Hamburg's romantic Krautrockers turned towards emotional pop in the mid 80s. Well with this album here. And they added just the right amount of boogie on some of these jams...

Year: 1974

Condition: NM/VG+

This is the only longplayer by the austrian singer and actor Hans Hass Jr. who became quite famous in Germany for a cover version of American Pie in 1972. The longplayer features mostly self penned songs and they're in fact more interesting than that world famous tune. My fave is the folky balearic hit Welche Farbe hat der Wind?

WHOA! Have you heard this one yet? When finding it for the first time I worked my way through the A-Side and didn't expect anything. And then all these B-Side BANGERS rained down on me.

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!

Sought after by krautrocksters for Arktis tracks, but honestly - they suck... BUT there are heavy tunes by unsung heroes here. Did i say heavy? I mean HEAVY! Can I exaggerate this any more? I would if it was possible. Listen to the tunes - you'll understand my excitement

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!!

Year: 1981

Condition: NM/VG+

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.

Year: 1979

Condition: NM/VG+

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!

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: 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.

Obscure and hard to find private newcomer compilation from Berlin 1979.  Including Baden Powell's Berimbau played by Ipanema,  the groovy Keep On Pushing by Airship and the first appearance of Christian Kneisel's Dig It Al(l) with the track Siouxsie Sioux

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.

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 ...
