Science Fiction Dance Party

The mythical follow-up to Heribert Thusek and Horst Ackermann's horror cash-in album Dracula's Music Cabinet!!

Back in 1968 a pair of Germanic behind-the-scenes sound librarians called Horst Ackermann and Heribert Thusek left a tiny, but indelible, pinprick on the history of German Pop in the misshaped form of a sexy horror cash-in concept album called Dracula's Music Cabinet. Shelved at a micro-cosmic axis where Krautrock meets lesbian vampire Horrortica and Easy Listening meets Psychedelia, the delayed reaction of this mutant concoction eventually exploded in the mid-1990s.

Turns out that the Ackermann and Thusek duo were far from dynamic. They were undercover agents hiding behind user-friendly mock-Rock monikers and, like most B Musicians, the only way to sniff them out would be to read the small print. But when an unidentified record on an unknown label with a title like Science Fiction Dance Party crops up in the "Eins Deutschmark" crates it's not exactly rocket science - although the track titles might suggest otherwise. "The End of a Robot," "Monster on Saturn 1," "Galactic Adventures of the Oter Space Fleet," "The Whistling Astronauts," "Death Rays Out of the Universe"...The telltale signs are all there and if that doesn't clench the deal - then what will?!
