HOPES AND DREAMS is the title of our brand new compilation series, which will celebrate its debut on March 20, 2026. This new series draws on the music selection of PRAISE POEMS, not only in terms of obscurity, but also in terms of genius. Similar, but anything but a poor copy, the focus is on rare grooves from the 1970s.

The album contains genuine rarities that definitely deserve more attention. Take, for example, the opener by Guamanian Frankie & the Karter's Peanut Organization. The protagonist comes from Guam, a tiny island in the western Pacific, a good 5000km north of Australia. The previously unreleased “Back In Time” comes from an acetate pressing. As far as we know, it is the only existing copy. Easy and Carrie Chaplin & Mark Perron delight us with light folk soul, and fans of Terry Callier will certainly enjoy the two songs by Brandy and Benito Hodge. Both breathe a little jazz into the soul. Incidentally, the co-producer of “Loving You” was none other than Hubert Eaves III, who was part of the electro-funk duo “D-Train” in the 1980s which had several Billboard Dance and R&B chart successes.

A little psych rock or psych soul is also a must. The remaining songs by Godspeed, Reflection, The ThreeO, and John Laughter & the Third Generation probably fall into this category. All of them are extremely rare and magnificent at the same time. When you hear the first notes of “She Who Stands Beside Me,” you inevitably think of Portishead before you are unexpectedly caught off guard by the song's brutal mood change. And with “By The Sea,” we are pleased to present another previously unreleased song.

“HOPES AND DREAMS - Rare & Unreleased Psych-Soul Nuggets from the 1970s” marks the beginning of a new journey of discovery through the music history of the 1970s, which we hope will be just as successful as its predecessor, PRAISE POEMS. Curated by label headman and DJ Tobias Kirmayer.
