The most famous Belgian of all time.....in Belgium......and nowhere else......is......Eddy Merckz.
For those who don't know, he was a rather successful cyclist.
So naturally there's gonna be at least one Belgian band who are gonna mention him isn't there? Gent band,The Misz, went one further and named a concept album after this last Belgian Hero.
He won the Tour de France a lot, but now Belgians don't win anything.Even the UK wins the Tour de France every year nowadays.Making Eddy Merckz even more legendary.
This album, however, is a quirky minimal synth pop tour of vintage drum machines and whatever cheapo casiotone keyboards they could borrow.There's plenty of experimentation and spontaneity, but somehow the tracks remain coherent without becoming in any way abstract.
Eddy should be proud.
