Alquin

Dutch band Alquin released four studio albums in the early to mid-'70s, initially playing prog-rock influenced by Pink Floyd and Roxy Music. However, by 1975's Nobody Can Wait Forever (the only Alquin album released in the U.S.), the band turned to a more varied style encompassing blues and hard rock. The original group comprised guitarist/vocalist Ferdinand Bakker, vocalist Job Tarenskeen, bassist Hein Mars, drummer Paul Weststrate, and horn player Ronald Ottenhoff; Michel Van Dyke joined the band as lead vocalist in 1975. A live album appeared in 1976, and the best-of Crash! was released a year later. Strangely enough, Bakker and Tarenskeen later played in a punk band (the Meteors) later in the 1970s. ~ John Bush, Rovi
