Silhouette is the fourth and final studio album by the Dutch band Nasmak, before the band picked up the thread again as Nasmak PM in 2018[1] and was released in 1983 on Plurex Records[2]. Joop van Brakel has left the band since the release of the previous album and Nasmak remains as a trio.

Music

The previous album was already more fashionable, now there is more emphasis on song structures, with the use of a backing vocal. This results in a number of good songs. This is the farewell album of the remaining rest of the band. With this the band still reaps success, with interest from a number of major record companies. Nevertheless, the remaining trio decides to disband Nasmak, the urge for change had run out.[3][4][5][6][7]
