From Petrel, nightingale, rhino and other adventures

The random number generator or whatever it brings together the 3rd and 7th LP of Puhdys here on this disc. Between them appeared "Rock'n'Roll", "The great successes" and "Pearl Fishers".
The LP "Petrel" (for the first time will receive a Puhdys record even a "real" name) of 1976 lays equal vigorously with driving beat on the basis of the same name Gorky's poem entitled Song vigorously going on, then the hit "lifetime" who finished 1976 1st place in the hit parade placement of GDR broadcast and may be missing until today in any live performance and (with Toni Krahl) learned just on the solo CD "engine" a further variant, the life time is thus further extended.
Tranquil and serene continues with "When I wanted to be a child" and "rent".
"Fall asleep and catch the dreams" is the first cover song of the Puhdys since, from a performance at the pop festival in Sopot (here is also the title screen wardrobe justified) this from the Polish group 2 + 1 borrowed (dt text.: Dieter Schneider).
My favorite heralds the B-side, the epochal work "Journey to the Center of the Earth" in the now completely impossible broadcast grade excessive length of nearly 6 minutes and also this is, as well as from "Petrel" a remnant to the present-day live concerts not lost when Maschines grater in Medley leads over the "Ho, ho, ho, we drove the longing we not drive fame and money, we drove the desire for the center of the world."
Nestled in the two hard blast "laughter and silence" (number 4 in the year-charts) and "On the way" is Quasters sentimental "loneliness" (6th place of the year hit parade).
The proven authors sidecar Lasch / Tilgner contributed the lyrics.

Three years on, in 1979, still drumming Gunter Wosylus because the first 10 wild years are rocked. Time for the anniversary appears befitting a new LP with a rousing cover, which has even made it to the 2014er AMIGA calendar.
And the very first title, Sigmund Jähn thank is my top favorite, so to speak, the continuation of the Icarus saga, here's contemporary subtitled with the journey to the stars. I agree without reservation all the fans that this piece of desire again live, because there is still time! Still.
Napoleon riding in Dresden, the baker's wife and thousand-mile Zuhaus (14th place in the annual hit parade 1979) act not only the deep-sea fishermen of the East German fishing fleet, but quite by chance, the XI. World Festival in Havana (1978) with the participation of the Puhdys. No, not when fishing!
The polyphonic close to life and death (10th place in the annual hit parade 1979) terminates the A-side. But of course it is here on this disc, moreover, nothing to remember in the economy version and as we continue we left to the "evil" Falk and the "poor" Nightingale their fate with a hard pace in the.
Quaster goes very poetic to the streets in the night to land in jail. What's happening? . The No. 1 - Hit of 1979 is due to: He thought only of the very big thing, but mention the grid. And he believed that it succeeds in the very big thing. The implementation of an idea, the fate of to address "jail brother" very forceful implementation in -Stroke.
Exoticism with the flute playing Peter Meyer in the to be released Vogel joins before it is again quite funny in the 1979 already as Oldie (ca. 1974/75 recorded on the radio) applicable "hearing and seeing" with the crazy rhino.

Again, all texts (except one) by Lasch / Tilgner.
Conclusion: Even after so many decades, an album that is in intensive listening very fresh, unused, dynamic, rock, poetic into the hearing, the veins flows to make it absolutely clear what good German-language rock was worth and even risen immensely today is worth, given the general detergent tooting! Thanks guys, thanks a lot!
