O.R.D.U.C. (One-o-seventh Royal Dutch Underground Company) was founded in 1971. At first O.R.D.U.C. was a band wich wanted to play a mixture of Frank Zappa’s and Pink Floyd’s music from the late sixties. But after the initial members had left, the founder turned it into a project for experimental music. Gradually the music chanced to minimal-pop. In 1980 O.R.D.U.C. recorded the track “Crazy Computer”, the first release on vinyl. A half year later, may 1981, the LP “Pink & Purple” was released. After that several albums followed such as "Fast Forward" (1981), the famous “New Cubism” (1981), “The Beatear” (1984) and “D-Train” (1986). Some tracks were released on compilation-albums. In 1998 the mini-album "Bonus-Tracks" was released on a 8-inch EP, through Feedback Records. In 2009 was the album "107" released. Two years later (in 2011) O.R.D.U.C. celebrated its 40 year jubilee, with the compilation LP "Ruby Jubilee". Another ten years passed, O.R.D.U.C. got 50 years and released that year (2021) the album "Shifting Times". O.R.D.U.C. is still active and preparing several new albums and a live-show. On the photo you can see O.R.D.U.C. during a break from the recording sessions for the "Pink & Purple" album, March 1981, in Zwolle, the Netherlands.
