New Arrivals Dezember

 
Style: Various

Format: LP
Label: Bernbaker

Year: 1985

Condition: VG+/VG+

Did I say WHOAh. Yes I did!

That Talking Drums track Che Che Kule is an afro BOMB. Finding it's explosive equivalent in Mnml Snth in Nomusic by Noname on the B-Side. (R)Evolution - Nein Danke!? isn't bad either ;)

Style: Ambient / Organic Chill Pills

Format: CD
Label: WEA

Year: 1991

Condition: NM/VG+

A scarce album full of wonderful tunes and I dare not to say who he played for. With grausen I think of Mariuuuuus but fortunately the Blue Lotus calms me down again immediately. It seems like they didn't produce many vinyl copies of this CD era album. What a pity! But hey - here's a CD :)

Style: Poetic Pop

Format: LP
Label: Contrapunkt

Year: 1989

Condition: NM/VG+

Schnee, Schnee, Schnee! That's all I can think about lately. I just can't get this subtle and deep beauty out of my head. Musically taking Sade's I Never Thought I'd See The Day to another level of placidness.

Style: Library? GOLD

Format: LP
Label: Klawei

Year: 1986

Condition: NM/NM

Looks like a library and looks as if it was soso. It's actually SO SO good! These two SUNBIRDS enjoyed playing together a LOT - covering almost all bases of styles that I'm after: Underwater ambient, Synth Funk, Balearic Boogie, Experimental electronic, Breaks that only Klaus Weiss can play and outtaspace Bossa. You have to hear to believe. believe me!

Style: Mnml Snth

Format: LP
Label: Futuremusic

Year: 1987

Condition: NM/VG+ small seam split on top

RTC's hard to find 2nd album meanders between unusual dancefloor weaponry and challenging experimentation. I've seen beautiful things when the Little Boy encountered people gathering on a floor and I'm experiencing weird but wonderful moments at home on Limited Speed (first in the clip)

Keyboards + Percussion = Ambient Heaven. Impossible to find music for dance. This is the CD version. Perfect if you don't want even a single crackle and 100€ for the vinyl is too much for the purse

Style: Far Out

Format: LP
Label: Mediadisc

Year: 198?

Condition: NM/VG- tears

Two aged gentlemen with a classical training on the freak out mode. They call it Meditationen für Flöte und Keyboards in vier Sätzen. I think most people don't need a translation. Here's your ticket to ride!

Label: Not On Label

Year: 1986

Rainer Dimmler calming us down on his chinese zither. Accomapanied by guitar and percussion only - to create a lightweight but intense sound. There's a meditative atmosphere throughout the album. Highest recomendation!

Format: LP
Label: Telefunken

Year: 1974

Condition: VG+/VG+

DOLCE!!! Before Alec R. Costandinos produced all these continetal disco gems he recorded this wonderful album under the moniker Milton Di Sao Paulo. The whole thing was arranged by genious Ivan Jullien and sounds incredibly rich. South american tristeza meets balearic funk.

Don't Miss This!!

Style: Soft Rock

Format: LP
Label: DJM

Year: 1976

Condition: VG/VG+

Mellow "Winter In America" vibes and proper AOR disco jams. Its that time of the year to hear the angels sing! I graded it VG because B2 (which I didn't even rip, because it's not interestingto my ears) has periodic clicks. The good tracks play great.

LISTEN!

 
Style: Heaven Sent

Format: LP
Label: Mercury

Year: 1982

Condition: VG+/VG+

Wonderful record including Dweller On The Treshold. A song that I used to hear so many times when visiting in the world famous Plattenrille in Hamburg. Many moons later it still gives me shivers. If you're not convinced yet - I've also heard Phil Mison play this out some years ago :)

Style: Mediterrenean Gold

Format: LP
Label: Warner

Condition: VG+/VG+

AOR Disco fans beware. This magic stuff must be coming from Italy's WESTCOAST. Driving rhythms, bubbling synths and uplifting strings make this library-like album a WINNER!

Style: Tropical Bonkers

Format: 12"
Label: Not On Label

Year: 1999

Condition: M/M

Still sealed copy of Jiskefet's bonkers Maxi Single. "Amazing self-released 12" by the infamous Dutch comedian collective Jiskefet from the nineties. Two bizar eighties German crimi sounding tracks with equally bizar German text lines and composed with great electronic synths and musicality that would easily fit in any crazy Italo or Electro set. Well mastered and pressed on firm pink vinyl, highly recommended!" (stolen from a discogs review). Einen Tropical Drink, bitte!

Style:  Mediterranean Pop / Jazz / Boogie

Format: LP
Label: Ariola (Ger)

Year: 1982

Condition: NM/VG+ 

Loredana Berté's sister Mia Martini comes up with an amazing album with a nice variety of styles. My favourite is the laid back and funky ballad E Ancora with some outerspace Oberheim soli, but the organic and folky Nanneo is highly recommended too. And so is the boogie-ish Stai Con Me

LISTEN!

 
Style: Jazz Funk

Format: LP
Label: Supraphon

Year: 1980

Condition: NM/VG+

Side A has been sollely recorded to give czech granddaddies a little security. Hey it's a Big Band album! But on the B-Side they change it for the Big Bang instead. Kickin off with a voluminous Latin Fusion jam called Proclamation including wicked conga and peruccsion soli that majestically proclaim the rocking chair era over. Followed by an even scarier slice of wickedest Jazz Funk...

LISTEN!

 
Style: Contemporary Breeze

Format: LP
Label: Ausfahrt

Year: 1987

Condition: NM/VG+

I first thought of filing it under Cocktails in oversized glasses (referring to the size of his instrument) but that other one fits it better. Breezy compositions without a hint of cheese. Playful but clear. Walking through the summer rain without an umbrella!

Style: Prog / Fusion / Funk

Format: LP
Label: Duraphon

Year: 1978

Condition: VG+/VG tears inside the gatefold

A rather unknown swiss complation including some real heaters. Mostly in form of progressive Fusion but the Funk was strong in some of the artists too.

Style: Northern Jazz

Format: LP
Label: NDR

Year: 1979

Condition: NM/VG+

The live version of Metheny's San Lorenzo would be reason enough to won this album. Garbareks smooth Entering puts a silky layer over it. And I love Pierre favre going nuts whilst jamming with Albert Mangelssdorf and Arild Andersen on Sparrhärmlingslied.

LISTEN!

 
Style: Swedish Jazz

Format: LP
Label: Philips

Year: 1973

Condition: NM/NM

Modern Jazz from two swedish milestones that sounds pretty cool, if you know what I mean. Especially when it explores the world. If I wouldn't know it should have been Nasi Goreng from Indonesia I would have guessed for Harissa. Delicious anyway!

Style: Accidental Boogie

Format: LP
Label: Alpha Music

Year: 1982

Condition: VG+/VG+

I remember well that it took me several attempts over the years to actually listen to this one at my favourite record shop. The cover kinda attracted me as it put me off at the same time. Listening to the first two songs reassured my doubts... and then EVERYTHING changed! German speaking people out there don't ...

Format: LP
Label: Rock Trend

Year: 1982

Condition: NM/NM

I have no idea where these guys are coming from (semi true, detectve skills) but I know that this has not gained any recognition because the pearl is hidden at the very end again. Overall mediocre Deutschrock with an interesting Anti Gun Reggae and sickest Jungle Trash

Style: Caribbean Funk

Format: LP
Label: Happy Bird

Year: 1975

Condition: VG+/VG+

First Pressing of this funky Peter Herbolzheimer production. Of course his friend Dieter Reith does his magic on the keys.  Including that insane funky version of Bob Marley's Get Up Stand Up. The brass & horns are tight as hell. Check also the tropical funk tune Caribbean Rock and the superfunky Motherles Child!

Label: ECM

Year: 1984

Condition: NM/VG+ seamsplit

Ulrich Lask featuring Meinolf Bauschulte on drums & electronic percussion as well as Sigrid Meyer and Monika Linges on vocals. This does not sound like your average ECM record. Actually it sounds like the Ströer Bros meeting Africa Bambatta.

Format: 2LP
Label: Elektra (Boot?)

Year: 1993

Condition: VG+/VG+  

This raw, funky, and highly energetic Hip Hop masterpiece paved the way for the Wu Tang Clan's debut coming half a year later. They had two pre album singles in '92 - Psycho and Funky Child. Both were gamechangers! When I first saw Psycho on Yo! MTV Raps i was sold... This copy here looks like a boot but sounds great.
