Though they were a product of the beat group age, Group 1850 were the
Netherlands’ first progressive band — in every sense of that word.
Constantly changing, constantly evolving, Group 1850 were musical
extremists on a do-or-die mission to explode all expectations. Sparks
flew, ideas flared, feedback swirled through misty nights, the dead
walked, skeletons danced, flies buzzed, mountains fell, words rained
fire from angry purple skies. Group 1850 raised all kinds of Hell. My
god, were they good!
Although the group made two deservedly revered albums, "Agemo’s Trip to Mother Earth" (1968) and "Paradise Now" (1969), some of their best work can be found on their singles, where their borderline insane hyper-creativity was focused into highly-concentrated, radically potent three-minute songs like Mother No-Head, Misty Night, Zero, We Love Life (Like We Love You), Don’t Let It Be (We Have to Do It Now), and the magnificent Have You Ever Heard.
