Bergpolder #05 is a special one. A soundtrack for a movie, seen only by the happy few.
The film is made by Maher Al Sabbagh, who is a great cook and an even better lover of life.He asked Rotterdam based musicians Rufus Ketting (the Solo Men Only, de Vogels) and Jeroen Rozendaal (Room 101, de Vogels, the New Earth Group) to make a soundtrack for his personal documentary which had one foot on western ground and the other on arabian. The result is a crazy diverse trip, musically but also spiritually. Totally fitting with the film but also with life at that time in Rotterdam, thanks to the addition of some leftover tracks from that era. Field recordings, found footage, a sitar solo, cool beats: everything fits like a puzzle on this enigmatic record.
