Daniel Schell, a Belgian composer and multi-instrumentalist, and Dutch progressive rock singer Dick Annegarn, collaborated in 1978 to create the concept album "Egmont and The ff Boom." This unique project blends elements of psychedelic rock, folk, and jazz, narrating the tale of Count Egmont, a 16th-century Flemish hero, while exploring the evolution of the oud, the ancestor of the guitar. The album features contributions from notable artists, including members of the band COS and Catalan singer Ilona Chale. Initially released via Zeuhl school distributors Free Bird, the album has been reissued, allowing new audiences to experience this distinctive fusion of historical narrative and musical innovation.
