Early Groenemeyer is still excellent Groenemeyer!

"This is early Groenemeyer: the sound is simple and not sophisticated, and the texts are light, even frivolous (e.g., "Maenner", "Mambo"). However, that does NOT detract from the excellent quality of this album! The performances are great, some of the songs are very moving (e.g., "Flugzeuge im Bauch"), and the music is tight and textured. Groenemeyer's voice isn't substantially different, I don't think, from his later albums (e.g., Chaos or Bleibt Alles Anders). His tribute to his home town ("Bochum") is very touching and an excellent opening track."

Wirklich toll!

"I moved to Nuernberg in 1986 and was exposed to this album through friends and fell in love with it. As the other reviewers have stated, understanding German will help listeners absorb the songs. I knew him only as a singer before Das Boot came out, and must say that I've not seen the entire film. Flugzeuge in meinem Bauch is one of my favorite mellow songs- there is so much emotion in his voice.



Great album. Classic album."
