3.0 out of 5 stars Good But There are Better, Feb 12 2008

By Brian J. Greene "djbrian" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Achtung! German Grooves (Audio CD)

If you're into groovy German kitsch from the 70s, you will enjoy this. Seems a bunch of German composers were trying to be hip, and trying to sell records, and made all this spaced out, groovy, soundtrack-y kind of stuff. Some of the pictures of the original albums on the insert are almost worth the price of the CD alone. But there are better compilations of this same kind of stuff out there - namely, "The In-Kraut" and "Birds Do It." And then there's the masterful collections from Gert Wilder from his Schoolgirl Report soundtracks. Those other albums have more genuinely good songs than this one, and less that is only enjoyable on a camp basis. Still, if you want to hear the oddest version of House of the Rising Sun you're ever likely to come by, and a bunch of other whacked out German grooves from the 1970s, you will like this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Achtung!, Oct 14 2008

By Peter Buzz "Peter Buzz" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Achtung! German Grooves (Audio CD)

ACHTUNG! GERMAN GROOVES is the name of the new compilation from the BUREAU B. label, Hamburg's purveyors of quality music. As subtitles go, this one pretty much says it all: 20 INSTRUMENTAL DANCEFLOOR KIILLERS FROM THE 60s AND 70s.
The rehabilitation of German popular musicians continues. Word has got out... James Last, Max Greger and Co. are not so staid and boring as their reputations have led us to believe. In their hearts, jazz is their first love. Sadly, however, earning their keep playing outside the box was not an option. Searching through the record company archives for the good stuff is a long and laborious process. But it has been worth it!

ACHTUNG! GERMAN GROOVES brings together 20 such gems. Wild rare grooves, slick funk workouts, sleazy soul beats, wah-wah guitars, Fender-Rhodes, Hammond organs, meaty drum breaks, snappy horn sections - everything the easygoing 60s and 70s had to offer. Alongside orchestral greats like James Last, Max Greger, Peter Thomas and Ambros Seelos, a number of lesser known, but none the less exciting musicians take a deserved bow. Ady Zehnpfennig, Gerhard Narholz, Hans Haider and the rest, we salute you. ACHTUNG BABY!
