The B52's - Play Loud!That's what the sticker on the original vinyl said. And it was so right. Favorite track: Planet Claire If you think this is just Peter Gunn without the sax, check if you're still alive.$11.97 Buy in Germany DM 21,99 |
The B52's - Wild PlanetSomewhere on a planet with pink air the party goes on. Favorite Track: Private Idaho$11.97 Buy in Germany DM 21,99 |
Logan's RunThis SciFi movie marks the turn of the century in Germany. How so? Once in the 70's German television let the viewers choose between Logan's Run and Grosse Freiheit Nr.7, a film with Hans Albers, a famous star from the 40s... nobody in school had any hope that there would be Logan's Run on TV on Saturday. And then there was... by a vast majority. So we knew that the old farts where all dead in their armchairs :) Favorite scene: Jenny Agutter in a very short skirt in the styrofoam ice cave SOLD OUT!

The Beat - I Just Can't Stop It...because Ska was so damned cool Favourite track: Mirror In The Bathroom$13.99 Buy in Germany SOLD OUT! |
ZardozThis movie is just steaming... Favorite scene: See Sean Connery in a wedding dress. Or maybe the closing scene with the Beethoven score. I guess this is the only movie where they live happily ever after while you're still in the theatre... $17.99 German PAL version DM 28,99 |
J.R.R. Tolkien - The Lord Of The RingsYou may have heard that this is the antagon of modern fantasy. What you might not have heard is, while many books owe to The Lord of the Rings but have their own charm, you can not buy another book like this. It is a singular masterpiece not only of the genre but of the 20th century. $22.37 Buy in Germany DM 78,- |
The Andromeda StrainMichael Crichton's first. Favorite scene: When they cut off the guy's finger and his blood is like sand. (I guess this was mighty impressive when I was 5) $12.74 English PAL version DM 38,99 |
Battlestar Galactica ThemeYou might say that this was just a cheap TV space opera. But in fact this is the only cheap TV space opera ever made! Favorite scene: When the girl confesses that she's a sociolatrice... or maybe the singer with the three eyes and two mouths... $21.23 English PAL version DM 47,99 German PAL version DM 40,99 |
Star Trek TV seriesThemeI'm still homesick for the Enterprise (I can't go back because I lost my Sense Of Wonder) Favorite scene: When the guy you never saw on the bridge before dies (any episode) He's dead Jim$16.99 German PAL version DM 47,99 |
Planet Of The ApesFavorite scene: When Taylor finds the statue of liberty English PAL version $13.99 German PAL version DM 64,99 |

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the GalaxyThe day I had built my own detector radio I plugged in the ear phone, carefully aligned the ferrite core, adjusted the condensator and listened anxiously. Suddenly there was a voice... it talked about a pot whale appearing in space and then mutating into a flower pot (or vice versa). It was the BBC radio play Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy... I guess I was the first boy in Germany to read the Hitchhiker :) Don't Panic! $14.99 Buy in Germany DM 12,90 |
Lair of the White WormNo this is not a noteworthy movie though it's quite hilarious. The more interesting thing about the movie is that Ken Russell seems to share my obsession for female forearm hair ;) Favorite scene: Catherine Oxenberg in a SM bondage scene, backlit! Maybe I can get my wife to buy the DVD because Hugh Grant is in it... hehe $25.48 German PAL version DM 28,99 |
 DAF - Alles Ist Gut The German forefathers of Techno. If that's too generic a description, figure a frenetic sequencer and a powerful disco drum, garnished with sexy German grunts. Pure Energy. Favorite tracks: Der Mussolini, Der Räuber und der Prinz$15.19 Buy in Germany DM 23,99 |
 Sparks - Gratuitous Sax & Senseless Violins I thought I told you to wait in the car! The Sparks are able to make an opera out of an overheard conversation... Each and every track on this album is a gem of it's own. Favorite track: Hear No Evil, See no Evil, Speak No Evil$14.49 Buy in Germany DM 21,99 |
 The James Taylor Quartet - The Money Spyder This is like the score to a 60's spy movie, but actually it isn't :) JTQ rulez! Favorite tracks: Mr Cool's Dream, Buzzy Bee (like The Shadows on acid)$14.22 Buy in Germany DM 31,99 |
John Dowland - Collected WorksA boy and his lute. If you think that pop music was invented in the 20th century - this is pop music from the 16th. It's somewhat demanding to hear the groove in lute music if you're not accustomed to it... so I recommend the recordings of Anthony Rooleys Consort of Musicke, they arranged the songs for voices - with a vengeance. Favorite Tracks: Unquiet Thoughts, Burst Forth My Tears MIDI sample: Forlorn Hope Song$76.92 Buy in Germany DM 145,99 Or get the First Booke Of Songes first - not quite as pricey as the collected works - but only available in Germany) SOLD OUT! |
