Great '60s Nederbeat: The Motions - Introduction To The Motions -Their Own Way 1965-66 (2001 Pseudonym Records) Flac & mp3@320

A pretty typical Dutch "beat" group of the 1960s, the Motions were pretty popular in their native land, releasing seven albums and over 27 singles in their eight-year career. Far from the best Dutch group, and far from the worst, most of their hits were fairly ordinary fare, ranging from dippy folkish ballads to tough mod rockers.


Their best cut is the positively ferocious mod stomper "Everything That's Mine" (1966), with a searing feedback break worthy of the early Who. They're really most remembered for their lead guitarist and songwriter, Robby van Leeuwen, who left in 1967 to form Shocking Blue, and penned that group's international smash, "Venus."(R.Unterberger, allmusic.com)


It's a pity that it seems there is not more to say about the band as three words. And i don't remember the band ''really most  for their lead guitarist and songwriter, Robby van Leeuwen, who left in 1967 to form Shocking Blue, and penned that group's international smash, "Venus''."
I remember the band most of their music, here in this collection for instance of their songs from the first album ''Introductions for the Motions' 1965 and the fourth ''Electric Baby'' from 1969. The guys was really a good pop/beat/mod/garage band from the Netherlands. Now i will think about a little of Shocking Blue, lol.


Have fun
