After me the previous album "tailwind" had excited exception, I was with "The Original" initially uncertain and feared a return to "alter ego" times. Meanwhile, I hear the disk often and have to say: She's really good. I personally liked it even without Heiner Lürig (very reason was "tailwind" bulky), but have all the pieces on this record just a high quality. And as so often in HRK / Lürig there again great melodies. With the ballad "Always there for me" and "Go close to me" can I start little; even with "more than" would have been less. For me, the highlights: "In the coffin," wow; "End with you", even if it is less profound than other parts of the plate and stop only "just for fun"; and "The second man". But especially: "K." - Respect to Matthias Ulmer, who has produced it. Generally, I find that this record is produced very great, everything is clear, discreet and not mixed to gimmicky. For me, though, "tailwind" my favorite HRK plate in recent years remains - things like "Killroy was here" and "I'm sitting so as" not to be found on "The Original". But anyway, a very successful HRK disc, one of the best in recent years (and all of whom were not bad). Amazing how HRK is getting better. Am really looking forward to the next panel!
