Dutch Jazz-Rock band from Groningen (founded 1970 - disbanded 1983). Tom Barlage (woodwinds, keyboards) and Willem Ennes (keyboards) played in The Keys, before evolving into the soul influenced band Soulution. When drummer Hans Waterman joined in 1969 (after leaving Cuby + Blizzards), along with the bass player and singer Peter van der Sande, the 1st line-up of Solution (now minus the extra letter "u") was formed. The partial change of name also determined the transition from soul to progressive music which was emerging forcefully at the beginning of the 70's. In 1971 Solution recorded in three days their debut album for EMI Bovema on their new and experimental Catfish label. The music showcased a wide variety of influences : from John Coltrane to Frank Zappa, Soft Machine, Nucleus, Traffic and even a pinch of early Canterbury-style sound. After some gigs and appearances on Dutch TV, Guus Willemse became the new bassist and vocalist of Solution. They released their 2nd album "Divergence" in 1972 on Harvest label and toured in UK for two weeks supporting Badfinger and Electric Light Orchestra.
