Style: Moonlit Jazz Funk

Format: EP
Label: Growing Bin Records

Year: 2016

Condition: M/M

Operating on their own and free from outside control, the Melbourne quartet Krakatau had gone further than ever before, diving deep into black holes and solar flares to create their own style of sun-kissed funk and moonlit jazz. Clocking in at an expansive ten minutes a-piece, these extra terrestrial expressions were taken back to the Bin and transferred to the only format strong enough to contain them. The A-side of this freshly pressed vinyl belongs to ‘Tharsis Montis’, a particularly potent strain of slowly creeping funk, germinated in the Victoria sunshine and matured under the steady glow of the Hamburg heat lamps.

Style: Pan Flute Jazz Funk

Format: LP
Label: Electrecord

Year: 1985

Condition: NM/VG

Uncommon and funky romanian Jazz-Funk. Tircolea plays various pan flutes and it doesn't sound like the indio groups in city centers at all. The album includes some pan flute funk takes on famous melodies like Nature Boy and Hit The Road Jack but the self penned songs Dream Of A Nymphe (Rhodes Solo!) and Oltenia are the strongest tracks in my opinion.

Swedish Jazz-Funk on Klaus Schulze's label? Yep and it just can't go wrong..... Some very sensual Jazz-Funk that is and there's 3 very persuasive tracks that may give you shivers. One of them was played at a cocktail party by the pool last year and I got quite some ID requests for that track... maybe that's why it's pretty tough to come by now?

Soulful Fusion by this octett coming from the Zurich area. Well probably except from the vocalist, he sings in english and sounds like a native speaker (just like his name doesn't sound swiss). The guys play a most excellent mid 80s Fusion of Jazzrock, Soul and Boogie not forgettinhg the obvious latin tinged tune. Reminds me of bands like Zenit, Seawind and Merge...

Hobbyists again! Gifted girls and guys from Bückeburg (the middle of nowhere) playing tunes by Horace Silver, Alphonze Mouzon, Joe Sample, Ian Carr and Kenny Dorham. Plus these two self penned jams. Disco Swing is the notable among these two. Song For My Father and Come Into My Life are sthe strongest tracks in the batch of covers with an incredibly soulful sound for whiteys from the middle of Germany's nowhere. The sound is a bith thin since is was recorded in a school, but this is actually a lot more charming than disturbing ;)

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.
