about

"Making music has always been a necessity for me. And it still is… The making of my third CD took a long time again. Why? Like wine, my music has to ripen. And time improves the product." These are the words of Eric van der Heijden in the booklet of his third CD "Cosmic Flight No. 3".

It’s 5 years since his last album, the great "Da Capo". Time has been something that goes well together with Eric’s music. His first album "Universal Time Zone" even bears the concept of time. The Dutchman is an exponent from the so-called "Eindhoven School" (which, of course, is an adaptation of the "Berlin School") together with people like Ron Boots.

Eric composes his music behind a keyboard and doesn’t like working with computers so much. This leads to a style that is melodically, filmy and in some cases symphonic. Listening to his music, every now and then the name of Vangelis comes in mind.
"On The Third Day" and the happy and uplifting "Triode Part 2 Eternal Triangle White Version" are good examples of this.
"Tritonic Waves", with excellent sequences, is also a track that could be used as film music. On 2 tracks his nephew Harold van der Heijden plays drums.
"3rd Life (M.O.R.E. Live 90-3: A Dutch Trio In A German Museum)" is a live recording from days beyond with Harold and Ron.

"Cosmic Flight No. 3" is a great outlet by a fine musician. See you in 5 years?

I adore glimpse, each time it comes on, it just washes over me every time. But the whole album is superb. Admittedly, this is the first time, I have listened to this for some time !! But I do that. You discover something so magical on that initial first listen. And you play it over and over, because it is your newest favourite album! I then go off on another exploration, to see what others, are up too.!! When you come back to it. You just let it bathe you with it's loveliness. Thanks again . Peter Moore
