Gare Du Nord Kicked Off Early 2001 When Producers Doc Lancee Ferdi & Inca Fransen Barend Were Asked By A French Promotor To Deliver The Soundtrack For A Fashion & Lifestyle Event In Brussels Labeled Excellence. Instead Of Going Just For Moody Sounds And Lounge Atmospheres The Twosome Decided To Go Beyond Synths And Beats And Composed A Songcycle To Express Their Contemporary Interpretation Of Traditional Delta Blues.

Featuring Trumpeter Erik Truffaz The Album Captured The Now Typical Non-Traditional Sound Scape Structure That Became The Gare Du Nord Sound. Although The Album Was Released To High Critical Acclaim And Generated A Hit Single The Steely Dan-Tribute Go Back Jack Sales Were Only Modest.
