Biografia:

Atraente banda "beat" tipicamente holandesa dos anos 1960, a Motions era bastante popular em sua terra natal, tendo lançado sete álbuns e mais de 27 singles em seus oito anos de carreira.

Longe dos melhores grupos holandeses, mas distante também dos piores, a maioria dos sucessos da banda não tinha nada de excepcional, variando de baladas tradicionais exóticas a vigorosas canções roqueiras mod. Sua melhor canção é a positivamente energética "Everything That's Mine", de 1966, com uma abrasadora série de feedbacks digna da Who. O grupo, porém, é mais conhecido por ter abrigado o guitarrista e compositor Robby van Leeuwen, que o deixou em 1967 para formar a Shocking Blue e compor o grande sucesso internacional "Venus" (Richie Unterberger, AllMusic; tradução livre do inglês).

Biografia/Resenha:

Despreocupada em salientar seu virtuosismo instrumental, a britânica Parlour Band tocava rock progressivo harmonioso e bem produzido, com uma atmosfera aprazível e bucólica, mas profissional. 

Os vocais não se afiguram excessivos e as composições, embora não excepcionais, são refinadas. Ressalva-se a suíte "Home", criativa e finalizando o álbum de forma majestosa. Decididamente, "Is A Friend?" deve ser incluído em qualquer seleção dos melhores discos do rock progressivo.

Pix e os irmãos Anders formaram depois "A Band Called O", que lançou vários e populares álbuns de rock entre a metade e o término dos anos 70, saindo-se razoavelmente bem-sucedida – no período abrangido por este livro citam-se "Oasis", de 1975, e "Within Reach", de 1976. Aliás, Pix é o prenome de Pix Pickford (Vernon Joynson, in The Tapestry of Delights - The Comprehensive Guide to British Music of the Beat, R&B, Psychedelic and Progressive Eras 1963-1976. Telford: Borderline Productions, 2006, p. 1110; tradução livre do inglês).
