It always has been Luc Van Acker's dream to perform his crucial album "The ship" once again.
After the recent reunion from Arbeid Adelt! and of course not forgetting RevCoWorld this man's dream comes finally true.
We know it's a long way to go but you can note down that on Friday 17th Frebruary Luc Van Acker will play this whole album at the AB-venue in Brussels.
"The ship" came out after ‘Taking Snapshots’, which has been released in 1981.
‘The Ship’ was produced by Jean-Marie Aerts and featured guest musicians such as Anna Domino, Dave Allen (Shriekback), David Rhodes (Peter Gabriel), Ian Caple (producer from Tricky) and Blaine L. Reininger (Tuxedomoon), and they all will be joining Luc on stage that day.
All three singles ‘Heart And Soul’, ‘The Ship’ and ‘Zanna’ were all classics.
Tickets for info can be found here.

Legendary producer Martin Rushent who brought us ao The Human League's breakthrough album Dare died yesterday at his home at 63.
The news was announced on facebook by Martin's son Tim.
Having worked with names as diverse as Shirley Bassey, Yes, T-Rex or Fleetwood Mac from the early seventies on, he put his teeth in punk from the early beginning. Bringing bands like Stranglers, 999, XTC, Generation X or Buzzcocks to stardom.
In the early 80's he started his own Genetic label signing Ultravox, Visage and Spandau Ballet, the plans were bombed by their respective parent labels. At the same time he invested the massive amount of £250.000 into a state of the art studio, which produced the first single for the label and solo debut for Buzzcocks singer Pete Shelley: Homosapien.
But the breakthrough came with the Human League's 1981 Dare album, putting his name deffinitely on the map and making his CV a roster of 80's powerpop/wave names.
His latest work included the Pipettes second album

Eternal Pride reissues the collaboration of Der Blutharsh and Deutsch Nepal
Eternal Pride reissues the 1999 collaboration of the leading martial / industrial / ambient formations Der Blutharsch & Deutsch Nepal.
The state of despair and hopelessness is the main theme of the music. Death floating in the uncertainty, death as the basic obsession standing behind all your thoughts and feelings - the monotonous, cold language and fixed scenes.
Albin Julius & Lina Baby Doll stand here for the chroniclers of Europe, its dramatic historical way which gave rise to the bloody outbreaks and mystical spiritual revelations - war as the phenomenon of human nature which is constantly testing itself for strength.
Apocalyptic despair is the theme of the whole album, which was released as a limited edition 10'' in 1999, and which is now available on CD in a digipak.
Just good news that is coming out of the Elektro Kommando-kamp.
