Style: Experiments in Humor

Format: 7"
Label: Drone Records

Year: 1994

Condition: NM/VG+  

"The first side kicks off with an almost Pythonesque lecture on noise enhanced by a Folksy song. The absurdity of the dialogue & the accompanying sounds bring to mind RUNZELSTIRN & GURGELSTØCK's first vinyl album. I'm sure some of the dialogue is 'found' but much of it sounds just too weird. This is tape cut-up at it's very best. The second side is a collection of playground rhymes, harkening towards LEMON KITTENS, THE RESIDENTS & NURSE WITH WOUND in style, utilizing children's voices and instruments found in clasrooms to create a sound simultaneously naive, innocent & chilling. The old crackly recordings of piano & voice on the second track sound like music boxes all playing harmoniously contra to one another. The next piece uses found sound & loops, scratching sounds of mechanical toys winding down, fragments of piano to form a peaceful cacophony. The last track sounds like a nightmare equence from some 'B' movie. Innocent voices take a swipe at Barney The Dinosaur. I've known about this group for a long while now, but this is the first chance I have had to actually hear them. And everything they tell you is true - these guys take cutting and pasting audiotape to a whole new level. The humour is richly absurd, and the overall effect is both pleasing and curiously relaxing." bonnicon's discogs review

Style: Weird Wood

Format: LP
Label: Not On Label

Year: 1987

Condition: NM/VG+

One of the weirder pieces of wooden wax out there. It actually some kind of compilation since every track is different and I mean different. My favourite "different" track out here is that pseudo samba jam that might be a take on Coati Mundi's Prisoner Of My Principles (on 33) or just a damn freaky GEM. I don't have to tell you that it's just as rare, eh?

Year: 1987

Condition: NM/VG sticker on back

DIY Madness on this wonderful private release from 1987s Berlin. The variety of styles is remarkable and you might note critically that these two obviously young men have not elaborated a style of their own. Instead they try out their skills in various forms of Synth Pop and come up with unique gems in every direction they take. The approach is diletantish, the accomplishment is NOT.

Salzgitter's very own Kristall relesed two amazing 45s in the seventies and gained cult status among collectors of rare continental disco over the last years. When they finally got a record deal the sound changed but it's still amazing!

This private comp from the late 90 is sought after for the balearic jammer Meer-Rausch-Blau by Ubik. If you're an old fart like me and that melody sounds somehow familiar here's a hint... AND  - if you dig unusual sounds, that lush number is just the parasol on the experimental iceberg!

Style: Latin Jazz

Format: LP
Label: Feierwerk

Year: 1988

Condition: NM/VG+  

A private compilation presenting unknown Latin Jazz groups from late 80s Munich? Yes, please! There's three or four afro cuban tunes on this album that I can't talk about much since i don't understand it - too fast for me. But what I can tell you: it doesn't sound bavarian at all ;) The reason for buying this album are these two wonderful songs by Quintessenz who are actually only borderlining the term Latin Jazz. Their Ludenhausen, with that irresistible waltzy feel, might be the HIT of the album! Closely spaced with Kariba's Demasiado with a groove that sets you in motion instantly....

Style: Vocal Jazz / Experimental Contemporaries

Format: LP
Label: Polydor

Year: 1982

Condition: NM/NM

By far one of my favourite vocal jazz records made in Germany. If you dig the work of Monika Linges, Lauren Newton and Silvia Droste you need to hear this. A little more experimental than the average easy scat bossa ladies and mysteriously rare although released on Polydor. Anyway it's about the music and not the pressing quantities so please ...
