Lot of people knows PIETER NOOTEN from many years. He was part of the early line up of CLAN OF XYMOX in the 80´s !!. Pieter and Ronny were playing together in Clan of Xymox during the best period of this legendary band. 4AD was the label were this artist , once he left COX , released an extraordinary album in collaboration with Michael Brook entitled " Sleep with the fishes " wich was very aclaimed for the audience and sold out since years ago . PIETER makes music in a more ambient stile, but with a personal touch , sometimes indie, sometimes dark wave, sometimes in his own and personal visions. With a mix of vocal tracks and instrumentals, Pieter Nooten is a most original and unique artist to emerge in. Lush synth and string atmospherics flow through the entire album, his vocals have a sad, hushed element about them creating a even more emotionally forceful atmosphere. Collected is not only a best of , its a tale about the life of this artist, about his feelings , thoughts and wishes. You will find in this album a delicate treasure. We hope you enjoy this album , a beautiful experience !!!!.
