Tropical Drums Of Deutschland (2lp)
Copenhagen's Music For Dreams comes with yet another strong release: a double album of personal favourites compiled by Jan Schulte. According to all maps and witness accounts, Germany does not officially have any tropical forests. This is of no concern to Schulte however, who has unearthed many stunning examples of tropical drum music recorded there. Perhaps the number of botanical gardens and palm houses in Germany confused musicians into mistaking the climate, or maybe it was just a happy blend of escapism and multi-cultural integration within musical scenes that spawned such a curious output of undefinable tribal folk jazz. Most of the tracks picked by Schulte were released on small labels in the late '80s. SIDE 1: 1. Om Buschman - Klang Fängt An 2. Total Art Of Percussion - Wuhan Wuchang 3.
