I'd like to know what rare German records you are looking for these days. What's the state of the art concerning German records raer (James Last and Les Humphries included)?I'm still looking for the Sexedelic soundtrack, Free Orbit (feat. Herbolzheimer and Udo Lindenberg), Charly Antolini Power Dozen - Atomic Drums (although Charly is a Swiss guy), Sinecerly P.T. by Peter Trunk, Jonny Teupen - Harpadelic, Mr. Circle, etc.But there are many other "more common" records that I still need: J??rgen Franke's budget pressings, Motherhood, Doldinger in general, Uve Shikora, other Eastern German records... and some librariesLet me know some raer and fast German braeks plaeze!

    i found that jonathan lp a couple weeks ago. yeah, nice drums, but a crap lp. sold it to sound library for $40. uhhhh. i could use that horselmat 45. the can stuff and some soundtracks is really all that comes to mind. i found an ass load of really cool easten european stuff in dusseldorf, hamburg and berlin. I'd be more on the eagle for that shit.

    yeah, jonathan sucks. the amayana label has some fantastic records though. did you find stuff on the Amiga label as well? Eastern Germany had some great musicians.

    horselmat? is that german? i thought it's a swedish LP featuring janne schaffer???

    which soundtracks? playgirl? negresco? there's a doldonger compilation from the 70s featuring sitar beat plus the motherhood recorded "i feel free" with the superb drum break (known from the peter nero sessions?)

    I got both Sunbirds LPs. You should go for the self titled. Zagara on Finger Records is terribly expensive, but not thaaaat good. Quite a few good grooves, but unfortunately each song has cheesy moments. The self titled is butter-ish though. Philip Catherine at his best.

    Niagara is cool. Make sure to buy Affire and SUB. Forget about the titties one, unless you want to hang it on the wall...

    not me. There're a bunch of breakbeat records, but hardly any surprising funky jazzy stuff. Most people over here are hunting after Brazilian fusion raer these days (Jazzanova, etc) but I don't feel that stuff

    There are some old pop/rock/beat/soul records that are OK though. Not in the sense of straight funk or groove, but still.

    Ask dreskiboogie. We found nothing even though we went to 5-6 record stores.

    Mike Nock Underground Between Or Beyond MPS 1970

    I never got to listen to that one. Is it really that good. That other Mike Nock stuff I bought was kinda mediocre?! Is Between or Beyond is only good LP?

    Sorry... can't help. But Amon Duul isn't even that rare over here. Mostly expensive, but not rare. Same goes for Popul Vuh. The store in my old hometown sells Popul Vuh from time to time. I don't like most Krautrock though. I still need that Motherhood LP. Most people would say it's a kraut record, but I disagree. Doldinger is playing with Lothar Meid and others. Should be Jazz.

    A friend of mine is always meets Lothar Meid (Amon Duul bassist) at a pub near Stuttgart. They know each other quite well. I should ask her to ask Lothar about his records, huh?

    This is the Fourth Way group lineup without Michael White, so its piano bass drums and no violin....and yeah its dope, Mike Nock using ringmodulator on the keys also, Mclure on fenderbass and Marshalls drums sounding real crisp.

    it's good, but not rare at all. i wouldn't drop much money on it. i think there was a wax poetics article online with soundclips from some james last lps

  • upskibooupskiboo 2,396 Posts
    yo Grope, ringmodulator-wise, did you ever find the Overdrive (Tempo 1972)record, reissued as Kristian Schultze Set, the OG has to be mega rare, killer, theres a track, Ambiualens, damn that shits dope!

    What's up with that Sunbirds LP? I've been hearing about that for years.

    Sunbirds have two LPs. First (self titled - recorded 1971) featuring Klaus Weiss, Jimmy Woode, Philip Catherine, Fritz Pauer, Ferdinand Povel and Juan Romero. Hard to describe the style. Jazz Funk with Psych influences? There are no drum breaks or remarkable loops, but the songs are beautiful non-the-less . Composed by Fritz Pauer (piano and organ player fro Austria of ORF fame), Jimmy Woode and Catherine. Fritz has some good MPS LPs as well. The self titled Sunbirds is on BASF. Kinda like a MPS sub. One of my all-time favorite records. I like "Blues for D.S." a lot. And "Sunbirds". Great tunes.

    The Zagara LP by the Sunbirds on Finger Records / Polydor is super rare. Klaus Weiss on drums, Fritz Pauer, Ferdinand Povel, Leschek Zadlo, Lucas Costa, Jimmy Woode, Ron Carter, Rafael Waeber, Norman Tolbert. recorded 1972. Some cheesy moments due to extended flute solos. Fritz Pauer composed all songs, except "Homecoming" that was written by Woode. Some nice intros. But they didn't play each songs in 4/4. Sampling would be difficult.

    I like the self titled better. Incredible music. One of the few true Jazz Funk records out of Germany. Almost CTI-ich or KUDU-ish!!! BIG YIKES.
