Label: Dees & Duss (Private)

Year: 1982

Condition: NM/VG (corner wear)

Private Deutschfunk from lovely Uelzen, the charming town with a train station by Friedensreich Hundertwasser. People say that the former housekeeper of the theater and artclub of Uelzen was a pimp in his sparetime. Never mid - this band is really on fire and their singer actually has a great voice.

Nicest of this private oddity. Even better than the last one I had. Romantic Italo Disco says hello to "post Modern Talking" synth pop.

The talented Else Nabu is accompanied by some equally talented spirits. I'd like to mention Christian Kneisel and Wolfgang Thierfeldt. This album has quite a bunch of great tracks, of which Adler & Raketen might be my fave. I really dif Angst too, but I have listened to it too many times on the wrong speed so the original sounds akward now. I'll include a CD-r with the wrongspeeder. This copy would be a NM if not for the marks on the A-Side that create clicks in the last 5 revolutions of Adler and 10 clicks in Jagdzeit. Will add these in clean to the CD-r

Label: New Sound (Private)

Year: 197?

Condition: VG+/VG+

Thank God for these rarest xian "Sacro Pop" grooves. Insel der Illusionen is too much if you dig those 70s folk funk grooves. And there are some "badass" loops in there too. Looks amazing but plays with occasional background! crackle. Pressing? Washing?

Style: Prog / Fusion

Format: LP
Label: ETA (Microlabel)

Year: 1984

Condition: NM/VG  

A lot better than their first. It has less symphonic phrases and a straighter structure. And the most important thing for me: they changed the hammond for a synth....

Style: Spandau Boogie

Format: EP
Label: ATS

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.

Awesome music for contemporary dance music by the highly talented Graziano Mandozzi! Organs, Choirs, Breakbeats & Screams galore. Reminds me of some of the more freaked out sessions by Francois De Roubaix.

ODDEST under the radar singer songwriter album including some fantastic AOR floaters and that sick eight minute long oriental influenced jam M'Rock'n'Roll featuring Klaus Weiss on drums, Dave King on ARP Bass, Thor Baldursson on Moog and Jürgen Koppers on the konsole. * I have been reported a pressing defect on the oriental jam that causes skips on most turntables. I'll inlcude a CDr with the said track playing through and an amazing Andre Pahl edit ...

Year: 197?

Condition: VG+/VG+

Here's a xian oddity that you probably have never seen before. An ungooglabe gem from the late 60s or early 70s. Soundwise not at the head of it's time but the amateurish recording is making it even more charming. Except from the DIY charm this one has funky drums, wild organs, Galt McDermot compositions, Electric Prunes style chorusses and a cover version of Hey Joe and Udo's Peace Now. POW!
