Between tenderness and anger ...

... Succeed Konstantin Wecker perhaps the production of his life.
What the songwriter presented here along with his faithful companions, can hardly be surpassed in energy, ingenuity and inspiration well.
Remains true to the content Constantine, is still looking for a more just world and inner peace, which in his opinion can only succeed if it remains true to itself and interferes - or rather, by tenderness and rage.
The production and arrangements are used so perfect and varied that one might say, to have never had such a production of a singer-songwriter in his hands. You can tell in every small detail, as worked lovingly and energetic here.

Among the songs:
The theme song can be described as very liberating, rocking self-discovery guide that energy and desire, is what makes music with here is transmitted straight to the handset. Wonderful, especially as an opener !!! The allusion to Erich Mühlsams poem "The revolutionaries' is the fans do not miss out well.
"Absurdistan" is, as well as "The Chancellor", a delightfully sarcastic reckoning with politics and economics, the two songs are fundamentally different through the instrumentalization. "Absurdistan" is a very melodic rock number, the "Chancellor" rather political cabaret. The music video is also to class.
Very poetic, it then continues with the two love songs "Because I love you", a beautiful reggae song, which also Medusas, Venus and Orpheus occur, and the sad, but not hopeless "swan song".
A comparison of these two songs shows how diverse - and fascinating - alarm clock love poetry is. If you see "The Chancellor" then as a love song, the comparison is even more interesting.
"There is nothing good" is a winking call to act in "Ladies of the Kings" is finally, in the style of alarm clock - classic "high society", charged with the 'rich, beautiful and superficial'.
"Conflagration", many fans probably largely already known, appears in a bombastic remake with powerful drums and African choir, in which even the final punky "The Virus" is about the market players again on the collar.
Constantine was also "outrage" is a call to intervene against injustice etc., inspired here by a pamphlet of Stéphane Hessel, who fought in 1948 for human rights and against dictatorship, oppression and financial capitalism. The production of this song is so consuming that could be taken by surprise at the first hearing of the smooth variety, urgency and energy of exceptional songs. Pippo Pollina Also, has collaborated with the Konstantin quite a few times, here are the honor and added alarm singing with his interesting voice.
"Buonanotte Fiorellino" adds Konstantin by some German verses is, to melt away and has, presented as an alarm clock the song for the first time to the public earlier this year, may enjoy great acclaim.
"It comes to an end" is then a bit sad, "SoScheeSchoA" and "Tropferl in the sea" very contemplative and poetic, especially these last two numbers leave through their impressive depth again the poets come to full fruition in Constantinople, could they take up readily in a book of poetry.
For those who "Because I love you" could not get enough of the fantastic, the CD stops then "Tropferl in the sea" still a 'lost track' - surprise in store.
Thus succeed Alarm Clock a calming, peaceful end to a perfect production, which proves once again in as many genres Konstantin is at home.

You can tell his texts that the Muses have probably snuggled beginning of the year very close to him, but just at this album you have in particular to emphasize the musical variety and ingenuity of alarm, Jo Barnikel and Co..
Boring the CD will certainly never be, to exercise the overall mood too much attraction to the handset from, including the diversity of individual songs and the enthusiasm of the musicians will play its part. Hopefully they will but also perceived as what it is, namely an urgent call to get involved, to be active and his rage (and affection) to let the atrocities and beyond run wild addressed in the CD, because "it Nothing good happens unless you do it ".

Thank Konstantin !!!
