Pre-order: Limited to 100 copies only, transferred from the original master tapes

This fourth album differs enormously from the preceding one. The first track ‘Liberator’ is a piece of funk jazz, the second track ‘Easy Man' is mainly fusion jazz, while ‘Bakadyari’ (Backyard) is a combination of salsa, kaseko, fusion and funk. The closing track ‘Woman On The Moon' features funk and Latin. My solo here is played on alto flute, and again Glenn Gaddum Sr. plays some great Fender Rhodes and grand piano. He played all keyboards (Piano, Hohner clavinet, Fender Rhodes, Moog and Roland synthesizers) on this album, while I added the vocoder, vocals and percussion. The strong bottom side of this funky album was made by Eddy Veldman (drums) and Ivor Mitchell (bass), who played together for a long time with Glenn Gaddum Sr. in their wonderful group Solat. The B side opens with ‘Integration', and only on this track my brother Clark Snijders is on drums and Jainul Ketwaru on tabla, with myself playing all other instruments.  

The title track of ‘Quartz' is a jazzy combination of fusion, funk, kaseko, jazzrock, and even  reggae. The final track ‘Mi Gron’ (my native ground, Suriname), is slow kaseko-jazz.
