France Gall - Computer Nr. 3 / Alle Reden Von Der Liebe - 03-Oct-08 05:25 PM
Um, well (cough), this is France Gall. Until now, before I accidentially came across this one, I used to run away as soon as I noticed myself listening to one of her bizarre (German speaking) Schlager products. But this one baffled me big time. She is actually singing in there about what we would call online-dating today. Finding a partner with the help of computers and its databases and it is all about technology, science and "electron energy". all that in a Schlager song in 1968. go figure! meanwhile I have watched an original video where she sang at the German Schlager festival in Berlin back then looking for her "boy" in "Der Computer Nr. 3", according to her appearance it must have been no task, I suppose.
anyway, I cant wait to hold this obscurity in my hands!
Potato Chips, The - Roxann'es Real Fat - 02-Mar-08 02:48 PM
This one had everything what it takes for a cool oldskool-electro mover: the sound, the beats and the funkyness are fine here. disturbingly the sad part is the record lacks of utter political correctness, even for 1984, as the lyrics make fun at the expenses of fat women and their feelings. concerning this, Ive regarded that as more or less immature and primitive macho shit destroying an otherwise good production. I think what a pity it contains no real instrumental version in order to make your own rhymes on it...
Dancer - Number Nine - 05-Dec-06 11:14 PM
yeah, its all about sex. the highlight is surely the "Bedroom Mix" which is a realized acoustic blow-job in the first place. "Stars On Number Nine" uses alienated samples from Michael Jacksons "Bad" release but is overall a good funky dance track perfectly fitting in a set of oldskool tunes. the whole EP is a solid piece of music I wont miss to own.
Future, The (2) - Nuclear Holocaust - 18-May-06 03:07 AM
TOP oldskool electro-slammer released at the heyday of this genre and it contains a political component as it is a statement against the Cold War. Anologue repetitive pattern as usual for that time but hardly to exceed in funkyness compared to nowadays productions...
Max Tundra - Children At Play - 26-May-05 09:58 AM
I learned to love this record. The main track on side A starts with a short child melody (which IMO sounds better played at 45 rpm) slightly distorted from time to time. It then turns into drillnbass mode with a jazzy attitude. I know many people who hate the loud trumpet solo line which appears in the middle of the track. The best part is sure the last third because of the nice vocal sequence in it, the beats become less there and vanish at the end while vocal melody remains, hardly understandable talking in the background is noticable. The other tune on the flipside is not bad as well, DJs know how to use it properly...
