Style: Afro Cosmic Elektronik

Format: LP
Label: 

Year: 

Condition: NM/VG+

ERA stands for Eelectronic Rhytmical Art and that's a tight description for this fantastic two tracker with a full length of 18 minutes and 40 seconds. Both tracks are gentle monsters with a afro-cosmic vibe attitude, vocoders, rhythmically triggered vocal samples and trippy vibes. I couldn't even say which side I like better!

Style: Afro Cosmic

Format: LP
Label: Rekord

Year: 1986

Condition: VG/VG+

Here's the second Tribute album featuring Pierre Morlen on Drums, Vibraphone and Marimba. More interesting than their first because of the Afro Jam A Kumma Ka Yidi! That jam plays great but some other tunes on this copy here don't, due to scratches. Not that anyone will ever play them but still I reduced the price by half.

Style:  Funk

Format: LP
Label: Polydor

Year: 1977

Condition: NM/VG+  

Tightest Ohio-Funk produced by a german for the german market. Sounds odd doesn't it? Well I guess it's because the german market wasn't already flooded with excellent Funk productions like this. Hot Ice is basically the same group as funksters Switch aka White Heat (Big Barry White's backing band) and of course they're PROS in the game.

Deep and FUNKY SHIT!!
