Lower Breaking barriers!

This album is a breakthrough, as the fleet Opener trying to say in the truest sense of the word. I was just wondering about this new restored version, which is why the title run each on average one to two seconds faster than the old CD. Particularly with reference to the long sixth title falls to the. But that's just rubbish. More important is that the sound quality has increased, and it's really fun, this album re-discover. "Breaking Down Barriers" is a feast for the ears, a true Fetzer. "Hearts in the Right Place" offers a good beat with title song, which is repeated at the end. Overall, perhaps extended a bit too long for my taste. "Just Like Belgium" can again arise through the fleet rhythm and the rousing sounds of piano, guitar and saxophone joy. "Nobody Wins" is a swan song for separation in relationships and know by the catchy chorus move. 1983 was published as a French B-side entitled "Je Veux De La Tendresse", as well as in the French "Fox" album. It does not come as the only art title of the album, written by Elton, but Jean-Paul Dréau. "Fascist Faces" in turn provides good beat, but the verse-chorus-method works already quite trite after three minutes. An outstanding highlight of this CD is clearly the sixth title, "Carla / Etude / Fanfare / Cloe". The Introduction "Carla / Etude" has a gorgeous very special concert, where Elton must make all his skills. His Synfonieorchester at this point, kudos! The second part of "Fanfare" sounds unusual and a reconciliation to the great song "Cloe", which gives a dreamy ballad. In the refrain heard again: The Philharmonic symphony orchestra. Super arranges! The subsequent groovy "Heels of the Wind" is again a rousing song to dance. "Elton's Song" with its piano focus is a moody, melancholy, yet eerily romantic song that should enable almost any mood to boil. With incredibly catchy melody Elton sings in the heart of (un) happily in love. For me one of the best Elton songs ever. The video published to that time meant a minor scandal, because it shows a boy who falls in love with another, slightly older boys. Elton's affections are greeting. Otherwise, you can translate the text confidently on a normal hetero-love. :-) The final "The Fox" with beautiful harmonica sounds provides a successful conclusion of convincing by the Bank Elton John album. It brings to my mind daydreams and longing for rurality, harmony and solitude. Overall I give this brilliant album all 4 stars, because it is for me the barrier-breaking works of the 80s in Elton's career. But there are even better works of Elton. The barriers of the late seventies-works seem nevertheless bridged already here. Hats off, Elton!
