Style: Pensive!

Format: LP
Label: Castle

Year: 1979

Condition: NM/VG+ signed

Beware - this is a guitar solo album! For better understanding of the vibe let me translate the title: The wind and the cloud. And that's exactly what you get. Lightweight and fragile moments full of wonder and emotion. Tristeza in the brazillian tunes und pure sentiment in the ballads. I know guitar solo scares most people away, but give it a try. Listening is free! Signed by the artist...

Style: Nueva Trova

Format: LP
Label: Areito

Year: 1982

Condition: NM/VG+

Delicious food for ever so bored ears. Rodríguez is one o the main figures in Nueva Trova that you could roughly describe as the revolutionary brother of traditional cuban songs. I do not understand spanish, but I do understand these trunes and they amaze me a lot. Especially that bloody Nueva Fusion nugget Son Desangrado that I call the top of the pops here.

Ana Mazzotti's second album is infact a better sounding version of her first. If you fell in love with Sou as I did, you will be delighted to hear this - even warmer - version. Of course the complete Azymuth set is backing her again here :)

Format: LP
Label: Domino (Private)

Year: 198?

Condition: NM/VG+

Half of the tracks of this amazing album here are Villa-Lobos compositions - Leaving enough playtime for some self-penned songs by Haberl and his comrad Hubert Waldner, who also plays flutes and saxophone. And then there are these wonderful vocals by some lady called D.B. One that will not only make collectors of italian 70s soundtracks cry. This beauty is out of this world!!

Style: Brazil not Brazil

Format: LP
Label: Private

Year: 198?

Condition: VG-/VG+

A private and almost completely unknown gem recorded in Germany and released in Brazil. Favela is a half brazillian, half german band and they play a digi mix of deep and folky MPB and Capoeira music. Everytime I hear the record this "I Go To Brazil" hook stays for the rest of the day... this is not the nicest copy and I will include a rip of my NM keeper.

Style: Latin spiced Krautrock

Format: LP
Label: Not On Label

Year: 1984

Condition: NM/VG  woc (dedications by band members)

Signed copy of the Walkband's second and in my opinion best album. That might explain why it's so much harder to find their first. This album her goes a bit deeper than Suerte. Of course it's including those latin jazzrock tunes that you want to hear from a Latin Jazzrock combo, but they also have these more spiritual (in terms of jazz) and deep tunes like Peace and My Kind Of Raga this time...
