Marina Records proudly presents
The In-Kraut
-- twenty handpicked soul, beat, now sound, mod and soundtrack gems from Germany -- all recorded between 1966 and 1974. Among them many Kraut-pleasin' obscurities and long-forgotten nuggets that appear now for the very first time on CD. While the musical climate in Germany of the late '60s and early '70s was clearly dominated by horrible Schlagers, nevertheless, records of outstanding class were cut with Teutonic precision. Just check out "Gemini" by
Günter Noris
, a stomping piano-led instrumental worthy of
Ramsey Lewis
. Or the proto-funk of
Erwin Halletz
"Das Stundenhotel Von St. Pauli" -- a tight soundtrack groover clearly inspired by
James Brown
. Or the elegantly sweeping "Naturally Stoned" by
Helmut Zacharias
with more than a trace of a brilliant
John Barry
arrangement, and the
Blood Sweat & Tears
-inspired "Molotow Cocktail Party" by
Vivi Bach & Dietmar Schönherr
. The guys behind these productions were usually slick jazz players and studio musicians from the tightest orchestras of the country. Somehow these middle-aged men knew how to move the Kraut and adapt their skills to the swinging sixties. Even
Peter Thomas
, one of Germany's best known film composers, chose to tackle
The Stones
' "Jumpin' Jack Flash," in very unique and mad fashion. And the man behind
Memphis Black
's ultra-rare breakbeat monster "Why Don't You Play The Organ, Man" is none other than
Ingfried Hoffmann
of the acclaimed
Klaus Doldinger Quartet
. Check out the truly smoking drugsploitation nugget "Marihuana Mantra" by
Kuno & The Marihuana Brass
, right alongside
Werner Müller
's hilarious "Bodybuilding," an intoxicating sexy groover. And then there's
Bill Lawrence
's "Pussy Baby" -- a track that has to be heard to be believed. Even international stars like
France Gall
went Kraut-a-delic in the '60s. "Hippie Hippie," a bubbly "love and peace" ditty, was especially written and produced for the German market.
Heidi Brühl
decided to update her sound, replete with a psychedelic guitar solo and a fantastic bassline.
The In-Kraut
was compiled and annotated by
Stefan Kassel
and
Frank Jastfelder
who also compiled two acclaimed
Lalo Schifrin
anthologies, several volumes of Universal's
Get Easy!
series, the
Mad Mad World Of Soundtracks
compilations, and retrospectives of the work of
Gary McFarland
,
Horst Jankowski
,
Lee Hazlewood
and other cool cats.
