    All I knew about them previously that their sublabel Spiegelei ("fried egg" - with a rad label graphic of a fried egg on a pan) put out some rad Krautrock and acid folk records.

    German Wikipedia has a pretty exhaustive entry on them, though:

    If your German is as shitty as mine, Google Translation can help:

    Hi Amir,

    I`m quite sure that inercord and Intersound where not connected to each other. I have nearly 2/3 of the intersound catalouge and I listened to all of them so far. Beside the anesis (of which I prefer the stripped down underscore version), these are the standouts:
    http://www.discogs.com/Rias-Orchestra-The-conducted-by-Helmuth-Brandenburg-Babylon-AMC/release/2738880
    http://www.discogs.com/Etienne-Cap-And-His-Orchestra-Flight-Of-Fancy/release/1474488

    Both of them contain awesome disco and funk cuts, which i play out regulary to good response on the dancefloor.
    The rest of their catalouge sounds like what you expect from a late 70s/80s euro library label. Sometimes quitie easy and moody sounding stuff with some interesting moments sprinkled in.

    Co-sign on Helmuth Brandenburg:



    I'm pretty sure the two labels aren't connected in any way. Intersound is a pure library label with a lot of shitty 80s output.
    Intercord is a pretty diverse label. There definitely is some heat on there.

    Here's something I can name from the top of my head:



    Das Kriminalmuseum - a nice collection of late 60s German B-Movie thriller themes. Peter Thomas style.



    -----------------------------------------------------------------



    Die Kette OST 45 - Very rare titletrack to a german public TV-Crime flick written by Dieter Reith. Late 70s disco-funk with odd german lyrics.



    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    Intercord was the label Manfred Krug signed to when he moved over from GDR to western Germany. Is first relase "Da bist Du ja" is so-so. Has a few nice slow bossa tracks but nothing comparable to his Amiga releases. Intercord put out a double-LP with all the ggod tracks from his GDR albums named "Lieder von dr??ben".



    For anyone who hasn't got the Manfred Krug tracks like "Wenn der Urlaub kommt", "Verdammt", "Hau ab" etc. this is good way to get all his best tracks for cheap.

    Heidelinde Weis also has some good stuff on Intercord.




    I'll add on if there's more time.
