Page "Nits (band)" Paragraph 6

In the meantime, the group had been developing their sound on their numerous European tours.

Many songs were radically reworked for live performance, a practice the group would continue throughout their career.

Between the group's experiments with different arrangements, and the addition of Stips to the line-up, The Nits gradually moved toward a more distinctive musical style, with Kloet playing a wide range of percussion, and Stips ' keyboards used to produce a lusher sound.

Omsk showcased the new Nits sound with songs like " A Touch Of Henry Moore ", almost entirely based around Kloet's percussion, and the dramatic hit single " Nescio ".

The follow-up Adieu Sweet Bahnhof was another hit, but tensions between the group and producer Jaap Eggermont led to the departure of Pieters, and a change in the group's working methods.

In future, they would produce their own material and bring in guest musicians as required.
