Access 2 Amsterdam Reviewed

The freshman edition of A2A: Access to Amsterdam took place in Amsterdam from 17 to 20 October. Hundreds of bands, scores of workshops and panels - a huge undertaking to be sure, but how was the payoff? KindaMuzik sent five writers and a photographer to gather some A2A impressions.

HYPE, EGOS, ALTERNATE REALITIES, & FREE COCKTAILS
KindaMuzik's very own nightcrawler Martijn ter Haar suffered an A2A overdose, resulting in his psychologist's advised remedy to write off this I-Journo ailment. Read on for all of the facts and gossip of Access To Amsterdam 2001.

WHO HAS GOT ACCESS TO WHAT?
Striking was where the good music came from. The Americans brought us nothing new. Notably, there were hardly any British musicians present. Among the best bands, there were a more-than-fair amount of Belgian musicians...

THE POWER OF THE PLACE: A2A WORKS LIKE REAL ESTATE
Like there is no possibility to see all of the bands playing at A2A, there is hardly any possibility to check out all of the stages. It seems like the conference business listens to the same buzzwords as the real estate business: location, location, and location.

BACK TO SCHOOL @ A2A
Next to live rock'nroll, networking, and discussing journalism, there was some time left for keynote speeches and lectures. KindaMuzik's professor Tijs was there and reports from the lecture room.

VISUAL PLEASURE
Samantha Deskins presents a compilation of four days showcasing in Amsterdam, as the eye needs to be satisfied as well...

PANAMA RED PLAYS A2A
Fresh from attending the inaugural edition of A2A: Access to Amsterdam, singer, songwriter, guitar player, raconteur, and all-around institution Panama Red reports from the scene. Cocktail hours, schmoozing with the fatcats, and a whole truckload of live music - read all about it in Panama's A2A diary.
