Happy 70th Birthday, Hellmut! Kraan in the 70ies

Kraan is a German band based in Ulm and formed in 1970. It had several minor hits through the 1970s and 1980s. After a break of ten years, the group reunited in 2000. Their early style can be described as Krautrock that turned later to fusion, combining elements of both rock and jazz.

Hellmut Hattler (born 12 April 1952 in Ulm, West Germany) is a German jazz and rock bassist and composer. Hattler took much of his early influences from Jimi Hendrix. As a child, he received violin lessons, and in the 1960s, he played guitar. Joining Peter Wolbrandt's band marked the debut of his changeover to the bass. In May 1971, he founded the pop group Kraan with the Wolbrandt brothers Peter and Jan and Johannes Pappert. Kraan's early Krautrock style later developed towards fusion, combining rock, jazz and ethnic elements.^[1] Apart from his own projects, Hattler has toured and recorded with many international musicians of various genres including Tina Turner, Billy Cobham, Joachim Kühn, Torsten de Winkel, Alphonse Mouzon, and Nippy Noya.

Snoid Studios Reggae Singles Archives (1st choice)

When I first met with "Snoid Studios" in the midth 70ies our friendship was founded on a common passion for Max Romeo & The Upsetter "War ina Babylon". He was then deeply into Reggae, had a big collection of LPs and singles he had purchased in Zürich, where a good Reggae Store was placed. 

At that time I was engaged in taping everything that could be found in my friends' record collections and so this funny wall of tapes arised from that - including a Reggae part I'm just busy ripping by now. I'm on R 19 (of 36)

German local 80ies Obscurities (No. 1: The Small Town)

Two years ago an old friend of mine, maybe the most beloved of my old friends, passed away after long being very sick - which gave me the chance to say "goodbye" and express my deepest feelings for that guy before he died after a long period we didn't met.

In the world of arts, volker 7 (german page with a great collection) created a fine corpus of images, mostly inspired by the artwork of Captain Beefheart. But he also were a great singer and a wild man at the keyboards.

Volker Jenal - when we were young, wild, beautifiul & damned ;)

So I take the opportunity to remember him here with some of the bands from the local scene we both were part of - the so called "Hinterwald", and hope you're fine with that. The portrait will take 3 parts, this one specialized on him and the bands he played, a 2nd one with more "Hinterwald" stuff - and a third on the scene in the eldest german town, where I moved in the mid 80ies and which is completely different to the "Hinterwald".

When I first met Volker he just became member of "Sinalco Fluor S", a band I tried to popularize the last 3 decades - and now finding their music in foreign countries in South America ie. Sinalco, which is a german non alcohol drink like "Fanta" combined with "Fluor S", were a punk outfit inspired by Ian Hunter, T Rex and Talking Heads. Rough & fiery.

Yep, that screaming and yelling announcer must be a version of myself some 40 years ago. And the guy singing our favourite Ian Hunter song and treating the piano as a dog, that's Volker. Followed by a version of the T Rex classic "20th century boy" with solo guitar works and also the voice of Stefan Warten (in the video the guy with the mask)

But playing covers alone wasn't what made Sinalco Fluor S great. There circulated a tape ("Sinalco Fluor S - Greatest Hits from Yesterday"). A year before Volker died, I sent him a fine FLAC version of that tape, he released it as LP in a very small amount of copies and gave it a new cover in his style.

A copy of that FLAC is part of this post - I know, that's german punk stuff - hope you like it as well as a slowly grewing community of fans even in Brazil or Russia seems to do.

When he left Sinalco he became member of bands like "The Five Babies Pisseuses", more kinda inspired by B52's (in the files there is their set on the 3rd Hinterwald Free & Outside Festival and also the great Demo-Tape) and of "Safari Grünspan" (also in the files, also with a well known announcer) together with Stefan Warten, playing punk inspired by the Stray Cats ie.

Sinalco then became more Postpunk and Reggae influenced, a soundboard and almost dub-version of "Haschisch (Do you like it as I do?)" can be heard in the files collection of this post shows our "Sly & Robbie" rhythm section, Dirk on bass & Wilmar on drums, members of all Sinalco Fluor S variations. Mike Schwisteg, the guitar player and founder of Sinalco will also appear in the 2nd post with "Les Hommes Volants"

In the end, they finally realized a longplayer, "Klon", the band had a saxophone player who (afaik) financed the project ... it offers a song "Ohne Titel" (Without a title) which is remarkable even I prefer listen to the demo-version of that song without the sax and to be found on a "Wartungsfrei" sampler, a local tape-release label being portrayed a bit in the next post with Andi Arroganti ie. The 2nd guitar player, the solo, that's Jose, who also played for "Triebwagen" and other Hinterwald bands.

So for now, I leave you with this little "memorial" to an old friend who deserved to be remembered two years later. See you up there, Volker, when we meet again, we will listen to a lot of "The Can", "Captain Beefheart" and "Kevin Coyne" stuff.

Al Stewart - Big Pack

Sometimes you're between pure joy - and sheer panic someone could destroy your beloved memories. In this case: my 2nd wife listening to a radio announcement, Al Stewart on the way to give a special concert in our region, at a very fine location by candle light, only 300 tickets available ... "Dear, do you think we should go there?"

Well, good question. Is it a good idea to go 30 years after "Year of the Cat" to an Al Stewart show, always that wonderful (while made by Alan Parsons) record in mind? Expecting to be disappointed by maybe an old fart milking the dead horse to pay his rent? 

the announced location

First - and last - disspointment in this case: There were too many folks with the same idea, so the location had to change to a not so romantic place and setting. Arriving at a school building, entering the aula, 600 people in the room ... our hearts sank rapidly. But then the man entered the stage and it didn't took a minute for him to comfort them with pure joy.

What a great entertainer who doesn't need the perfect production of Alan Parsons, just him and another acoustic guitar, played by Dave Nachmanoff. Pure fun to see them both on stage. More fun: leaving the room after the show, we found Al sitting outside on a desk, signing records ie. One guy had his complete LP-collection with him and while signing every one of them, Al shared his memories on every piece ("Hey, I asked Roger Waters for his car to shoot the picture for the cover ..."). 

So I did what I'm really not used to: I purchased a DVD and asked for an autogram ... This is the rip of that DVD and that's the cover
