Eric van der Heijden almost worked 7 years to complete this 2nd CD: the classic romantically inspired "Da Capo". A lot of personal feelings and moods can be heard throughout the album, it is brought very close to the listener in all its beauty. Don't expect only calm, serene music, because from time to time some heavy rhythms and sequences show up. "Da Capo" sounds full of regained confidence, it's an overwhelming musical statement for the many who are always searching for the best new things in nowadays electronic and contemporary instrumental music.

Musician Eric van der Heijden is a close friend of Ron Boots, who met each other at the Klemdag 1989, which actually was the start of a long-time friendship which lasts until today.
Ron invited Eric at his home and encouraged him to make more music after he had heard Eric's first composition "Time is Running", which was made with the D-50 synthesizer.
Several tracks would follow, which all ended up on the 1990-cassette "Lightning Times", which was officially released on the Eindhoven-based Synteam label (a private label for electronic music founded by Ron Boots and Bas Broekhuis).
Later on, the pieces of the cassette formed the basis for the cd "Universal Time Zone".
Eric's accessible music is overall melodic, warm and full of emotion. It keenly combines engaging sound textures, rhythms and nice sequencing, in which occasionally influences of both Tangerine Dream and Vangelis shine through.
Note: The album was re-released in 1998

"By Popular Demand" is a CD of live performances by Ron Boots, Eric van der Heijden and friends.
The friends are Gerald Vos, Harold van der Heijden, Ad van Gerwen, Bas Broekhuis, Ingrid Lohuis and Klaus Hoffman Hoock.
Some of the selections feature Ron's penchant for live synth trios, others feature synth duets and percussion. The highlight is the cosmic and ethereal "Through Mental Doors." That piece features narration by Louise, Harold's masterful drumming, a synth trio of Ron, Eric and Ad and Ad and Ron on didjeridu!  It is one of the wildest outer space rides imaginable! The massive soundscape is carried by some wild sci-fi manipulations and some overblown sequences. Ron's didg drone sets it up and a synth drone takes it home. The whole album sparkles with energy and giddy zeal. This is a classic example of live electronica and its intention - fun and entertainment!

As follow-up to the highly successful Analogy series (part 1, 2, and 3), Groove Unlimited is now releasing a new sampler.
This time the approach is very different. The idea is to do an album with Dutch EM artists and let them compose music to a painting they like. The album is called 'Dutch Masters' and you will hear music the artists composed to paintings of Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Mondriaan, Escher, Bosch and many more.
Artists that participated are: Ron Boots, Gert Emmens, Eric van der Heijden, Bas Broekhuis, Remy, Synth.nl, Rene Splinter, Meesha, and René van der Wouden. If you want to hear how these artists translate the image of their favorite painting into music get a hold of this album.
