De Div came from Delft, The Netherlands and had quite a solid live reputation, although I never saw them play live. In the early days, they sang in dutch. De Div consisted of Art Zaaijer (sax, vocals) Marc de Reus (bass), Michel Schoots (drums), Niek van Slobbe http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif(guitar, synth). Started in 1979, released 'Stap Voor Stap' in 1981. Their sound is funky, not unlike Gang Of Four. They then released 'Europa Is Hier' (LP), 'Pasodoble' (cassette, will follow soon). This 'Open Zee' was produced by Jean Marie Aerts of TC Matic. The band will later on sing in english and stop in 1990.

Thanks for this post. Unfortunately two times "Splits het atoom" and no "Als lemmingen".
i see, well, sorry. i ripped this from a CDR that someone gave me years ago. i don't have the original record, so i am afraid it's not something i can correct. i think the second one is the real 'splits het atoom'. if somebody has the original 'als lemmingen' please let me know (433rpm@gmail.com)

I love this one! Great lyrics: "De kleine sloep was een gewillige prooi voor de kolkend zilte massaaaa"!
Can't wait for the other Div stuff, so far this is all I know.
Thanks, Frank
I have "Europa Is Hier" and always loved the way the singing/lyrics were not so mixed on top of the music like all other dutch music was done. It'd great to hear their other records now aswell!!
Any chance for more posts on de Div? Open Zee deserves a better rip and what about the other albums? I could share some...
If someone still needs 'als lemmingen', I've uploaded it to http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V09PPQ8R
Would you like 'Europa is Hier' and 'Sex Sex Sex' too?

@ Anonymous: many, many thanks for giving us "In Front"! Any chance of getting the rest of "Shaken Not Stirred" up as well? According to Discogs.com, some of the tracks are exclusive versions...
Thanks, P@ndora
Hartelijk dank!!! Hier zoek ik al naar zolang ik internet heb. Open Zee is voor mij nog steeds de beste plaat van vaderlandse bodem. En DE DIV nog steeds de meest boeiende nederlandse band die ik ken (samen met de Claw Boys misschien...)
SUPER, THANX!!!
Marc Brauers
Hartelijk dank! En ook nog van zeer goede kwaliteit, te gek! Ik zoek al een tijdje naar dit album (op CD nog niet verschenen geloof ik), maar met deze MP3-s ben ik helemaal gelukkig...
Walter
Dank je hartelijk! Was al jaren op zoek en nu kan ik weer los gaan![als mijn lijf dat nog wil]Echt de beste nederlandse band ooit!
En na lang tevergeefs zoeken op Spotify kwam ik deze site tegen en kan ik nu weer digitaal luisteren naar deze onsterfelijke band (en binnenkort draaien op een indie dance party!).
Thnx!
