101 Strings - Porgy and Bess (1958)

The 101 Strings Orchestra

Porgy and Bess

Somerset ST-RL-517


Yesterday I posted the album "The glory that was Gershwin" by Frank Chacksfield. After posting it I remembered having bought an album a few weeks ago on which the 101 Strings perform Gerswins 1935 opera "Porgy and Bess". It's a German release of the album, but so was the 101 Strings Orchestra, the Northwest German Radio Orchestra of Hamburg. Googling learned me that the album is probably from 1958.

Kai Warner - Musik für zwei (1969 compilation)

Kai Warner
Singers & Orchestra

Musik für zwei
Musik wie Jasmin

Polydor 641 520

Here's a 2LP by Kai Warner. It's a compilation album from 1969. When I played the albums for the first time I noticed that all four sides have a title that is not displayed on the tracklist on the backside of the cover. I found the titles of the tracks on the label of the record. They were all the same song played in different arrangements, "sweet", "bossa nova", "beat" and "foxtrot". The title of the song is "Jasmin", the same as the subtitle of the album. After searching the internet I discovered that the album was made for a German magazine "Jasmin, Die Zeitschrift für das Leben zur zweit" (Jasmin, the magazine for living together) , a magazine that was published at the end of the 60's. The magazine contained information for people on how to live their lives in the best way. The magazine was a bit revolutionary for those days, because it also offered erotic guidelines. But back to Kai Warner and his singers and orchestra. There are 2 links, one for each of the 2 albums. Just sit back, relax, listen to the music and maybe even dream of some of the things that could have been in the magazine.
- Enjoy -

01. Jasmin Thema "Sweet"
02. There's a kind of hush
03. The touch of your lips
04. Sentimental me
05. When your love has gone

07. Jasmin Thema "Bossa nova"
08. So in love
09. Ave Maria no morro
10. Chanson d'amour
11. I love Paris
12. Tammy


13. Jasmin Thema "Beat"
14. Flamingo
15. Show me the way to go home
16. Somethin' stupid
17. My heart belongs to daddy
18. Black is black

My first post after a few weeks of rebuilding, refurnishing and more things that made me become aware of muscles I didn't even know I had, but now I know I do, cause they are still rather painful.

 The Peter Thomas Sound Orchestra
 Chariots of the Gods (1970)
-Errinerungen an die Zukunft-
 Polydor 2371-035

Probably the best late-60's German pseudoscience documentary music you'll ever hear. Thomas combines crazed electronics, acid-exotica instrumentation, killer beats, and that haunting Title Theme into a cosmic score that goes way-out in search of Ancient Astronauts.
