The Science Fiction Corporation - Science Fiction Dance Party: Dance With Action

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-1990's in the hands of a generation of 'record diggers' sending currency-crushing tremors through the wallets of mods, rockers, hip hoppers and psych nuts around the plastic-pillaging planet. The vinyl junkies had resurrected a monster but, like addicts do, they ravenously sucked it dry and moved on looking for the next fix to feed their habit. 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.
