    Ertlif, Ertlif...Plus, 2016, Sommor Switzerland, SOMM 031

    Swiss Krautrock recorded in 1971-1973. Swiss people (at least the German speaking part of Switzerland) also have a rich Sauerkraut-tradition as the Germans have.
    This one is the Swiss "Birth Control" plus "Spooky Tooth" plus "Atomic Rooster" and "Audience". Extraordinary vocals by Richard John Rusinski.

    Chico Hablas, Events, 1986, Mercury Germany, 826 148 1Q

    A typical product of the 80ies: a little bit of Jazz, a little bit of Latin, a little bit of New Age, a little bit of Soundtracksound, a little bit of Yello and AN OVERDOSE of synthesizers. Drum programming was everything then. But: the drum-kit should be everything!
    A very respectable Swiss guitar player anyway (Ex-Shivananda, Yello)
    Whatever became of Chico Hablas, anybody knows?
    Listen to "Marguerita" A2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0lFEUr16EU

    Don Nicoloff, Everybody's Pink Under The Skin, 1978, Pick Switzerland, 100 150

    Very very rare one. Don Nicoloff: multiinstrumentalist, pianist, composer, arranger, producer from USA? Did he just send some basic tracks to Powerplay Studio in Switzerland or did he really meet these premium Swiss studio cracks? The Keiser Twins dr/b, Thomas Moeckel superb guitar solos, Jim Duncombe g (Jimmy and the Rackets).
    Some very fine and funky Jazzrock, Fusion and a pinch of Disco, some with big orchestration. Too much of everything with a tendency into Smooth-Pop-Jazz.
    It's a pity. More would have been possible.
    No appearance on youtube. Few infos on Internet.
    Does anybody on this forum supply more information about this peculiar record?
    Listen to superb track B2 "Nepalm" (sic!). Am I the only one on this whole wide world to listen to this one?
