NITS " Quest " (Netherlands, 1995)

 

QUEST is a rare-material (b-sides, alternative takes, unreleased tracks) bonus disc included in the limited box-set edition of their 1995 best of, "NEST". To tell the truth, it holds no great unknowns, no surprises -it's mainly for the devotees. What it says, more or less, is what you 've already known from the proper albums of NITS:  One and only dutch band back in '80-'90 was able to lay the bridge between avant art and the wide pop audiences so enduringly.

Many thanks! I've been looking for this compilation for years ... if you have any of the more recent B-sides by The Nits, I sure would like to see them online sometime (preferably at 320 kbps).
