Hit: 5 Stars

An amazing selection of German grooves from the 60s through to the early 70s.

There's so many albums you wait an age for which inevitably let you down, then albums come from nowhere and knock you out. Such is the case with 'The In-Kraut', appropriately sub-titled 'Hip Shaking Grooves Made In Germany 1966-1974'.

When you think of German music past, it's hard to get past Kraftwerk and hair rock. But like all cultures, if you go past the obvious and scrape the surface, there's some great stuff hidden down below. I first heard album opener 'From Here On It Got Rough' by Hildegard Knef on the radio, prompting me to seek out this collection. Like Nico does northern - incredibly quirky and catchy and a sign of things to come. Some tracks are cool and funky variations of the big band sound, like Guenter Noris' 'Gemini' which operates in Ramsey Lewis territory and Fredy Brock's 'Beat It', featuring a class JB style rhythm section. Best topping those is Orchester Helmuth Brandenburg's 'Moving Out', not a far cry from the Starsky and Hutch theme! There's the annoyingly catchy 'Marihuana Mantra' with its driving guitar and chant-like chorus or the fuzz-pop of Bill Ramsey's 'An Unknown Quantity'. And check out the breezy 60s pop of Marianne Mendt's 'Wie A Glock'n' or the more sleazy 'Pussy Baby' by Bill Lawrence. Talking of 60s pop, I love Heidi Bruehl's 'Berlin' - almost like a soundtrack piece, complete with great psych guitar solo (rumoured to be from Jimmy Page!). And for a piece of driving hammond, The Boots' 'Alexander' hits the spot.

And there's tracks that have already become sought-after collectors' grooves. Check out 'Why Don't You Play The Organ, Man' by Memphis Black - a monster funk piece. And feel the groove on the opening of 'Sunday Love Affair' by Orchester Frank Pleyer. More mainstream funk comes courtesy of Erwin Halletz, with 'Das Stundenhotel Von St Pauli' - a blue movie soundtrack inevitably! A track that has already been lifted wholesale is 'Bodybuilding' by Orchester Werner Mueller - re-worked by Bentley Rhythm Ace into a hit single a few years back. And no album of this nature would be complete without a bonkers covers version - enter Peter Thomas with his early synth and brass take on 'Jumpin' Jack Flash'.

20 tracks - no filler and one of the best booklets I've had the pleasure to read in a long time. A fantastic trip through the German underground of the 60s and early 70s and an album I just can't recommend enough.

In-Kraut: Hip Shaking Grooves Made 1966-1974 Poster

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. 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. 2005.
