Ananas!

Don Paulin recorded a few LPs in the 60s. Most of them are not my cup of tea. This one is! With the help of Ingfried Hoffmann (Why don't you play the organ, man), Siegfried Schwab and all those cats, he recorded a very nice south american influenced LP including classics like Constant Rain (Chove Chuva) and lots of own compositions. Enjoy!

Cheers,

Basso

Funky Four Corners

I really believed I'd never find the original. But I did and it's yours now.
Indeed a very groovy (maybe even a little spiritual) LP on the small Trend label recorded in 1976. Very listenable all the way through. Heavenly if you're into flutes and synths. There used to be a reissue in the late nineties - I hope it's still available. If so: go out and buy it.

cheers,
Basso

Girl you move me

Some of you might remember that this was my favourite song for
longer than half a year. That's a long time for a guy who shows strong variety-seeking-behaviour. The LP version starts off rather spacy -
this Live version is nailed down to the floor of the "Blow Up".
Unfortunately it lasts just for a few minutes. I'd love to hear the whole show.......
Anyway, this is one of my "unfortunate love" tracks, another one is "Pretty girl" by the Beginning of the End. What about yours?
Cheers,
Basso
