Sought after by krautrocksters for Arktis tracks, but honestly - they suck... BUT there are heavy tunes by unsung heroes here. Did i say heavy? I mean HEAVY! Can I exaggerate this any more? I would if it was possible. Listen to the tunes - you'll understand my excitement

Format: LP
Label: Polydor Italia

Year: 1979

Condition: NM/VG+  

Progressive italian singer songwriter pop spiced with jazzy and organic flavours. Check that incredible beast of a track called La Voglia Di ... (transl. "the desire to...") it sounds as if it's a fratello of Toni Esposito's Rosso Napoletano.

Style: FIRE!

Format: 7"
Label: Ariola

Year: 1984

Condition: NM/VG+

Slow burning fire from the north! I believe the title of the B-Side refers to the scarcity of copies out there. Or to the missing cover. Volker (the guy in the middle) also played synths for Saada Bonaire...

Style: Hymns

Format: LP
Label: Spiegelei

Year: 1981

Condition: NM/VG+

Obsession! The title track is one of my all time faveourite german jams. Perfect in every sense. I thought about making a longer version, but there's absolutely no need. All is in balance here. I also thought about making a new youtube video for it since I love it that much, but the one that was already there is just great. No need to piss the non existing growing bin logo into the snow. By the way: the whole album is great. It's amazes me how Hoelderlin made the move from proggy Folk to Pop in Perfection.

One of the blueprints for all those wonderful experimental ambient LPs from Japan like Motohiko Hamase's or Ytaka Hirose's work. Seigen Ono seemingly had a huge impact on yound musicians seeking for something different in the realms of ambient music. Masterpiece!

Style: Ambient / New Age / Fricking Balearic

Format: LP
Label: Marlboro

Year: 1990

Condition: VG+/VG+

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!

Label: Amiga

Year: 1987

Condition: NM/VG+

I have no clue why I got attracted to this end 80s pop jammer, but I'm sure it wasn't the pic on the back. The sound was a surprise. Synth Pop mingled with Italo Disco, a bit of Carolin Loeb, odd Schlager vibes and balearic beat. Guilty pleasure or Mitgröhlen? You decide.

Scritti Politti is one of my favourite bands when it comes to 80s pop not pop and I'm always happy when i find music by people they influenced. Here's a rare example of young germans making their version of the Scritti sound. Is Rolf Kiffmeier a nom de plume?

LISTEN!

 
Style: Experimental Jazz / Feel-Good Free-Jazz

Format: LP
Label: Supraphon

Year: 1984

Condition: VG+/VG

People would call this a free Jazz record. But if you listen closely you'll find a lot of soul and understanding. Kicking of with A Carla Bley tune, probably brought in by the drummer: nobody else but legendary Andrew Cyrille. Olhos De Gato is also my favourite tune on the record. Brazillian vibes stripped bare, taking it down to an ECMmy mood. Cyrille behaving like an introvert octopus gone mad and Dasek elequently trying to soothe him. On Fashank Dasek shows why he's Czechoslovakia's #1 on free 6 strings. If that troubles you Rudolf has the cure in Everything that's left. The ultramarine bloozy ballad setzs the heart frequency straight again immediately.

I must admit that I wouldn't have listened to this if it weren't in a collection I bought some years ago. Listening to this before throwing it away turned out to be one of the best things I ever did (exaggeration). But seriously - when I heard Commitment I was sold. And sold for days. Those of you who follow what I do for a while know my relationship to the #1 invention of Adolphe Sax, but strangely enough it doesn't hurt here. You can say Basso is getting old or you listen to these wonderful jams and melt with me...

Charles Esposito is a friend of Paul Sabu. They are hard rocking Rockers and share the love for Disco. In the late 70s Charles came to Germany ( I assume to worship Giorgio Moroder) and found some more Disco-Rock friends to jam.

Condition: NM/VG+

One for the obscure disco heads who've heard it all. Well obviously not all... This highly odd Hamburg speciality including that funky disco jammer op platt is completely unknown. Maybe because there are no copies out there. In 12 years of hunting I managed to find 2 copies. Do Wat Du Wüllt translates "do what you want" and "the neighbours talk about you anyway".. Especially when you play this one very loud!
