Dunk your head into this delicious hot cheese and dance into eternity.

Format: LP
Label: Connyland

Year: 198?

Condition: NM/VG+

Two sidefilling journeys of completely stoned krautrock. One is called Birth Of Paradise and the other one At The Rainbow's End. You might guess where that leads you ;) Pretty much under the radar as it looks like a cheap library record. Get digging or give me all your loot!

Style: Odd Pop / Loner Synth Pop

Format: LP
Label: Rayon

Year: 198?

Condition: NM/VG+ (small cut top left)

A seldom seen beauty. It actually took some years to see another copy after discovering this in an archive. Despite sounding pretty pop(ular) it never got any recognition. Sadly I must say because that mix of Synth Pop vibes, Italo Disco naivety and cheesy romance is actually amazing!

Style: Industrial Dances

Format: LP
Label: New International

Year: 1990

Condition: NM/NM

A collection of unreleased gems and "hits" from their 80s LPs. This might sound promising if you're aware of the profound richness of the Bo'Qu guys. To thos who don't really know what to expect from these psychedelic patterns on the cover - there are some hard to beat slow industrial killers with pure organic energy among them. The long soundclip will help you understand why I am making such a fuss about this album!!

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. Also on Lucky Are Those Who Hear The Birds Sing

First of all: the saxophone on the cover is rather small. Just like the chances to find this one in the recordshop tomorrow ;) I'd love to write pages about this marvel*, but I don't have the time right now. I need to listen to it again...

Condition: NM/VG+

A highly addictive german cover of Rupert Holmes' Him. Seriously - don't listen to this if you can't stand sweets - even worse - sweets that won't go out of your head. I wonder if they lost a lawsuit against Holmes since the record is completely unavailable...

WOW! This mixed bag of Folk, Prog and Fusion by former Atlas members from Sweden really is something else. Everytime one of their songs pops up randomly in a playlist on my computer I have to look up what it is. Surprise, suprise - Mosaik again!

Style: Folk-Jazz

Format: LP
Label: TTS (Private?)

Year: 1983

Condition: NM/VG+  incl. insert and xeroxed newspaper bits

Folk-Jazz? Mmh, maybe it sounds more like a mix of Jazz and Progressive. Probably the intense use of the flute gives me that folky feel. Ad Libitum are actually playing with various styles on their only album. On side A we find mostly covers. Two Focus compositions (House Of The King, Anonymus- Janis-Anonymus), one by Ekseption (Rondo Alla Turka), a great flute lead Take Five rework as well as a surprisingly good cover of Stevie Wonder's You Are The Sunshine Of My Life. On the b-side there 's just one: Blood Sweat and Tear's Sometimes in Winter. The remaining four tunes are self penned. And these are the secret hits of the album. My fave is Ottochen's Mondfahrt. Starts off very "jazzy" played over an uptempo disco beat, breaking down into a desert storm like synth & electric piano part - yet returning to the uptempo flute disco again. Visionen and Persischer Markt are highlights as well.

Style: Private Kraut

Completely under the radar aka ungoogleable Krautrock with prog elements and a wonderfully stoned B-Side ;) Dark Cloud is incredibly chilled with a kind of a subtle reggae rhythm...

Style: Organic Heaven

Format: LP
Label: PDI

Year: 1987

Condition: NM/VG tear on the back

Usually filed under Free-Jazz (mostly because of Fernández's other albums) this organic masterpiece might not get the ercognition it deserves. Just listen to Desert (1st in the clip) and know might understand my excitement.

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?

When some friends, all hobby musicians or non musicians, gather to record some tunes it can go all wrong. Or totally all right. It depends on your point of view! If you dig the immense freedom of DIY listen ton these funky ass bohemiens do their thing. Weirdo Disko, odd Kraut-Funk, and more deviant bastards!
