Een Rondje Holland

Een Rondje Holland is a live album by Ex Orkest, an orchestra made up of the Dutch post-punk band The Ex accompanied by 20 other musicians.[1] The album features orchestral arrangements of previously released Ex songs (often with the band's standard English lyrics replaced with those in their native Dutch) mixed with pieces of improvised music.[2] The tracks were recorded over a series of four performances in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium, and compiled for release on the band's own label in 2001.
