Bio:
Beyond The Blue was AOR band from the Netherlands.Only one album "Beyond The Blue" (1990).With the ever versatile Le Bolderdijk on Guitars, bass and keys and Emile Den Tex on all lead and backing vocals, this is pure AOR with smooth vocals and melody in the vein of classic TOTO and BOBBY KIMBALL.Even some hints of THE KOO and FAHRENEIT here.
Album:
Reissued compact disc / SELF-TITLED RELEASE FROM BEYOND THE BLUE / MELODIC ROCK WITH ATMOSPHERIC GUITAR TEXTURES / PRODUCED BY EMILE DEN TEX AND LEX BOLDERDIJK / STRONG EMPHASIS ON CLEAR VOCALS AND LAYERED GUITARS / INDEPENDENTLY RECORDED FOR FULL CREATIVE VE CONTROL / " Beyond The Blue" is the self-titled album from Beyond The Blue, showcasing the band's refined blend of melodic rock with atmospheric, guitar-driven textures. The album highlights clarity, precision, and a strong sense of arrangement without unnecessary ornamentation. The songwriting leans on melody, tone, and emotional weight, while the performances stay direct and focused. With its clean production and cohesive sound, this release defines the band's identity with confidence.BEYOND THE BLUE was a Dutch project formed by session guitarist and songwriter Alex ‘Lex’ Bolderdijk and singer Emile Den Tex. They recorded ‘Beyond The Blue’ with the help of many friends / session musicians, all excellent players.Produced by Bolderdijk and Den Tex, they had the advice of renowned, talented producers Bolland & Bolland (Ferdi & Rob Bolland) whom also did backing vocals.The result is a stupendous album of Lite AOR with Westcoast touches and dynamic rock&pop beats plenty of melody and smooth vocals, all wrapped by a pristine crystal clear production. Think a cocktail of ’80s TOTO, The Koo, Fahrenheit, Street Talk, Deacon Street.For years very hard to find as the CD was distributed in a few European countries, this much sought after album by AOR collectors.Elegant, suit & tie AOR.
