Behind the name KING EIDER we can find two Dutch musicians:Derk-Evert Waalkens,who has been member of several not well-known Dutch bands and handles all keyboards/drum programming and backing vocals,and Hans Gerritse,member of NICE BEAVER and guitarist/bassist on this album. The two men are helped by Dirk Pomp on drums and and Rinie Huigen (ex-Cliffhanger, now Knight Area) and Eric Holdtman on vocals. KING EIDER-''Somateria spectabilis'' is nothing more than the official terminology of a duck of the Arctic Sea.
