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?

Amazing german "Ethno Synth-Pop" or maybe "Balearic Synth"?? Ameisen Essen Mein Bett (transl. ants are eating my bed) is one of the hits here - and yes there are more! Nicest copy i've ever seen...

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.

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!

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.

Condition: VG+/VG+

Piet Klocke's first album. Including a lot of the usual uptempo NDW tunes, typical for the era. The record wouldn't have found it's way here if there weren't something special on the album. No. 1 is the hit here and it's VERY special. A touch of dub mixed with a blues feeling to warm our hearts. Lichter Der Stadt is and odd -6 NDW Disco jam with a great hook for german dancefloors.  And then there's Sie Bricht Mein Herz - another hit!

I had the dude on the phone when i was a teenager. He invited my little siters and her friends to a concert in town. They had interviewd him for the school student newspaper and prolly had an impact on him.... Forgive me that I never really liked  the dude ever since. But hey - sometimes people can surprise you. That Balearic Boogie banger produced by Giorgios right hand Harold Faltermeyer really kicks!
