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.

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.

Peter Thomas Sound Orchester - Chariots of the Gods (original soundtrack)

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.
