It features 12 songs long truly dreadful whining and Gesuder in which one does not know how one happens. While on the one hand gripped by sheer terror and all the states gets in singing and voices that are located about as far from the original like Neusiedl am See Vienna-Floridsdorf, but one the other hand, in the sparse musical accompaniment (mainly acoustic and E- guitar, occasionally harmonica) quite inclined wegzukippen and lapsing into minute sleep.

Normally I would review neither a serious nor a Molden- Nino from Vienna album; I know their music and know from experience that these tend not meet my taste. So why should I say anything negative about their works when they are anyway not relevant for me?

In this case, it behaves differently. "Our Austria" only includes new interpretations of popular songs of the great Austrian artists, which I cherish. And there I am well personally committed to share my opinion and my impressions. Of course it is legitimate to make such an album, no question about it; but it is also legitimate to enjoy it or not.

In "Our Austria" I lack almost everything: Pep, humor, independence, spontaneity, pace. Only the underlying concept - songs from the dark corners of Vienna - shimmers reasonably by. What a classic à la "Hopeless" (Wolfgang Ambros, 1977) could have been, sinks into boredom and vocal musical sentimentality. Who likes this album - which is easily possible with the class texts - which are probably the originals unknown. Nothing against Nino from Vienna or Ernst Molden (his vocal parts are the more tolerable); both artists are in their own way an asset to the Austrian music scene. However, this joint project I find ... very very stressful and unnerving ...

Some of the songs like in this kind of presentation might work at live gigs as adding or tipsy round, but pressed into groove or silver disc does not come over the. Art or no fun here - even if "Our Austria" perhaps as something should have been meant as a late Heller / Qualtinger reincarnation - this, reduced to the bare skin and bone-cover versions are the original artist Ambros, Danzer, Maron and Co. presented in the form of justice. Really bad - both Falco title "Night Flight" and "Ganz Wien"! Although I am convinced that it is possible only with voice and guitar, much more captivating to interpret these songs in such a stripped down manner; but that does not happen here. The reactions seem powerless and forced. Too bad about the sound carrier material! Sorry! Please no "Volume 2" put out!

How does it go so well at SAB's "pig-radio" after the solo: "YES! YES - PRACTICE"
