Kunze is not indispensable ...

End of December celebrated HRK together with his fans on two nights at the Capitol Hannover to its 25th anniversary on stage, and presented on the occasion also quite a few songs from the new album. Both evenings were true happenings, especially with Heiner Lürig and Martin Huch two longtime companions again stood on the stage with. Lürig has again produced after the trip to Franz Plasa with "tailwind" and contributed a couple of songs. Despite the excellent Jörg Sander, Leo Schmidthals and Jens Carstens, who debuted in "tailwind" in Kunze team, as are back with this, as Kunzes life annuities and stomach keyboardist Matthias Ulmer. Thus, the band offers the best that we have in this country at present. Anyone who has seen them live knows that.
"The original" provides solid and more traditional (and less worn) fabric, which was first published by BMG, because the deal with the WEA after more than 20 years was deadlocked. No bulky things, for two potential and actual singles. "More than this" is the truly anthemic anthem for the Protestant Church in May, at which already the ghosts. The song is sold in limited edition on the HP of the Kirchentag. "Always there for you" there twice, and therefore comes as a double single soon to market. The identical text is perched on two completely different musical transformations, even of Heinz, one of Heiner.
"My true colors" is reminiscent of the dynamics of "Daredevil", "Get Close" is one of the distinctive dreamlike Kunze ballads. The Hammer Song for the eternal Kunze-Top 10 but is expected to be "K". A tribute to Franz Kafka, who is indescribable to the point, and is made very carefully. Each Kafka friend will get tears in my eyes, in the face of this great song, as it really can only write HRK.
Heinz is after 25 years still there and still flocking exellente musicians around him. Although this album is going to land in the upper middle of his discography to my taste rather it than enough for 5 stars. Because for Heinz applies what he himself once said about Lou Reed: Who has made only two types of plates: good and excellent.
