AMON DUUL II - HIJACK (Revisited REV 091: DP) CD £13.00 - This lived up to its title & "hijacked" from various different types of music, tango's & Bavarian folk music amongst them. It was a more trendy side-step from the songs on "Vive La Trance". © 1974.

AMON DUUL II - MADE IN GERMANY (Revisited 092: DP) CD £13.00 - Their 1975 2LP complete on 1 CD! The Duul "opera" on post-war Germany & lyrically their ultimate stab at German society, attitudes, the media, the record industry, etc. Similar in style to "Hijack", often resembling Slapp Happy.

# DEUTER - NADA HIMALAYA (New Earth NE 9706-2) CD ex+/m £9.00 - Another case of "the bells, the bells!", or actually: Tibetan bells, singing bowls, & a little use of the recording of a mountain stream. © 1997.

EMMA MYLDENBERGER - TOUR DE TRANCE (Garden of Delights CD 127: 4xBT) CD £14.00 - LP #2, with considerably longer tracks & much more instrumental interplay, going beyond the pioneering music of Between or Third Ear Band, mysteriously ethnic & medieval, not really rock but with a lively rock energy, surprising for what was still a totally acoustic ensemble.

FRUMPY - ALL WILL BE CHANGED (Revisited SPV 30842: DP) CD £13.00 - Featuring the extraordinary voice of Inga Rumpf & the classical keyboards of Jean-Jacques Kravetz, Frumpy played a powerful blues-spiced prog, with lots of Krautrock invention & experimentation. © 1970.

GAM - 1976 (Auricle AMCDR 021) CDR £7.00 - A lost Krautrock legend! For Ash Ra Tempel, Ozric Tentacles, Steve Hillage, Pink Floyd space-rockers. This unique archive session recording is high fired improvised rock with lots of psychedelic fire!

# GURU GURU - MANI IN GERMANI (Funfundvierzig 45130: DP) CD £12.00 - Patchy 1981 album, probably due to it being a transition in line-up, with Helmut Hattler, Ingo Bischof, etc. It also features one of the world's silliest covers: Mani in a sink!

NEU! - NEU! (Germanofon 941025) CD ex/ex £8.00 - The Klaus Dinger & Michael Rother duo of Neu! were born out of the original Kraftwerk 1st LP line-up, & took the metronimic Kraftwerky beat to more aggressive guitar fronted realms. Highly influential & an all-time classic! © 1972.

MANI NEUMEIER & GUESTS - TERRA AMPHIBIA 2 (Captain Trip CTCD-108, Japan) CD £15.00 - More of a hybrid of recent Guru Guru incarnations than #1, with Archetti (Guru Guru & Tiere Der Nacht) & Reffert (Flute & Voice & late-1980's Guru Guru) making a more upbeat music.

OUT OF FOCUS - NOT TOO LATE (Cosmic Egg UTCE 001) CD £12.00 - (Cosmic Egg UTCE 001: 2nd pressing) CD £11.00 - Lost for 25 years, this is very much in the spirit of LP1 from "Four Letter Monday Afternoon" with great Out Of Focus songs, & brilliant Softs "Third" era cum Embryo instrumentals!

Note that 1 track from "Oizzo No" is omitted.

BERTRAND DUBEDOUT - AUX LAMPIONS (Metamkine MKCD012) 3"CD £6.00 - Oddly, this doesn't seem like musique-concret in the normal sense, as each piece seems to be based around instruments, the first an accordion, the second percussion, & the third is a mixture of these. Often, I'm reminded in a way of Pierre Henry's "Variations For A Door & A Sigh", however this is much more serious & lacks Pierre's humour. (19 minutes duration.)

DAVID HINDMARCH - THE DEVIL'S WAVE (Auricle AMCDR 179) CDR £7.00 - Electroacoustic works of great invention by Leicester's uniquely talented blind musician. Largely, David's method of sound construction is in the vein of INA.GRM artists like Parmegiani, Bayle or Zanesi, although his compositional style is quite different.
