30 years of minds blown. Starting with a few that became MANY over the years. Now spread over 4 LPs with all tracks and extras. Steep UK import price, yes! But its standing dry here and I am okay with not selling this now (but @ discogs for triple the price in 2 years...)

Mellow fusion by dutch guitar master Jan Akkerman. He also plays bass and synths on this one. Also on Synths - Joachim Kühn... check out the ambient jam Cool In The Shadow and you may see why I call this my favourite Akkerman album.

THIS is my favourite album of the last yearS!

I dare to call Jens Fischer, Asim Saha & Klaus Netzle (Gyan Nishabda) the DREAM TEAM of german New Age Elektronik.

Isn't it a bit disappointeing that these extremely creative minds couldn't get the record company to come up with a name less generic than Greatest Hits. But then I ask myself if they were actually given the voice? These major dudes were probaby trained not to have half a good heart. Well at least the record has a really nice cover. And it actually has the greatest hits (up until 1978) of one of the most timeless crews ever... just these two dudes with the best studio guys on earth.

Her smile says it all: THIS ALBUM IS A GEM!

What she doesn't seem to know. The singles aren't the real hits. Or better:  The singles aren't the timeless tracks that can still do magic 40 years after... Listen to Falling, Sleepless, Sad Old World and Sweetheart and you will understand!

You might wonder why I label this fantastic record by a US nightingale as street soul? Just listen to it  - - -  such the magic anthem. I taped it from the radio in 88 and still love it like the first day. Mantronik for president of the I.S.S.A. (International Street Soul Association)!

Music to a mpdern day Jungle Book by Junior Homrich ( body percussion, bass, clay pots) and Brian Gascoigne (synths , marimba) with the help of Joao Bosco on percussion,finger piano and african drums. You'd bet this is pretty percussive and organic! IT IS and it gets even better with the mighty Ethno-Disco jam Eagle Break

Year: 1991

Condition: NM/VG+

In the shadows of Daniel Lanois' Acadie and Chris Isaak's bayou grooves this mighty fine album gaind little recognition wen it came out. Just listen to the breakbeat driven Dark Archer and tell the world they were all wrong in 1991!

Label: Marlboro

Year: 1989

Condition: VG+/VG soc

What the hell did the people at Marlboro (yes the stupid cowboy ciggies) think when they teamed up with Virgin to establish a label and sign someone so gentle and esoteric like Andreas von Wangenheim? Change the whole cowboy image by releasing New Age music??

Whatever they thought - it's just fantastic that they released these wonderful songs. Calling it "all killer, no filler" doesn't really fit the New Age vibe, huh? But hey it's Marlboro :)  and it's shotgun recommended! And you might recognize one of the key tracks from my Dezember mix for testpressing from a few years ago.

Year: 2006 / 2020

Condition: M/M 

Seriously one of the greatest downtempo albums ever recorded. It's a personal fave for 15 years in this house and it was played a lot more than Moon Safari f.e. When it came out the vinyl version was hard to get. I thought I'd get a cheap 2nd hand copy later to accompany my CD (by now it's 3 CDs played though). Guess what! The price for 2nd hand copies was just nuts. Over the years I was often very close to spend a 3digit price on it. Now I don't have to any more :)

Huge Hit Alert here!! I can't believe that this one didn't chart in 1990!?!

It brings insane midtempo action (102 BPM) for the chilled dancefloor in 3 different mixes of which the Dance Edit is the sharpest with that sick bassline being most prominent. The Orient Version whas a nice intro if mixing it in is not an option

A while ago I found my og KMS copy of Fix pretty rinsed. Seeing that there is a good sounding reissue I took the chance and ordered on more. Anyone into some seminal Orlando Voorn? These pumping 136 BPM of Flash should move even dropdead 20 year olds. From The Ghetto is a tad slower but mad funky!!
