Already on the debut we hear this quite clearly and that is sound-wise anyway where then also, World Of Today` - his best and most successful album - is. Sexy it is mainly the use of the many rocking guitar sounds and with the synth sounds which he used at that time he was on the front line anyway. The album has only seven songs and up to, World Of Today` is none the groove monster, Lovemachine` really equal, but the other 5 tracks here are maybe not much worse.
, Reality` is a floating, fragile song, (but the was with a wistful, melancholy mood and minimal percussion, in which one wonders why that was not already used in a soundtrack and could have attributed to the Wave-Pop's then not yet).
, Musicexpress` turn is somehow Disco, but ahead rhythmically much more interesting and also his time by just over 3 years old - and he also has a good tune yet. With, Camillo` we hear that the man had the groove of reggae actually understood what his successful performance in 1983 also justifies the first white musician at Reggae Sunsplash in Jamaica. Reggae should then also play on the following albums a much greater role than in World of Today`.
That he verabeitete also shows rock and blues influences, Be What You Are` quite clear that despite its moderate tempo pretty presses. Also, I Wanna Be free` has a reggae groove, but mixed with funk and disco - rhythmically very interesting approach and a quite successful combination.
He that the general public never got the recognition that he deserves is perhaps as a typically Austrian fate that he was but a very good musician, as evidenced incurred over the years collaborations with musicians such as Curt Cress, Jose Feliciano , Karl Ratzer and Chaka Khan. For Falco Hauenstein produced the way the B-side of, Amadeus` Maxi, Urban Tropical` and carrying rhythmically also unmistakably his handwriting. And mingled with a bit proud one must be an Austrian to Kurtl already, because he was one of the few from that country attended the Interntaional also in the music scene for a stir. , World Of Today` is anyway a great album - still today.
