Amiga Blues Band - 04-May-07 12:18 AM
This is a little piece of music history, because the "Amiga Blues Band" never really exists. The members of this project were just members of other GDR blues and rock bands. It was actually founded as a cover band and they came together to make just one record named "Not Fade Away". It was a great success and one of the best blues bands in the GDR. Absolutely well worth listening!

Paco De Lucía - Friday Night In San Francisco - 03-Mar-07 12:11 AM
This is really the best of what I ever heard in this genre. This live recordings brings a legendary concert of three legendary guitar players right at home to you. It is a kind of jazz with strong influences of spanish classical guitar. You will hear extatic shouts by the audience amd it is absolutely fun to listen to it, but if you want to learn to play the guitar, you shouldn't...
Boom Generation - Nosedive - 27-Feb-07 10:15 AM
This is, in my opinion, a underestimated record. Track A1 is energizing with a simple, but cool bassline and bassdrum accentuated by kind of psychedelic sounds few and far between. A2 is more dominated by an arpeggio, but energizing as well. Between A2 and A3 the change happens suddenly without any announcement. Velocity changes from around 125 bpm to around 90 bpm. So atleast A3 is more suitable for chillout sessions. I think, this also applies to B1 and B2, although they are not downtempo. These are beautiful tracks with smooth bassdrums, psychedelic soundscapes and little arpeggios dancing on it. When you'll hear it you'll mean, you have heard it before - and surely you have. Those are these kind of tracks, that sounds familiar to everybody and nobody knows the artist...
City (3) - Am Fenster - 27-Feb-07 03:22 AM
This album, especially side B, marks the breakthrough of the band in 1980. "Am Fenster" (means: At The Window) was placed in the charts of both german countries for several weeks, partly #1 (at least in the GDR). It is a kind of psychedelic rock with and excellent arrangement. Georgi Gogow plays an incredible violin over almost the whole song. The lyrics of this song don't telling a clear story. It describes kind of feelings with innuendoes and subtle phrases.
Lyrics on side A are more clear and treat of problems like drink'n drive, a woman etc. The music is also pure rock.
All in all a very fine album from that time from that country.
Pink Floyd - The Wall - 27-Feb-07 03:22 AM
This is really a markstone in music history. Actually it's the soundtrack to the animated movie picture "The Wall" (absolutely well worth seeing). It is about loneliness, hunger for love, drug influences, Vera Lynn and other youth time problems. It also stands for an antagonism to the establishment and could be interpreted to level an accusation at the political system.
A "must-have"!
