Style: Sade

Format: LP
Label: Epic

Year: 1984

Condition: NM/VG+

If anyone should wonder why this album was such a success - it's a wonderful record!! Including two of their biggest hits Hang On To Your Love and Smooth Operator. Don't buy a 180g reissue for 30€ ...

Style: Street Soul infused Pop

Format: LP
Label: Cooltempo

Year: 1990

Only a few crossover soul productions of that time aged that well!!

Almost every tune here is a subtle hit and just won't get boring...

Style: Supermax at their BEST

Format: 12"
Label: Elektra (Ger)

Year: 1979

Condition: VG+/VG

If I was allowed to keep only one Supermax record it'd be this. Both sides are great tracks but that mystic dancer Alassio is pretty hard to beat. German Maxi Sound Single!

Style: Ambient / New Age

Format: LP
Label: Marlboro

Year: 1989

Condition: VG+/VG soc

What the hell did the people at Marlboro (yes the stupid cowboy ciggies) think when they teamed up with Virgin to establish a label and sign someone so gentle and esoteric like Andreas von Wangenheim? Change the whole cowboy image by releasing New Age music??

Whatever they thought - it's just fantastic that they released these wonderful songs. Calling it "all killer, no filler" doesn't really fit the New Age vibe, huh? But hey it's Marlboro :)  and it's shotgun recommended! And you might recognize one of the key tracks from my Dezember mix for testpressing from a few years ago.

Style: Mysterious Pop / Unintentional Breaks

Format: LP
Label: Virgin

Year: 1991

Condition: NM/VG+

In the shadows of Daniel Lanois' Acadie and Chris Isaak's bayou grooves this mighty fine album gaind little recognition wen it came out. Just listen to the breakbeat driven Dark Archer and tell the world they were all wrong in 1991!

Style: Balearic Pop / Shouldhavebeenahit

Format: 12"
Label: WEA

Year: 1990

Condition: NM/VG+

Huge Hit Alert here!! I can't believe that this one didn't chart in 1990!?!

It brings insane midtempo action (102 BPM) for the chilled dancefloor in 3 different mixes of which the Dance Edit is the sharpest with that sick bassline being most prominent. The Orient Version whas a nice intro if mixing it in is not an option

Style: Ambient

Format: LP
Label: Opal

Year: 1988

Condition: NM/VG+

The names on the cover are quite small so I will repeat (also to reassure me that it's not a dream): Lydia Theremin & Misha Mahlin, Brian Eno, Laraaji, Daniel Lanois, Harold Budd, Roger Eno, Michael Brook and John Paul Jones. Expect lots of blissful soundscapes, deep experimentation AND the almighty Tension Block.

Format: LP
Label: Intercord

Year: 1976

Rupert Hines Quantum Jump's first album and probably their best. Including the well known Jams Captain Boogaloo and Lone Ranger. But the real magic is happening At The Bottom Of The Sea or simply at the end of the record. Listen to the first clip!!

Hits for 90s ambient floors, Acid elektro bangers and proto IDM  gems. People have been reproducing the style of Thomas P. Heckmann's tunes for ages. Here's the repress of the real deal released in 1994. I have slept on this remastered 25th anniversary reissue for years and happily secured a few copies before it's gone again.

Label: CBS

Year: 1988

Condition: VG+/VG+

Are my ears deceiving me or is this this the strongest Sade album out there? A true beauty all the way through and a gentle must... Seriously one of my favourite pop records of all times. Maybe it's the Compass Point Studio magic!?! "I won't pretend, that I intend to stop living..."

Format: 12"
Label: London

Year: 1987

Condition: NM/VG+

You might wonder why I label this fantastic record by a US nightingale as street soul? Just listen to it  - - -  such the magic anthem. I taped it from the radio in 88 and still love it like the first day. Mantronik for president of the I.S.S.A. (International Street Soul Association)!

Condition: M/M

A while ago I found my og KMS copy of Fix pretty rinsed. Seeing that there is a good sounding reissue I took the chance and ordered on more. Anyone into some seminal Orlando Voorn? These pumping 136 BPM of Flash should move even dropdead 20 year olds. From The Ghetto is a tad slower but mad funky!!

Style: Sensual Poetry meets Streestoul

Format: CD
Label: Paisley Park

Year: 1991

Condition: NM/VG+  

If it were for Prince the record would be beatless (á la Whispering Dandelions). Since Warner wasn't with that the master dropped out of production. Now you would think that the outcome might be poor... haha it isn't. It's in fact a masterpiece in my books! And it has been a longtime dream of mine to listen to the record how Prince had imagined it. Some dreams stay dreams. This album is one! Try to find it on LP...

Condition: NM/VG+

This overlooked and almost forgotten Machester Rave gem has so many hits that I want to shout. But I'll keep cool and save you the all caps business if you promise to listen attentively. The soundclip is over 10 minutes long due to the mass of quality cuts. Masterpiece!
