Marschmellows - Klangsystem (1996 INFRACom!)

It's chilly sunday and good time to continue our exploration of funky German scene of the 90's. The Frankfurt-based INFRACom! label delivered fine electronic music since the Happy Hardcore daze, and Jörg Rosenbaum & Thilo Kraft AKA Marschmellows were surely one of it's finest artists. Their debut album Klangsystem (which means simply Sound System in german;-) is a sampledelic collection of funky trip hop beats and includes all the tracks from their first three-sided 12'' Blackout/Waterfront/Splendid, which I used to rotate so heavily that the plastic is almost see-through.

Kosma - Universal (1996 INFRACom!)

Let's finish our little trip to Germany with one of my all time favs - Universal by Roskow Kretschmann AKA Intega AKA Sygaire AKA Kosma. Yep, this guy was also founding member of Jazzanova and if you compare Universal with the legendary Jazzanova EP, you'll see how influential he was. This collection of sophisticated jazzy moods is so good they released it twice; it's also available as Early Works with two extra tracks.
