    • Johan: My rating: 5 points on 5. Soundtrack to a Spy film that doesn't exist. Great organ/guitar instros in 70's crime jazz style.

• Teletubbies: "Teletubbies: The Album"
  • CD, BBC WMXU 0014, distributed by BMG, UK, 1998
  • comment:
    • Johan: My rating: 3 points on 5. The 4 Teletubbies look like Hobbits from Mars, and the music is an odd combination of circus music and new age, with simple melodies, played on MIDI equipment, with The Teletubbies giggling and saying "oh-oh".

• George Theodossiadis: "Man For All The Doings"
  • CD, Potfleur POT 003, Greece, 2002
  • comment:
    • Johan: My rating: 3 points on 5. Jazz score, good but nothing special. one bossa nove tune, some beatnik jazz influences, several nervous jazz tunes. available from: Sonic Rendezvous (Netherlands) and Dionysus (USA). Sound fragment on Potfleur site

• Peter Thomas: "Erinnerungen An Die Zukunft"  (Chariots Of The Gods)
  • CD, Polydor 573502, Germany, 1998
  • comment:
    • Johan: My rating: 3 points on 5. From 1969. Imagine Morricone's orchestral spaghetti soundtrack pieces from "Once upon a time in the West", mixed with elements of "Raumpatrouille", musique concrète and Elizabeth Waldo-like primitive percussion. A very fascinating soundtrack! It's a pitty Polygram didn't bother to remaster it and add track divisions... The track "Götter von fremden Sternen" (Gods from strange planets) is also featured on the "FutureMuzik" compilation, and is probably the best piece from the soundtrack... it certainly has the most catchy melody.

• Peter-Thomas-Sound-Orchester: "Orion 2000"
  • 10", Bungalow bung 008, distr. Rough Trade, Germany, 1996
  • comment:
    • Johan: My rating: 4 points on 5. "Raumpatrouille" main theme + 3 tracks from the "Orion" LP/Soundtrack from 1975, where Peter Thomas captured the spirit of the future once again. Even more wild and loud, with extra electric guitars, hard rockin' drums, and electronics that at one point are almost painful. Don't bother to try to find it, because all 3 are also featured on the (recommended) "Moonflowers & Mini-skirts" CD.

• Peter-Thomas-Sound-Orchester: "Raumpatrouille"
  • CD, Bungalow BUNG 009, Germany, 1998
    CD/LP, Bungalow BUNG 112, Germany, 2003

  • comment:
    • Johan: My rating: 4 points on 5. Ugly cover, great music, a sort of Renaissance meets spaghetti western meets "now" sound. If you liked I Marc 4 on other CDs, you'll dig this one too! See their web site for details, where you can also buy the CD with your credit card!
