4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating soundtracks from 60s-70s German softcore films, March 21, 2000

Excellent German orchestral and small combo rock 'n' roll from the soundtracks of German softcore films of the early 60s and 70s. Plenty of fuzzed out guitars ("make your guitar sound like a Sitar - the Voxx Wah-Wah, it's what's HAPPENING!") Hammond organ, and wailing brass, complemented by snappy drums, bongos and other percussion. All tracks feature catchy riffs, many borrowed from the very best places ("Dirty Boy" reminds me an awful lot of the theme from the Munsters, "Title Theme" has a harmonica that just might be the player from Canned Heat). Sighing vocals and softer horns provide the background for your home seduction scenes, while the upbeat cuts turn any room into a discoteque.

Superb sound quality and a hefty 19 tracks make this a real bargain!

I can't even remember how I stumbled accross this CD. I know it was here on Amazon, somehow. I was immediately intrigued cuz the cover shows boobies! I then read some of the reviews and they convinced me to listen to some of the samples. I thought they sounded pretty cool. What, the heck? It's only [money].

I am just now on my first listen, about track #8 or so. This has got to be one of THE coolest CD's ever. Oh yeah! It's 1970's German Soft-Core Porn Jazz Soundtracks. Oh yeah! Horns, Wah-Wah Guitar, Doo-Be-Doo Vocals. Oh yeah!

Turn down the lights. Start a fire (Make sure you have a fireplace!) Pour a martini. Light a cigarette. Make sweet-sweet love to this music.

5.0 out of 5 stars The CD That Makes Your Clothes Disappear!, May 11, 2004

If there ever was a CD I could use to judge the extent to which a person enjoys life, it's "The Schulmadchen Report." Mr. Wilden perfects what I warmly refer to as Romp Rock, pornographic music with a slick style and a sense of humor. I firmly believe that anyone who doesn't tap their foot to this is at least partly dead inside, and anyone not turned on a little is way past their sexual prime.

Sure, Wilden and his orchestra do lift their hick-pop sensibilities and fuzzed-out production from other artists (the opening "Title Theme" is a clear nod to Canned Heat's "On the Road Again"; the guitar production of "Dirty Beat" a possible tribute to the Beatles' "Taxman" and a slew of 60's "Nuggets"-worthy garage acts), but the best records are usually a testiment to the varied and tasteful listening scope of its creator. Here, German-born Wilden weaves in equal parts Mancini and "Lady Chatterly's Lover," a weekend couple getaway gone very, very blue.

Wilden's other work in the soundtrack genre, most notably gathered in the crime story backdrop "I Told You Not to Cry," is more than worth bending an ear for, but if you're looking to swell your libido and magically unhook the bra of your significant (or insignificant) other, "The Schulmadchen Report" is a must for anyone with a truly musical, if not dirty, beat in their hearts. And the pictures ain't too bad, either.
