Style: Blissfull Oddities

Format: LP
Label: Brain

Year: 1982

Condition: NM/VG

My favourite Eroc album including those incredibly beautiful ambient / hanseatic tunes Hundertwasser, Tausendwasser and Von Der Insel. The latter sounds like the blueprint for Herbert's Cafe De Flore to my ears!!! The cosmic Krieg der Zwerge isn't bad either...

LISTEN!

Format: LP
Label: Vertigo

Year: 1980

Condition: NM/VG+

Style: Deep Downtempo / Cosmic Throb / Sensitive Soft Rock

Format: 12"

Label: When Doves Cry

Year: 2021

Condition: M/M

It’s a strange world we’re living in and these addictive cuts mirror it well.

Dancing all night in cheerful melancholy with two strictly limited edits.

The A-side renders gothic synth pop at cruising tempo, spinning a web of tape delay as your mind unravels. A bassline throbs, pistons hiss and a paranoia takes hold of an icy vocal. Lose yourself in the otherwhere.

We step into a pristine wilderness on the B-side, stately pads gliding over a supple rhythm section while tender chimes tug at your heartstrings. Emotion abounds on an instrumental which never was. Big boys do cry, and this dove’s weeping over broken wings…

Label: Strangelove

Year: 2021

Condition: M/M 

When I found my first copy of one of Ferger's 45s in a Hamburg record store in the early 2010s I was sold immedietaly. Only to find out these records were mad difficult rto come by. Finally these incredible jams from Ferger's mad rare 45s are available again!! But what do I know? Here's the real salesnote "Hypnotic ambient pieces written for short film swirl amongst the electronic/electrified- unreleased versions of ‘Destiny’ and ‘Candlelight’ allude to his Mindgames LP to come, while the album culminates in the highlights ‘Night Rituale’ and ‘Childrens Mind’ - Intoxicating amalgalms of Sjunne’s influences & inspiration, they unknowingly hint at Mkwaju Ensemble and other key Japanese contemporaries and bear witness to the Swede’s deep Eastern philosophical outlook."

curious?

Mellow fusion by dutch guitar master Jan Akkerman. He also plays bass and synths on this one. Also on Synths - Joachim Kühn... check out the ambient jam Cool In The Shadow and you may see why I call this my favourite Akkerman LP.

Style: Various / Deviant Pop

Format: LP
Label: Poly-Bär (Private)

Year: 198?

Condition: NM/VG+

I have no clue why I even listened to this odd compilation. A giveaway from a pharma company. bäh! Maybe it has to do with my "private" fetish. And in this case I need to thank my private fetish for the strong curiosity. This wonderful & highly eccentric "deviant pop" pearl by Christos & Zodiac would have never made it into my life without it...

Style:  Funky Soul / Disco

Format: LP
Label: Touchstone

Year: 1979

Condition: NM/VG+   

Rediscovered this fine record lately when "car listening" to a 15 year old cd with various tracks on it. Crazy that it still plays ; ) What's It All About has been on repeat for at least half an hour.  So nice with the sunshine... and there's more of these upright & uplifting tunes on the LP. Also an interesting band setup. Jeff Beck's drummer Richard Bailey, next to Taj Mahals Steel drum player Robert Greenwich. Van Morrison & Richard Moorcock's bass buddy Kuma Harada meets Denny Diaz from Steely Dan and the Gap Band's Glen Nighhtingale on guitars. Oisbisa's man on keys Robert Bailey also in the boat.

Style: Sleazy Disco

Format: LP
Label: Philips

Year: 1979

Condition: NM/VG+

All phazers set on SLEAZE when the mighty Witchcraft bedazzles you.

Did I say phazers? Maybe because of the phased title track - a heck of a slow disco gem. And there's more! The sizzling percussion jam One Minute Samba for example, or the supersleazy Space Age Romance ...
