Chic and groovy rotweißrotes Entertainment

A himself as hype-resistant einschätzender pop and rock fan older generation (like yours truly) would have had no problem with it, here to deliver a scathing when this disc was bad. But if it is really not. Storybook are cheeky, fresh, sometimes frivolous, often let the hedonists hanging, and swinging their music. That alone would of course not be enough for such a good rating, because is more to it, namely, good melodies, interesting lyrics and finally an authentic interpretation. And in this regard has her new opus abundant much! Pop and rock and roll that was Sexmusik always and is, "Say it out loud: You're behind my ass here," make the four lads always clear not only at a line like that specifically characterizes the theme song. That it not once is vulgar or stupid, but humorous and charming remains, and is something that we must consider as abusive in the best Austrian sense here makes the performance substantially. For this life does not have to be taken extremely seriously, as you can before five minutes as harmless classified soft drinks sing ("soft drink"), sing a in the scene classified as rather uncool "Barry Manilow", and in some supposedly banal as "paddling" music into art rock-realms car in front. My favorite number is "Maschin" - In the Groove, strong melody, and two eternal themes of Pop & Rock, namely love and everything that has to do with powerful engines, since combine excellently. Ever have all 12 songs beautiful hook lines and subtly interspersed rock and punk elements ensure that the pieces do not fall monotonically, but to groove yet at every turn white. Comes to mind the famous quote by the great radio Maestros George Clinton a "Free your mind, and your ass will follow!" Yeah, right, set yourself free and throw yourself in this music, they reach both your brain and your body! Betting that the old man the four Upper Austrians would find saustark?

Austria had would hardly apply in the 80s not own Talking Heads or Gang Of Four, however, Falco, the musical course was more or less out in the last 10 years of his life, and without his tragic death today as a cult figure (what little is known about him but says more about Austria and its dealing with culture and history). And Austria had a lot of interesting and strong bands in the nineties and in the new millennium, but no group like this, no red and white, Bloc Party about. So bassy pop and rock, with so much funk and groove, which there was little, and if so, with English lyrics, but not with good German. What is a picture book, sounds like new and refreshing, is Pop, as it should be, if he wants to be good entertainment. Picture book are the best ever heirs Falco without somehow being retro or even imitation, and they can well afford to quote him, such as "The finest silk". "It's hot in here, terribly hot ..." - yes, a hot plate has become, lads!
