Sperrmüll's s/t isn't quite "mistagged unkraut" or pure schlock cock rock in the same sense as Hairy Chapter or Electric Fruit but, well, it has a song called "Land of the Rocking Sun" and if that doesn't turn your nose up...

and Ikarus' debut is little better, even if it has a coupla' moderately tasty jazz-rock bits, so I think I'll cancel that third-string kraut album marathon I had planned. There's too much music in the world to focus on any form of white rock music for an extended period of time. Just as European, but I think I'll move on to the perpetually underrated library scene for now, and start with the Roland Kovac New Set, as a bridge between genres.
