Pretty sure Trojan only licensed the album to Philips Nigeria.

Despite its obscurity this is generic poprock w/out reggae or new wave influences.

Stellar live recording of a gig in an old village cinema in the middle of nowhere (Gammelsdorf/Bavaria, Pop 500). Vitus played four concerts there (1988, 89, 91/supported by the earliest incarnation of Cathedral, 92/ with Count Raven singer Christian...

Most of this tracks sound like what might have happened if David Allen had asked Manuel Göttsching to record the basic guitar parts for Actuel era Gong. Leroys sole vocal part is top notch too.

John ALWAYS gave his private press records away nearly for free, which probably explains the cheapo prices. In my book SG were a testament to the original spirit of underground culture. Free music for folks with open ears.
It should be noted that... See full review |

Garage RnR enthusiast and Off Label honcho Johnny Hanke as a member of a prima era DM act. Splendid.

Post-Flat Earth Society punk private press straight outta Gersthofen. Hog were a killer live band clearly inspired by The Sound Of London ca. 78, esp. X Ray Spex. Guenther formed the Rabid Dogs around 1979, but his first band remains undocumented. Of...

A: Schlager, not unlike most Tarantel releases
B: Beat for squares, with a slight organ touch in the mix, quite charming. |

Underrated local private release. Pretty sure this got never proper distribution. Imagine AG Geige would have met 18year old Manfred Krug before he took singing lessons. Wessie boys Oliber and Martin took their inspiration from by then obscure GDR...

For my money this album has one remarkable song, Jetzt langts. 1981 westgerman rock w/out any knowledge of new radical culture, in all its glory and misery.

A is a turkey, B brings the Beatles to their natural conclusion: Schlager.
I'm curious why they recorded in Switzerland. |

Click "Alpensee" right next and get transcended, Julian Cope style. The whole first side of this platter rules. Farout and way beyond any bavarian K-Rock by the number contemps. What a surprise. A peak for both Echokammer and the Police dudes.

Raga Rasa: File this somewhere between Ravi Shankar (ca. 69) and NYC loft chamber jazz (ca. 77). It's that good. Pretty sure NNCK and Sunburned associates would agree.

The Real Life: Somewhere in a Power Pop neighborhood without crunch, but def a winner.
Seeing You: They had way better songs in their 80s live sets. |
|
Roll On Movie shows potential as a moody Haircut 100 ripoff (10 years after the goldrush) while the remaining songs lack any kind of attraction. A pleasant Euro bin find not worth any non thrift store price.

Played at 33rpm another wonderful dimension opens: The Residents as Jazzbos.

Best band name? For real?
(If anything they had one of the most explosive rhythm sections of their era) |

Reich Der Träume originally appeared on Lutz Ulbrich - Lüül in 1981. Vinyl only.

One of a kind mysterious recordings. Sounds, song sequencing and the players attitude are channeling Ethnic Folkways Records best 60s wax into a burnt out midwestern basement behind a record store.
