Second Life Was First a Belgian Band

According to a list of Belgian bands they released only one album (Who Cares) on Fleet Records in 1980.

However, Gramo has just bought another Second Life album issued in Poland, named Why:


For your entartainment, here is the front cover:

And here is the back cover, where the Polish editor compares Second Life with Dutch rock bands like Livin’ Blues and Pussycat:

UPDATE: Torley’s suggestion was great. So, here are the pics in high resolution, for those of you who’d like to have inworld replicas of Gramo’s Second Life album:

    Yeah, but what about THE MUSIC?? Let’s hear what they sound like!

    …Oh, nevermind.

    @Dan Van Riper: There is going to be an update about that as soon as we find a turntable to play the vinyl on :)

    Judging from titles like Island in the sun (on side A) and When a Man Loves a Woman (on side B), however, they should sound pretty cheesy.

    So Xeni is most probably right, after all :)

    Hahah, The two on the right look like Philip Rosedale and Cory Ondrejka.

    Ah, the days before we had the iconic eye-in-hand. Every successful rockband needs an identity!

    And like Apple, shows how much we’re into music.

    After Baba’s comments, I’m inclined to think someone’s gonna make a Photoshopped cover and distro it as a texture inworld!

    @Baba: looool :) Actualy, the members of Second Life are:

    Walter Ardeel
    Hans Calcoen
    Willy de Cock
    Dirk Daneels
    Dirk Cauwels

    We haven’t got time to google them yet :)

    @Jeska Linden: Gramo thinks “Must.Not.Sell.Album.On.Ebay.’Cause.It’s.Too.Cool” :)

    But we suspect there are still some copies available out there. :)

    @Torley Linden: omg, that’s a great idea; we’ll take some better pics at a bigger resolution and put them on Flickr for everybody to have their own inworld textures.

    @yanush: omule, invidia nu face bine la sanatate; in marea sa bunatate, Gramo s-a gandit sa te scape de chinuri :) asa ca deocamdata, cel putin, n-are rost sa mai incerci sa lasi mesaje pe aici; iti uram insanatosire grabnica!

    I knew Dirk Danneels (guitarist) when i was a kid and he copied me their 1980’s album onto tape once, and believe it or not, it was not that bad at all. They had like 3 phases: first they were, as stated, very much like Dutch bands like Pussycat and sort of Glam-rocky, but their 80’s album was a more ’serious’ effort influenced by bands like Pink Floyd and Alan Parson’s Project… They had a reunion at the end of the 90’s and that was phase 3: FM-rock, not that good at all, very much like Toto…
