Langestraat, Ronald

Apollo

'Apollo' is a compilation of an 'Apollo Hotel' CD box, that Ronald Langestraat made himself, for family and friends. From 1986 until 1992, Ronald had a residency in the lounge of Amsterdam's Apollo Hotel, playing there five days a week. In 1991, throughout several sessions, he recorded his performances on a cassette recorder. The recordings were ranging from re-interpreted cover versions to multiple own compositions. Listening to the album, one must wonder how some of this music would fit in a 5-star hotel lounge. Lounge sounds meet drum computer rhythms, punchy basslines, distorted space noises, re-occurring clarinet interludes and improvised piano solos.
