One of those records that doesn't want to be discovered. First of all it's really tough to come by. Once you locate it and listen you may find that it seems to be filled with senseless pop all the way through the album. BUT out of nowhere appears this last track - RIGHT AWAY  and WTF... seriously one of my holy grails among european oddities. You have to listen to this as I have no words ...

Here's Heidelinde's first album. Of course it has the funky numbers that you'd expect after hearing her second album (first 2 clips).

Unsure about the Black Madonna (transl. title side a) It starts unbelievably good, but those guitar shreds need some cutting imho. The B Side IN FACT really does it for me and I can verify the lyrics. In 1986 it was all about Computer Games ... Off to Mars with Zak!

Nicest copy of this crazy rare latin/funky Krautrock gem filled with mindblowing tracks. Alone the heavy Kraut Disco smasher Love Not Yet (Basso Edit included on CD) and the wonderful latin grover Sierra (better than most of the tracks on the Glücklich comps). AND THERE IS MORE!!

Obsession! The title track is one of my all time faveourite german jams. Perfect in every sense. I thought about making a longer version, but there's absolutely no need. All is in balance here. I also thought about making a new youtube video for it since I love it that much, but the one that was already there is just great. No need to piss the non existing growing bin logo into the snow. By the way: the whole album is great. It's amazes me how Hoelderlin made the move from proggy Folk to Pop in Perfection.

I have no clue why I got attracted to this end 80s pop jammer, but I'm sure it wasn't the pic on the back. The sound was a surprise. Synth Pop mingled with Italo Disco, a bit of Carolin Loeb, odd Schlager vibes and balearic beat. Guilty pleasure or Mitgröhlen? You decide.

One for the obscure disco heads who've heard it all. Well obviously not all... This highly odd Hamburg speciality including that funky disco jammer op platt is completely unknown. Maybe because there are no copies out there. In 12 years of hunting I managed to find 2 copies. Do Wat Du Wüllt translates "do what you want" and "the neighbours talk about you anyway".. Especially when you play this one very loud!

Year: 1989

Condition: NM/VG+

Seldom seen Blue Eyes getting down on this private german Pop fourtracker. Doing it themselves (DIT) with a Soft Boogie touch á la Spandau Ballet adding bits of  Sade-like slow bossa.

Their english is not the best (not throwing stones out of my glasshouse) but it's not badly disturbing. The hit is unmistakably the title track called Searchning The Sense with a great verse, even catchier than the hook. Don't let anybody tell you something different. Especially no artless clowns who seem to have so little taste in music that they repeatedly need the growing bin to get the inspiration for their reissues and comps.

Easy Darling - Alles Klar! The girls remind me of Gabi Anicette,

Format: LP
Label: Teldec

Year: 1983

Recent on-screen activities by this saussage happy piper reminded me of his better days and made me dive into the archives upstairs. Car tuning rap meets Frankfurter stories. Don't sleep!

Style: NDW DISKO

Format: LP
Label: Ahorn

Year: 1981

Condition: NM/VG+  

NDW with an attitude by Krautrock legend Lüül (Agitation Free, Ashra Tempel). Including the odd disco cut Disko Diva for some proper underground action ...

Style: Juicy Minimal Wave

Format: LP
Label: GeeBeeDee

Year: 1981

Condition: NM/VG+  

Dig It Al(l) is Christian Kneisel, Michael Muschner, Frieder Butzmann and Rolf Kaiser. Their minimal wave is juicy, partly very humorous (sometimes in the titles only) and highly danceable. The ironic takes on electro disco will make friends of obscure undergound stuff sob ... Stop The Bullshit - The Digi Nights have come!!

Style: Jazz Funk / Fusion

Format: LP
Label: Not On Label

Year: 1980

Style: Euro Disco

Format: LP
Label: Hörzu

Year: 1979

Condition: NM/VG+

Who would have expected these sick DISCO gems produced by one of Germany's most horrible Schlagerfuzzis. Well, at least he was mad enough to waste all the money made from singing tearjerkers for teenagers on self produced action films. These are actually so bad that they're worth watching. And they have some good background music!

LISTEN! SEE!

 
Style: Drawers Of Your Mind

Format: LP
Label: SWWS

Year: 198?

Condition: NM/VG+

New Age guitar meets Deep Funk Bass meets squirky synths and tight horn arrangements. Not to speak of the philosphical message. Galabas sei Dank!

Format: 7"
Label: Polydor

Year: 1985

Condition: NM/VG+  

Played this in the garden a couple of years ago and got too many ID requests... What a tune! Don't buy the 12" - on 95% of the copies this song is not included although it's mentioned on the label and back cover...

Rare Ali Rap in nicest condition. Including Promosheet: Türkei trifft Deutschland, nicht nur in den Sommerferien...

Style:  Jazz / Fusion / Blues / Disco Op Platt

Format: LP
Label: Blind Man (Private)

Year: 1979

Condition: NM/VG+  

As one would guess this is a Live Recording. It says Volume I, but after investigating heavily I can tell you that there's no Volume II. Probably due to a lack of commercial succes. The concert was given in a small spot called Gulfhaus in the middle of nowhere (Northern Germany). There's some deep blues and bluesrock tunes on the album and even some funky disco "op platt" by the ever-funny north german original Jan Willem.

And there's a non LP track by the Fusion-Combo Matter of Taste around Fritz & Kathrin Haug. This track is a beast of driving funky fusion... and seemingly only available on this compilation.
