The Triffids - Trick of the light
Life Version
Album Version (Calenture)
I didn't know this group, until the legendary music journalist Marc Mijlemans wrote his also legendary review of 'Born Sandy Devotional' in Humo.
A few days after reading all this praise I went out to buy the record. I was not such a big fan of the A-side, but absolutely loved the B-side. That one contains the extremely beautiful songs 'Stolen Property' and (specially) 'Tender is the night'.
There is a morbid touch about Mijlemans and 'The Triffids': the journalist died at a very young age of cancer, after losing his wife a short time before that. The singer of The Triffids hit a tree with his car, and died early too. So the writer and singer are immortal thanks to eachother (The Triffids were never big outside of Belgium).
