Style: Weird Wood

Format: LP
Label: Not On Label

Year: 1987

Condition: NM/VG+

One of the weirder pieces of wooden wax out there. It actually some kind of compilation since every track is different and I mean different. My favourite "different" track out here is that pseudo samba jam that might be a take on Coati Mundi's Prisoner Of My Principles (on 33) or just a damn freaky GEM. I don't have to tell you that it's just as rare, eh?

You probably know that the german Maxi-Single including the longer version of Stay Free is rare and in demand. Now this is the impossible to find german promo. Not the dutch promo that only pretends to include Stay Free (cover says Stay Free on the B-Side but it's not on the record). According to the promo sheet 20 copies exist... I couldn't believe my eyes when finding this. never ever have I seen another one before in 20+ years of digging. I wouldn't mind keeping this :)

Condition: VG+/VG+

The Pyramid Orchestra's singles are great but the real 24k gems are only to be found on the album. I'm talking about Reich Der Magie and Voodoo. Both sick experimental synth and percussion oddities par excellence. Plays with occasional background crackle, mostly in the lesser interesting tracks.

Year: 1984

Condition: NM/VG

I call this a wonderfull and emotional album. Can't say if this is ambient jazz or new age ;)  But in the end I don't care about words anyway. It's those shivers the music gives me. My fave is Venedig (Venezia) just as elegant as romantical. But check out Wald, Sommernachtstraum and Samba Pronto as well. They're all in the clip!!

Still sealed copy of Jiskefet's bonkers Maxi Single. "Amazing self-released 12" by the infamous Dutch comedian collective Jiskefet from the nineties. Two bizar eighties German crimi sounding tracks with equally bizar German text lines and composed with great electronic synths and musicality that would easily fit in any crazy Italo or Electro set. Well mastered and pressed on firm pink vinyl, highly recommended!" (stolen from a discogs review). Einen Tropical Drink, bitte!

Style: Italo Disco

Format: LP
Label: Not On Label

Year: 1986

Condition: NM/VG+  

DIY Italo Disco made in Hannover, Germany 1986. There's not much information available about Cocy. Computermixage seems to be the only thing he ever recorded. That kind of correlates with his talent. Soundwise this album can't compete with the big studios in Italia and the tunes are played, produced and sung very badly. All in all one of the most obscure things on this planet with the Italo Disco sticker on it. A truly fantastic album full of moments where screaming out loud out of disbelief is the only possible reaction. If you like it weird THIS IS YOUR GRAIL.

Style: Funkiest Fusion

Format: LP
Label: Sun (Private)

Year: 1981

Condition: NM/VG+

Excellent album recorded in the golden years of private pressings. Sun is one of those groups who mingle funky jazzrock with latin rhythms adding a touch of progressive - without sounding like Santana :) Infact they're so funky that i almost labelled it a Krautfunk album. Strong horn section and their affinity to the boogie (not woogie ;) is hard to find among german musicians...

Impossible to find private press compilation from North Germany including some fantastic Prog and Krautrock gems.

Condition: NM/VG+  

Kraut Funk at it's BEST! Starting off with a superfunky jam session incl. soli for everyone in the band. Kemmler on guitar is blowing them other players to the walls of the studio. He‘s showing some more of his funky guitar skills in the second track called Chris The Fusionist. One thing very remarkable for a private german Fusion LP from 1983: It has RAPS! And they are a lot better than you‘d expect from a german (forget about Falco!). More fusion madness on the B- Side in Rebirth Of The Firebirds and they‘re closing with a mellow track called It Could Be. Smooth... Check the long clip!

Cosmic post Berlin School electronics from Hamburg - one of the impossible to find original copies of Hardy Kukuk's first album featuring Klaus Bloch on Ping Pong guitar echo system and Andreas Schneider on guitar and congas.

Style: Psych - Folk

Format: LP
Label: Lava

Year: 1981

Condition: NM/VG+  

The first thing I thought when listening to this album was: 1971. They must have fucked up the production date on the cover. This kind of singer songwriter style soft psychedelic can't be from 1981. Well some clocks tick different. Saskia's clock ticks very gently and I think the musicians might have had an affinity for Affinity. That should make you curious. A long soundclip is waiting for you!

Check this massive under the radar Krautfunk album including a good bunch of top tunes somewhere between Disco, Funk and Westcoast AOR. Funky drums, lovely synths & clavinet plus some surprisingly good vocals - sung in english of course ... these dudes are international, but you probably guessed so from the cover pic already!  Too bad they didn't really make it to the showbiz with this fine album!

Otto Wolters on piano and electric piano featuring Horst Wagner on bass & Charles Benecke on drums. It seems to be their only recording.

That's a shame. Their technically excellent and well balanced modern jazz improvisations have a whole lot of soul. Check the slow building Boab in the first clip and the rhythmically tricky Consuelo in the second.  It's rare private press. IMO one of the strongest private Modern Jazz LPs from Germany.
