On the road again…

A new year, a new business trip for my beloved wife @frausey ❤️‍🔥, a new adventure. Once again I have the pleasure to accompany her and this time we are travelling to India, where we will also be celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary! Let’s also see what this trip brings musically.

I will report back. 🇮🇳

Record of the week: Shannon - Let the music play

Record of the week: Shannon - Let the music play

You can’t have enough versions of some classics.

„Let the music play“ reminds me of my early teenage years like no other song. It felt like it was playing in every bumper car ride at every fairground.

Brenda Shannon Greene made her commercial breakthrough with it in 1983, the follow-up single „Give me tonight“ was only moderately successful (but musically good, in my opinion) and then her big success was history again. What remains is a extra cool electro-dance track, a must for every 80s party. 🔥

This is also music from the 80s: „The Love Cats“ by The Cure, released in 1983 and the band’s first top ten hit in the UK.

This 7" is harder to find and a bit more expensive. But who can resist such a classic?

Record of the week: Weather Girls - It’s raining men

A little 7“ for every 80s party where the dancefloor won’t stay empty! The song was released as a single in 1982 and became a global hit a year later. An absolute classic!

And one of the Weather Girls, Izora Armstead, who died in 2004, even lived in our home town, the cosmopolitan city of Braunshardt!

Aah, Signor Rossi, what child of the 60s/70s doesn’t know him?

They weren’t just cartoons, the films with Mr Rossi, the clever dog Gaston, the tyrannical boss and the funny fairy were full of philosophy and depth, accompanied by imaginative, sometimes psychedelic drawings. I loved the films as a child and watched them on television with my mother over and over again. Finally, the films had a soundtrack that I can still remember to this day, and not just the theme tune. And this soundtrack is also available on vinyl for quite some time. Joy!

Viva la felicità!

Bridges to Babylon was released in 1997 and a commercial success. But more importantly, it’s also a very good album.

The list of guest musicians alone is awesome: Waddy Wachtel, Don Was, Meshell Ndegeocello, Billy Preston, Wayne Shorter and many more.

Record of the week: Rolling Stones - Dirty work

What is there to say about this Stones album? The cover artwork is terrible, just creepy 80s style. The majority of critics regard it as a below-average album by the Stones and it is often considered their weakest work. And the collaboration between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards was at its lowest point.

Anyway: I like the version of „Harlem Shuffle“ and „One hit (to the body)“ and „Dirty work“ are also cool songs for my taste. I actually don’t think this album is that bad. At least there are weaker ones in my opinion. But that’s a matter of taste, of course…

London is the place for me, Vol. 2

This sweet double LP compilation brings us Calypso, Kwela, Highlife and Jazz from post-war London. A groovy journey through time with musical influences from the Caribbean and Africa and popular artists like Mona Baptiste and Lord Kitchener, to name just two.

And who can resist an album that comes from a label with the great name "Honest Jon"?

Record of the week: Linton Kwesi Johnson - Forces of victory

"Forces of victory" is the second album by the British poet and Reggae musician Linton Kwesi Johnson, released in 1979.

In his lyrics LKJ formulates a clear critique of England’s capitalist society. His experiences with racism, unemployment and violence are at the heart of this. A contemporary document that is unfortunately still relevant today.

Record of the week: Makebo - Belief

Maxim Butylev, aka Makebo is a Russian DJ and producer and this little 12“ EP gem is full of relaxed Deep House grooves. I’m not a real House music fan, but these chilled sounds with Tribal and Folktronica influences got me going straight away (I’m not that familiar with these genres. Sorry, if the categorisation is not correct). Anyway, this 12" will find its way to the record player next Thursday at the @centralstationdarmstadt.

Record of the week: Dakhabrakha - Shlyakh (The Bed

Record of the week: Dakhabrakha - Shlyakh (The Bedouin Reworks of Dakhabrakha)

DakhaBrakha is a music project from the Ukraine, founded at a Kiev centre for contemporary art. The music is a wild mix of Ukrainian music, influences from other world music and contemporary music, Pop and Alternative, very exciting and varied (the band themselves call it "Ethno-Chaos"). Unfortunately, I have not yet seen or heard the band live, but the performances you can see on YouTube promise an extraordinary concert experience.

Bedouin is a music production and DJ duo based in the United States, consisting of Tamer Malki and Rami Abousabe. They created remixes of DakhaBrakha’s music and turned them into relaxed, somewhat melancholy Deep House tracks.

A global record by Ukrainian artists, American remixers, which I bought from an Italian dealer (thanks to Discogs!). Music can bring the world together!

How beautiful the world could be without megalomaniac dictators. Peace for Ukraine! 🇺🇦
