HOHLA - BIEREDER "DOPPELT DOPPELT" (FISCHRECORDS, 1931-33)

Here we have music which contains traditional tunes and yodeling from Austria.
Not from professional musicians but from a landlady and her brother. Nowotny was a teacher who helped the siblings to find a record company and participated here with his singing on a few tracks.
Sometimes it sounds like it was recorded somwhere in Central Asia - at least a bit.

MASAOMI KONDO - 植物誌 ひとりぼっちの部屋 (CANYON, 1971)

Here we have another high quality rip by mvns - my thanks goes to him.


Kondo Masaomi is a well know Japanese actor who made this one-off LP in 1971. He raps away on 6 tracks about various plant species such as the Mandragora, breathing out an endangered atmosphere that borders at times on sheer anarchy and agitation.
