Customer Review

or: a rough diamond obtained by Robert Ponger his touches. Just Ponger is responsible for the sound of this album mainly responsible and how great was his influence on Falco's debut can be heard best if you look at another Ponger production of the same year - sounds Reinhold Bilgeri's debut album. Drum Patterns, synth, guitar licks, all can be found there in the same style.

The songs are almost all consistently great class because it hooks, hooks and also have melodies that you no longer get out of your head. Already the opener, Zviel heat 'is great Popkino with great subtle text and danceable at that. The Commissioner was the perfect song at the right time and had a result of text and funky smelling the Bronx musical accompaniment even something like underground iconic in itself that the big wide world of sound. , Seventeen Year 'is the lascivious disreputable Falco, who wants to provoke sent topics by taboo, and, on the run' one probably the most political songs that existed at the time of NDW, which also still clinging to this apocalyptic mood and anger of punk. Resplendent as stressful, impulsive and forward is the music of this song. , Ganz Wien 'as remnants from Drahdiwaberl times is anyway already the secret underground anthem Vienna's. , Burning machine 'is Falco's first pure pop song, the most likely in the, you'll be fine', everything is funny 'Atittüde the NDW fits, but it's also the song in which Falco for the first time this Viennese / American texts perfectly succeed. Behind us, the deluge ', and, No more school' may textually be safely considered a late pubertal outbreaks, although especially The second one has an irresistible pop melody. , Heroes of today 'is one of the best Bowie plagiarism ever recorded and, solitary confinement' certainly the undergroundigste and obviously strongly influenced by Joy Division - maybe Bauhaus influenced song on the album; gloomy and apocalyptic tone moderate Falco never again.

It remains as a whole Falco's best album, because of production-related megalomania of Young Romans was much too polished for this edgy contradictory artist. Falco 3 has too many compositional Auslasser, and, Emotional 'is an album far too overexcited and Hollywood standard. Only the time like a stone setting, Wiener Blut 'had then so moments like the debut, but it was at the time of its appearance already an anachronism.

Actually, incredibly, the 1981 Austrian was capable of such an international production, and this one can listen to the best wave-pop productions of the 80 count at all.
