German-grade rare groove is a unique creature. Sure there are elements of funk, jazz and go-go but many of the tracks found on this compilation have a really strong psychedelic flavour that makes them stand out. It's true that some French artists were on a similar trajectory during the same period but there is a certain manic sleaziness that pervades the likes of "Orbiter", "Mabusso", "Hackepeter" etc. that stamps this music as distinctly German. Outside of Berry Lipman, Pete Thomas and Gerhard Narholz I've never heard of any of these artists before which makes this collection all the more exciting. Clearly it is the tip of a very funky iceberg!
