Xao Seffcheque
Sehr Gut Kommt Sehr Gut

Album DE 1981 on Schallmauer label
Electronic and Rock (Pop Rock, Abstract, Punk, New Wave, Ska, Synth-pop, Parody)

This record is a parody of the bands mentioned in the tracklisting. Actually every song is by Xao Seffcheque, who imitates the style of each band. The German music press (Sounds, Musik Express) fell for it at the time and reviewed it as an actual compilation. According to Musik Express, Kraftwerk were the first to take legal action, so that a sticker, "Achtung Satire!" (Caution: Satire!) or 'Diese Platte ist eine Parodie' ('This record is a parody'), had to be attached to the sleeve. Issued with a double-sided A4-sized insert with lyrics, distributors and some jokes. This pressing has no label rim text and no GEMA A1, B16 are taken from the single Happy New Wave. A2, A4, A6, A8, A10 are summarily listed on the label after the tracks of Side A ("Stalagmit 1-5"), the same for B2, B4, B6, B8, B10, B12, B14 on Side B ("Stalagmit 6-12"), B14 being barely audible. A5 was later re-recorded by Tanzmix with Peter Hein on vocals. A7 is made out of samples taken from Punk Macht Dicken Arsch, the overdubbed spoken word bit by Peter Hein is taken from the tapes later released on Herrenreiter. A9 is an actual contribution by Sternhagel and was later re-recorded for his solo album Sternhagel Kommt.. A11 is listed as "Wrong Colours (O.B.)" on the back sleeve. B11 is listed as "Sample & Hold (Wer Bitter Im Munde Hat, Kann Nicht Süsspricken)" on the back sleeve. B15 is not really featured on the record due to its length (0:00). Back sleeve gives thanks "for participation" to the credited musicians plus Anne Effertz, Bernd Schmidt, Padeluun, Boyd Rice, Peter Glaser, Mike A. Hentz, Wolfgang Schmelter, Brigitte Brehm, Monroe, Schampoo, Susanne & Karin, Das Büro, rara, Albert H. aus HH, "and to you of course for buying this record!"
