List Plays Nits

last update: 17-6-03

List Plays Nits is a tribute project by fans for fans of Nits. The contributors are all members of the Nits Internet Mailing List. The participating members of the mailing list all have different backgrounds, varying musical interests and musical qualities. What they do have in common is enthusiasm for Nits music and they all like to let other fans hear how their interpretation of some their favorite songs. There have been three volumes so far. Also, a live project occurred, with fans performing Nits songs at a special Nits fan day.

Rob Kloet's impressions of List Plays Nits:

Dear NITSLIST-players, 
having just finished listening to the remastered tape CD and the volume two CD I must say I'm amazed! First of all by the dedication with which everyone who contributed to these cds worked on  their version of a nitssong. Secondly by the sometimes near perfection some people go for but most of all by the very personal approach of some of the songs. These recordings are full of surprises and very imaginative and colourful idea's. Really lovely. I don't want to comment on any song in particular because that would be unfair to the ones I wouldn't mention. But I want say to you all: Thank you very much  for making these recordings, it is really wonderful and great fun to listen to. Please go on, I'm already looking forward to volume three. I  wish everyone a nice summertime and hope to hear from you soon. 
All the  best, ROB.
