Guten Tag! Willkommen to the third and final installment of the In-Kraut. Once again, the Marina label takes you on a deep trip into the funky musical spheres of 1960s and 1970s Germany an undiscovered universe full of Hammond-heavy grooves, tight big band arrangements and fuzz guitar-enhanced dancefloor nuggets. Dip into a motherlode of 20 rare soul, beat, now sound, mod, jazz & soundtrack gems most of them appearing for the first time on CD, finally destined to move the Kraut. The In-Kraut Vol. 3 kickstarts with the incredibly switched-on Glory Be by Daisy Clan, a great mod stomper drenched in fuzz guitars and heavy percussion masterminded by German music biz legends Joachim Heider and Michael Holm. The party continues with Bavarian groove agent Ambros Seelos, a man who certainly knew how to cook up a groove. Super-fantastisch! This release also naturally features a couple of cool and unique cover versions. Dieter Zimmermann tackles Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love orchestra-style adding a whole lotta fresh new twists and turns to the played-to-death rock classic. Inga rocks Sonny & Cher's The Beat Goes On, and Katja Ebstein delivers a great druggy take on the Beatles' A Hard Day's Night. Way out. Film music maestro Peter Thomas paints a crazy end-of-the-world scenario with the hilarious The World Is Gone and Hammond organ god Ingfried Hoffmann appears with two knock-out groove nuggets: Stroke It and the supremely funky That's Me Boy by his late '60s outfit Memphis Black. Trombone ace Peter Herbolzheimer strikes with his all-star killer big band Certain Lions & Tigers delivering a great, Latin-flavored version of Fever. Rolf Kühn, one of Germany's most distinguished jazz musicians ever, calms US down again with the deliciously chilled-out Playmate, featuring a great Fender Rhodes part, topped with strings. There's also Georgees' super-rare soundtrack nugget Butterflies Never Cry, sounding like something taken directly from the score to Barbarella. The German Top Five's take on rare groove classic The Champ one of the most sampled tracks in hip-hop history is even more funky than the original. The In-Kraut Vol. 3 was assembled by Stefan Kassel and Frank Jastfelder. Three is the magic number. Other artists include: Gene Williams, the Rainbow Orchestra, Heinz Kiessling, Frank & the Top Ten, Adam & Eve, Hazy Osterwald Sextet, Acid and Karl Schiller.
