Fascination Space (Audio CD)

Customer Review

After the excellent single "Heart? Lost" is now the new album by Farin Urlaub Racing Team appeared.
"Fascination Space" is after total cheerfully cheeky debut "Holidays at last," the earnest melancholy "At the end of the sun" and the experimental "The truth about lying," the fourth studio album of Mr. vacation solo career.

But the long wait was worth the drive? This question I try to answer, at least from my personal view after a few runs on the album.

The CD itself is located in the usual economic cardboard packaging, as was the case with the other albums. The shell is a whole very chic, and the cover will like.
Unfortunately, the booklet is this time a little disappointing, instead of quite usable photographs of landscapes, etc., there are unfortunately only portrait photos of the band members, which can also be seen on the official website.
Really a pity.

But the most important thing still remains the music that is in the package in spite of everything.

1. My Song

Album opener. And what a. According to, quickly and concisely. For me personally, the best opener of Mr trip ever. Bring an in mood and convinced with what the rest of the album characterizes largely Rock.
10/10

2. Dynamite

A very stubborn song. At first, I even got a headache, but now I like it quite well. A pretty rocking midtempo song, the beats clearly in the division of society or architectural criticism. After opener some getting used to, but you get used to after repeated listening to him.
8/10

3. What the world needs now

Quick, rock, funny text The idea of ​​denouncing lethargy in a song and the people to move, the Ar ... hochzukriegen is certainly not new, but the implementation is very well done.
9/10

4. Heart? Lost

The famous single. Quick, rock, cynical (I repeat myself). I must say that this song is really aged well, and me after the appearance of the single still captivates after the weeks. That is why there is this time the full
10/10

5. AWG

Quick, ro .... wait, a piano!
A very optimistic song that something "has passed over" from "The Doctors" recalls, therefore suggests not constantly to think only of the future and to waste time pondering.
I liked the beginning very well, losing after repeated listening, but some of its attraction.
Despite everything, the song takes you to the first four sledgehammers some time to breathe.
7/10

6. Today Dancing

The inevitable ska song. Really makes mood perform mentioned in the title activities, even if it in the text actually is about something else entirely. Above all, the bridge of the song awakened hopes that the song finds its place in the set list of the concert later. Fits.
9/10

7. iDisco

Pop song with southern charm. And one theme that socially critical and cynical might not be. For me one of the best songs on the album and Farin ever. Only one thing I would say: Do not uncouple a single, otherwise the song will be, unfortunately, probably sung by the song sung in the audience soon in every Schunkel tent.
10/10

8. Find your good

I found not so great in the beginning but has somehow but then fixed in the head. A very quiet song that wants to do something for self-confidence. Quite nice, but certainly not the song of the album.
8/10

9. Do not be afraid

Once again quickly and rocking. Unfortunately, I will not warm with the song despite repeated listening. He murmurs to himself, and the text is to "Nichimgriff" nothing earth-shattering new more. For me the slip on the album.
5/10

10. Fan

ZeiDverschwÄndung 2.0. But I like it quite well, especially since the text was allegedly tinkered only quotes from former fans. Musically the whole thing is reminiscent of American mass-punk bands Greenday mark, but can not imagine that the whole thing is in view of the subject even desired. The song lives almost by his own joke, lyrically and melodically.
9/10

11. Newton was right

War, especially in the auditions very disappointed with the song. And now ... has it changed completely.
The verses are very consistent, and the beginning a tired chorus builds up over the song steadily on, the Bridge has neatly pepper behind. One of my album highlights.
10/10

12. The saddest

Quiet lovelorn song with a loud Bridge. In itself, the song is really very beautiful, melancholic and atmospherically, but it was hard for me, I suddenly admit to the previous song on the topic and the slower pace. Some take it to be sure something bad, but the song would rather "At the end of the sun" fitted on. On fascination space it looks like a ... well, alien.
As part of the album: 7/10, song of its own: 9/10

13 3000

Reminiscent initially of "Gobi Todic," is but then quite different. (Again) quickly, rocking and social criticism. Personally I like very well.
9/10

14. Summer

Placebo meets Billy Talent. At former verses and chorus remember very that Bridge sounds then initially very like "This is how it goes" The second one from tape. In addition to "Do not worry" for me one of the weaker songs on the album, but could still be live what.
6/10

15. Always with you

Begins quietly, but builds in the course of the song massively to volume, and brings a. Itself in angry mood As "disarming" previously, one of the songs, through which you can still puzzle in years, what is at stake. Personally, I think the song really captivating nd fascinating, and also find that it works very well as the last song of the album. Perhaps had the "saddest" in the tracklist? Invite him to bring over more fitting of his mood for this song, but that's not the point now. Really great song.
10/10

Overall, the album has me so very confident, and can be seamlessly joined to the other albums.
Rockig, coherent and makes you want to come Concerts!
