Release: 14.07.2003
Cat#: Gomma 033 CD

The 2nd (and last) part of the TEUTONIK DISASTER – compilation: Obscure, unknown music from Germanys late 70ies & early 80ies New Wave/ Punk underground. Bands who tryed to mix their sound with Funk & Disco influences in a own way. This music was not part of the famous NEUE DEUTSCHE WELLE – hype. It was made by guys who wanted to experimentate new stuff and existed besides the German NDW pop thing of these days. Some of them were really ahead of their time. All these recordings are extremly hard to find even in Germany.

Poets of Rhythm – Summerdays (7″)

Release: 14 April 2003
Cat#: Gomma 027

“Long time favorites of DJ Shadow and the musical masterminds behind the Lyrics Born anthem “I Changed My Mind”, the Poets have always kept their funk raw. Returning to their home tome of Munich after a hiatus in NYC, they trade in their deep credentials here for some kitsch, sun-kissed folk-funk.” Jockey Slut

Tracklist:
A) Summerdays
B) Summerdays (instrumental)
