If you read my other reviews, you could be surprised that I am a great lover of Reinhard Mey. Since I deal with very Spock's Beard, Porcupine Tree, Transatlantic, Pink Floyd, Neal Morse ...! Reinhard Mey brought me with his songs but something like devotion and contemplation. He accompanied me for about 41 years. Many records and almost all CD releases I call my own. This double CD I own the record. I had my CD but also set in order to be able to listen in the car. These recordings have simply everything that makes Reinhard Mey. Heiteres, Contemplative and many wisdoms. But he has absolutely no alls with a wagging finger. In addition, Reinhard Mey, also maintains with this "Star Portrait" in the best sense. This CD is in my CD player after all these years still very, very often. Here really are his most beautiful songs on two pieces of silver. Leave me, my friends for a nice evening out (after looking at a few glasses of wine splurged), so I say goodbye it frequently with "Good night friends". And the "trilogy on Mrs. Pohl" I have experienced in a similar way during my studies with our landlord. However, Our Lady called Mrs Pohl Gausepohl. However, it was a very lovable and good soul. So a song like "I Think it was a good year," but you can still hear wonderful turn of the year. And my friends that I have lost all those years out of sight, I still like proste with "Come, pour my glass again" too! That Reinhard Mey could write in his early years as an old wise song as "a shame that you have to go," I was still very impressed. At my age now already some people have gone from me. This song can make you sad and still give strength. Thematically also includes one of my favorite songs of Reinhard Mey "Like a tree, which one falls" at the moment. Who wants it does not, upright and dignified to go the last step out of life? But the cheerful songs have lost its relevance over the decades nothing. In the "hot battle at the cold buffet" the ruthless greed at the trough of delicacies is clear. Certainly everyone has to make the experience of us that seemingly starving people completely misbehave at the buffet and fully dig their plates as if they had reached the last day of their lives. And as we experienced "Tatort" Experts can succumb to our prejudices, is the song "The killer is always the Gardener" abundantly clear! How is not the follower and still can show their colors, we are told in the song "I'm cut from that wood." As Reinhard Mey concerns about the May beetle came to prominence as a symbol of environmental degradation, it was in our area no parties like the "Greens". Environmental awareness was still a delicate budding plants. Reinhard Mey sings songs that move me as a listener, make thoughtful and exhilarating. Just as life is just and this singer knows how to take all this in his songs with fitting words. This double CD I want all those who put your heart who want to be entertained niveauvoll. Too bad that you can only give five stars in the evaluation, because with these songs compilation from Reinhard Mey early works were a starry sky to forgive.
