More Info

"180g Vinyl Deluxe Sleeve. Classical by Music On Vinyl proudly presents its first release. Wim Mertens has released Struggle For Pleasure in 1983 under the group name Soft Verdict.

Later, it would be released under his own name. Mertens called the music on Struggle For Pleasure 'petite musique de chambre', small chamber music.

The six compositions are topped by "Close Cover" that proved to be a massive single. There are lots of documentaries and films that still use this beautiful arrangement.

While Mertens is strongly influenced by American minimalist composers like Steve Reich and Philip Glass, he adds his ow signature sound to the mix." [label info]
