"I became a fan of Peter Schilling like most people in America-through his hit single "Major Tom (Coming Home)." My mom was complaining that she couldn't get the English version of that song on itunes, so after looking it up on youtube, I instantly became hooked to that song. I found the Different Story album very cheap on Amazon and got it. I never heard any other song by Peter and was floored about how awesome the disc was. Looking up more about the album I came across Error in the System. Much to my disappointment the album was never issued on CD. About a year went by, and I decided to look up Peter Schilling on Amazon for no real reason. Much to my suprise, Wounded Bird Records re-issued the original Error in the System album on CD with the original German version, Fehler im System. I scrounged up some cash and bought the CD right away. Just like the Different Story album, Error in the System was amazing and the re-mastering was top notch. Every song was just as good, from the familiar beats and sounds of "Major Tom" and "The Noah Plan" to new favorites such as "I Have No Desire" and "Only Dreams," this album is a must own for any fan of 80's pop music or good music in general. The German versions of some of my favorite songs was very intriguing to hear, though I usually don't listen to those. The only flaw I could think of the re-issue was the extremely bland and boring cover art. I've made better covers then this. But no matter, it's the music that matters right? I just hope Wounded Bird follows up with a Things to Come/120 Grad reissue soon."
Bring back the 80's

"I bough this album on cassette back in 1983. It was one of my favorite albums, I will play it over and over. So much that I can now sing some of the german version of the songs. I spent over 20 years looking for a CD version of this album to no avail, I was wondering if this album was ever to be release. Finally after a long wait someone decided to release it.
While Major Tom was the most popular song here in the states, this album has other great tunes,I have no Desire and Lifetime Guarantee been my two favorites. It is a shame that with all the crap that's has come out lately such a great album could be forgotten.
I believe that Peter Schilling was one of the most underrated singers in the 80's."
