Style: Cosmic Rain

Format: LP
Label: X-Records

Year: 1982

Condition: NM/VG

One of Peter Hauke's masterpieces (together with the TCP) imho.

Johnny Davis brought in some boogie elements to the usual Hauke / Carey / Schönherz madness. Forget about the few rock songs on the record and dance in the Rain (2007 Tako signature track), in Space, to the boogie down Party Music and slip into something cozy to the incredibly smooth emotional shower Never Felt This Way Before!

LISTEN! LISTEN! LISTEN! LISTEN!

 
Style: Weird Cosmos

Style: Spiritual Blessings

Format: LP
Label: WRST  (Private)

Year: 1982

Condition: VG+/VG+

This is one of my personal holy grails. I have been trying to license this unbelievable record for years and finally it didn't work out. The artists have fallen with the buddhist sect that still owns the rights. Sad story but the music is so damn beautiful that it doesn't hurt! This copy - like all copies i've had over the last 14 years - plays with background crackles. There are no real scratches - it's a production problem and you will not find a copy without light crcakling here and there...

Style: Elektronik

Format: LP
Label: Not On Label / Private

Year: 1980

Condition: NM/VG painted tear, seamwear

One of the hardest to find german private press Elektronik LPs. TOm Und CHarly from Bavaria recorded this deep and trippy album in 1980. It's basically synths and drums. The sound is deep and will appeal to friends of the drone. At times it reminds me of Wolfgang Bock's Cycles but the atmosphere in Traumwerk is darker.

Style: Acid Kraut

Format: LP
Label: Homegrown Special (Private)

Year: 1982

Condition: NM/VG+  

An unexpected acid folk nugget from Germany. Herberg really nails it on his second and harder to find album. Looks like another one of those traditional pingerpicking things but it's a psychedelic bomb exploding very gently. The b-side has a strong apricot brandy taste. Especially the 14 minute long jam Leaving  L.A. "... So watch the clouds, They are drifting in the sky, And feel the river, He's floating by, bye, bye, good bye. And there ain't no reason why , You should look up and cry, No Message will reach you, And no god will teach you, The Reason Why. You know LSD and Alice dies, Paranoid In Paradise, And I'm trying to leave Los Angeles..."

LISTEN!

 
Style: Westcoast To Arabia

Format: LP
Label: Prom

Year: 1976

Condition: NM*/VG+

ODDEST under the radar singer songwriter album including some fantastic AOR floaters and that sick eight minute long oriental influenced jam M'Rock'n'Roll featuring Klaus Weiss on drums, Dave King on ARP Bass, Thor Baldursson on Moog and Jürgen Koppers on the konsole. * I have been reported a pressing defect on the oriental jam that causes skips on most turntables. I'll inlcude a CDr with the said track playing through and an amazing Andre Pahl edit.

Style: Loner Kraut

Format: LP
Label: Not on Label

Year: 1985

Condition: VG+/VG+

Mr. Minio played all the instruments on this mighty fine Blues Kraut Funk basterd. Since he's coming from the 6 stringed thing you can expect an accent. A private release that hardly shows up, if at all.

Label:  Virgin (Ger)

Year:  1983

Condition: NM/NM

What a cover! On top of that the turkish Band Kobra (at that time living in Germany, maybe still now?) plays excellent oriental music somewhere between Funk and Prog. Check out the amazing tune Nargile. If you dig the sound of a bong over turkish funk, this one's going to make you dance like a derwish. German only release.

Synth Pop meets Balearic - when I first found a copy it reminded me of that Romie Singh album and this hasn't changed over the years. This one should have been a hit album back in the days. Sadly people have slept on it big time. You hear the alarm clock?
