Despite the language overlap and geographic closeness between the Netherlands and Flanders, releases are timed completely differently. Which is good for business, at least on the short term.
Belgians also have a better taste in music...
dEUS is the first Belgian band in here. They emerged during the mid-nineties making a crazy kind of stop-go jazz infused rock music. See Suds & Soda, Hotellounge and Theme From Turnpike, which opened as a short for Trainspotting in many European countries. Towards the end of the ninetees they mellowed out a bit. The Architect is quite catchy and still manages to be smart.
Moby seems to have been released a bit late in Flanders, but he's gotten the highest position here so far. The song has a great video. Otherwise I don't really know what the point of it is. If you put the nice enough singing aside it's really the same stuff Moby has been doing for ages.
Katerine is a Belgian starlet who won one of these teevee casting shows once. The song has OK production, but she's singing too much, which ruins it.
Sandrine entered that song for Eurovision but it did not get through. She's doing fine in the charts as a consolation. The Same Way is aiming to be Amy Winehouse-like but it ends up being closer to Des'ree.
Here's the video for The Architect:
Regarding Moby, I observe the same about Coldplay. *Traitor*, n. A benighted individual who perceives an illusory distinction between serving his nation and abetting the criminals who govern it.
There is no bad here.
