and PJ Vervondel on drums. Only two instruments make great music and even Arno, one of the greatest Belgian performers, once declared his infinite love for their music. Their first EP was released back in 2005 and was called Adjust We. It contained only four songs at first. On their debut album which followed a year after Adjust We they added five extra tracks. Together with the original four it formed their first album A Field Between. D is Done, their second album came two years later continuing their post-rock music style of playing music
.
The track I listed is a piece of music I discovered while watching a Belgian movie. On that same track list you'll find many more pieces of artwork and one of these you'll discover as number 21 in my list. If you can't wait you can try and figure out which movie it is and take a sneak peak at the tracklist but patience will be rewarded.
Oh, Madensuyu seems like a strange name for a band right? Actually it's a Turkish word and it means mineral water.
