Hi everybody,
Percussionist/vocalist Job Verweijen from The Netherlands checking in. I have been a fan of Special EFX for about 14 years. They finally have a website!!! Please visit it at: www.chielimusic.com There is a lot to see!!!
There's also a message board in the Contact section. I have posted a message on the late George Jinda (God rest his soul). I began playing percussion because of him. I owe the man the finding of my life's mission. Please place reactions on the board there or through my emailaddress. Mucho thanks in advance!!! Any EFX-fans out there? I especially like the older stuff (1982-1993): no programming, more folk and world music-influences, much less smooth jazz. I hope those times will come back. The records of EFX and Chieli have had for the last 8 years too much programming and synthesis, at least for my taste. I just love real, organic, live music without commercial or format considerations. That's why I'm also heavy into jambands (SCI, Phish, Widespread Panic and of course the good old Grateful Dead). Strange hey, listening to that and EFX, Steve Reid, Steve Oliver? Anyway, hope to see reactions on my Jinda-post. Special EFX official website
