ORIGANALLY, DE FABRIEK STARTED IN DECEMBER 1977 AS A COLLECTIVE PROJECT. THEIR GOAL WAS TO DO MINIMAL EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC. YOU COULD SEE THIS MINIMAL THING IN THE PRODUCTS THEMSELVES - LIMITED COPIES WITH SPECIAL PACKAGES.IN THE BEGINNING THEY WORKED WITH TOY INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER SELF BUILT MACHINES DOING WHAT YOU COULD CALL "MUSIQUE CONCRETE". LATER THEY STARTED USING MODERN EQUIPMENT ALSO.
DE FABRIEK ALWAYS HAS SOME STEADY MEMBERS AND THESE PEOPLE WORK TOGETHER WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHO FLOAT IN AND OUT TO DO SPECIFIC PROJECTS. AS A RESULT OF SUCH COOPERATION, YOU WILL GET DIFFERENT SOUNDSCAPES.
DE FABRIEK IS NOT INVOLVED WITH ANY STREAM, WAVE, OR TREND WHAT SO EVER. THE LAST 15 YEARS IT HAS BEEN AN INDEPENDENT LABEL FOR TAPES AND DISCS. IN ADDITION TO RELEASING THE WORKS OF DE FABRIEK, IT HAS ALSO BROUGHT OUT THE MUSIC OF OTHER MUSICIANS, FREAKS, AND MUSIC LOVERS.
This is their first amazing LP,more to come soon!

Schafttijd Samba was indeed the first vinyl album of De Fabriek. Edition of 500 copies, I remember. They released one cassette prior to this album: a tape with 10 minutes duration.
