The President's Music Was A Blend Of Gospel And Roots Music Filtered Through Repetitive And Asymettrical Patterns. "I Was Working With Sequencers For The First Time And Enjoying Putting My Harmonic Ideas Up Against Interesting Little Repetitive Grooves. I Was Accused Of Being Influenced By Minimalism But I Never Heard That. I Was Often Quoted As Being Influenced By Indonesian Music But Often For The Wrong Reason. The Rhythmic Cycles Were Not What I Took From Indonesian Music But Rather The Role Of The Improvisor. I Was Knocked Out By The Way The Suling And The Rebab Solos Throughout A Piece But Not Featured. In The Music Of India Or Charlie Parker The Soloist Is Supported By The Ensemble And Is The Principal Focus. I Liked The Idea Of The Soloist Informing And Shading The Composition. I Would Often Ask Stew Or Doug To Say Inside The Blues Or A Gospel Sound Or Whatever And Let The Composition Change The Perspective On That Sound. Sort Of Like Taking A Muddy Waters Solo And Changing Everything Else Around It." 2 Dutch Rock Band The President Was A Collaboration Of Multi-Instrumentalist Pim Koopman Formerly Of Diesel And Kayak And Singer Okkie Huijsdens Famous For Singing On The Global Chart Hit Of Stars On 45 . They Only Released Two Albums Before Splitting In 1985. Their Song 'You're Gonna Like It' A Hall & Oates-Styled Pop Gem Still Enjoys Minor Airplay On Dutch Radio To This Day.
