PERU was a Dutch Synthesizer band, started in 1979 with Peter Kommers and Ruud van Es. They used their first names to make the name of the band. Rob Rapen also joined the band and Jos van de Dungen was involved in this project later on. Besides the name PERU they also used the name NOVA for their more commercial work. The single like ‘Aurora’ was in the charts those days! The music by Peru can be described as ‘new age’ or ‘electronic’. File it under ’synthesizer’ if you will. It can be played while sitting on the couch or as the background of a film. Peru has made music you won’t hear that often anymore nowadays which is too bad…. Welcome to Spacemusic! The Jukebox plays ‘Whales’ and it’s from their album called ‘Forlian‘ which is a 1988 release when Jos van de Dungen joined Ruud and Peter. Visit the iTunes Store and get more music by this great band, there’s a fine collection of albums to choose from. Our suggestion: get them all !!!

Has hints of Tangerine Dream and Jan Hammer. I could see this being used as incidental music to a Miami Vice episode.
