Dies Irae - First (1971) Tracklist:
1. Lucifer
2. Salve Oimel
3. Another Room
4. Trip
5. Harmagedon Dragonlove
6. Tired
7. Witches Meeting
8. Red Lebanese
9. Run Off
DIES IRAE were a band from southwestern germany, Saarbrucken, to be more specific. Besides this record, they released one more 7". Their syle can be described as mixture between late 60's style Blues Rock and Kraut Rock. They have been compared to TASTE , but I don't go with that. Anyway, it's a decent album with solid rock songs ("Lucifer") as well as psychedelic parts ("Trip").

I have already introduced the mighty STRAIGHT SHOOTER. Now, here's their second and by far best release, "My Time - Your Time". Just can't get enough from Georg Buschmann's carismatic voice!
This is the CD release, the tracklist differs from the LP and has one additional song on it, "Straight Fighting Man", originally released on their '81 LP "Flyin' Straight". I'll be posting this one in my next posts.

I just bought this LP in a used record store in Brooklyn. I was very surprised. A very good record. Any other German Rock bands I should look into? (Accept and Scorpions not withsatnding)
Hello Straight-Shooter-Fans!
For all those who still care about the music of Straight Shooter, there are some news for you that might be interesting and pleasant for you:
Provided with a lot of information, help and support from the former members of the band "Straight Shooter" - especially Hans Plankert (keyboards) and Georg Buschmann (vocals) recently I have created an launched a fansite. Its put online for a month now.
If you mind, visit http://taxirock.de/straightshooter and have a look at it.
There is also the opportunity to reach the band-members themselves withquestions, comments and greetings - simply by using the guestbook as I am in personal contact with the two of them.
For sure, I will forward each comment to these band members and will be glad to keep you in touch with Straight Shooter.
Very best wishes from north germany;
Ingrid
