The “World” of Krautrock

Possibly the worst, low-budget, 90′s cover ever.

And it couldn’t be a less comprehensive representation of Krautrock as a genre.

(if I remember correctly, this label had an extensive series of equally bizarre “World of” comps..)

However….

I rediscovered it in my dusty collection of CDs, and it rocked my ‘world’

I can’t believe that Wallenstein’s Mother Universe and Birth Control’s Operation aren’t widely regarded as some of the best albums of the 70′s.

Thank you, weird, German, 90′s comp for bringing these albums into my life.

Sweating to the Oldies

Well, I’M  officially old realizing that Houdini was released nearly 20 yrs ago…

Nevertheless, on the off chance there’s another person out there that is serious about fitness AND Melvins

This is the best song for interval cardio…and the best use of a pinata and chainsaw in a music video.

Boom Boom Room

Pat Travers completely rules.

I’m confused, can someone remind me why he isn’t included in any discussion of 70′s heavy rock?

hey..whos that on the drums?…..

Daryl Hall: Not a Yacht Rocker.

Daryl Hall-Sacred Songs

Any artist who steps away from a mainstream pop career to produce an album of songs with occult overtones and weird Fripp soundscapes is obviously awesome.

Hall’s label, RCA refused to release the album for fear of alienating his audience…

If that’s not proof of a good album, you must have reached this blog by accident.

Buy it now.
