Jan Schulte, known from Dekmantel, International Feel, and Golf Channel, hand - picks thirteen 'personal favorite' independent and private press recordings. These tracks, created by German artists, evoke tropical sounds. Back in a time when European white people had a strong fetish for third - world sounds, Schulte is fascinated by music about places the artists have never visited. The sounds vary from calming rainsticks and bird calls, plucked kalimba and zither notes to full - blown African tribal chants, fitting perfectly with Music For Dreams, Copenhagen's top ethno - folk and experimental electronic sound purveyor. Don't be fooled by the cover; this isn't a collection of questionably sourced masters or lo - fi vinyl rips. The sound and production are top - notch. Highlights include Ralf Nowy's 'Akili Mali', Rüdiger Oppermann's rare 7” 'Troubadix In Afrika', Tonal Art of Percussion's 'Wuhan Wuchang', Om Buschman's 'Prima Kalimba', and Argile's 'Kleine Rosa Wolke'. Side D features two exclusive edits by Schulte under his Wolf Müller guise, with 'Hey Tata Gorem' being a real gem. This double - vinyl set comes in a full - color pic sleeve with liner notes. It's a must - have for music lovers. Details: double vinyl pressing, printed insert with extensive liner notes, music label: Music For Dreams 2017. Reviewed by Hannibal Chew in March 2018.
