Rio I. (Audio CD)

Customer Review

Who knows the "King of Germany" and expects Rio Reiser has to be disappointed on his first solo album from 1985 beer tent music, the must. Of the "Ton Steine ​​shards" fans Rio was at the time accused of being abgetrifftet into pop-stock. But that's not true. "Rio I" offers German rock at its best and is in keeping with tradition, the songs of "Ton Steine ​​shards". At the same time it allowed him the success of "Rio I" to pay off the debts left by the "broken" and could not eliminate even their manager, Claudia Roth.

"Rio I" offers the "King", an enigmatic feel-good song, a whole pallet of thoughtful, romantic and militant songs. "Junimond" is amply known in his cover version of "real" - and really boring for those who know the original. "Ogre" I find awesome, even the text (as in "all lies") high current (by the way, how many songs on "Rio I" still "broken" times arose). The ballad is always to consider that Rio was gay, and has experienced periods where the discrimination was homosexual life. So I always hear a lot of repressed emotions and a certain melancholy and loneliness of his love songs that are very authentic for all that very reason.

Musically and technically is the board performed flawlessly, but Rio had then opted for a sound that revives the very 1980 today. This makes the songs a bit of the timelessness that they have actually. Since "Rio I" but one of the most important and beautiful plates from the old Federal Republic before 1990, they should be in every household.
