I remember vaguely Wiel was one half of a synth duo (the band name slips my mind, will check this evening) from Limburg, of which I got a C-90 tape.....
Their style was classic, BS-inspired EM incorporated in long tracks...

yes, I was correct:
Wiel Gielkens formed Pegasus at the start of the '80's with Stephan van Stratum.
I got their 1st cassette (a C-90 without any cover art) with a letter from 1983 adressed to Frits "KLEM" Couwenberg, which the latter once sold in his KLEM Stall.
The tape e.g. contains the lengthy "Crossing Thresholds" filling the whole b-side

also see www.discogs.com/artist/1681171-Pegasus-12
where Wiels last name is spelled incorrect on the tape-sheet. This is different tape though.

I do not have an official cover, but I think it is the same music. I will give Bert entrance to a dropbox to listen to it.

I do have a new original copy of this tape I bought when it was released, it's identical to the images on discogs entry.

New agey music, the first track starts with birds chirping & not to be confused with the German Pegasus which arrived 8 years later on the Ardema label...
