Let you not a - X before U - delude

Rather late, namely in 1990 with the album's release - X e U - and the song - Because we're back - I started me with BAP, and with their largely social, or confront socially critical songs intensively what probably it was that I come from a family where almost exclusively cheap folk music and horrible Schlagerpop was consumed so long that even regularly withered flowers voluntarily out of sheer misery in the living room.

1989, in the time when the images of German reunification and the elation of perpetual partying crowds for months around the world were, and where Germany also won the World Cup was in July 1990, a few months later, I felt in my own skin as a German at all unwell. In many places you could hear both on the streets and on the larger squares not the song of - unity, justice and freedom, but the other version, namely - Germany, Germany above all - loud sound. A little later burned the first asylum homes, attacks on foreigners became more frequent, and even with my two holidays, which I spent in the former Yugoslavia and in 1990 in Hungary in 1989, I was every day and in many situations with many arrogant revelers and shameful behaving German tourists faced not only nightly got drunk in the local establishment for the price of the equivalent 25 cents per pint of beer to unconsciousness, and later destroyed everything around them in their drunken little, but has also the impertinent insolence possessed either through private property to or even go to pee the local people in the front yards or in order to defecate.

In short order, I was ashamed to be a German, and I hid in that time my identity and nationality after Croatian sweatbands, heard with - Bikini - the textual equivalent of BAP, great Hungarian rock music, and gave every German tourist who approached me to understand: "Elnézést kérek, Magyar vagyok!" - "Excuse me, I'm Hungarian!"

So was the new album - X for EU - and the song - Because we're back - downright balm for my weeping soul, because Wolfgang Niedecken sang me literally from the heart. Yes, the Germans then went in fact the symptoms collective amnesia afterwards, and Niedecken hoped at the time that he that song - Because we're back - soon no longer have to sing live, because the Germans perhaps even be understood, and their behavior would change. Far from it, because to this day has to this sad situation in Germany, unfortunately, nothing changed. So Niedecken will probably often be with his band this page title in live concerts for the best, because many of these exuberant and often uncontrolled swigging till you drop people - I can celebrate as no longer say - should be the basis of their embarrassing social behavior really ashamed, because they are anything but a role model for the younger generation, the very early these days - usually 13 years - follows in the footsteps of their parents - Never before has the number of young people who were admitted with alcohol poisoning to the hospital higher than in the last few years. Nice that sometimes a German rock group has the courage to criticize very strongly this negative behavior, and to distance themselves from it.

The remastered double CD contains the album eight more songs, which are all top notch. BAP fans who just like I had the album already be here certainly strike again.
