Reliving the greatness of

In 1979 I was given my first own tape recorder. At that time they took the music just from the radio on - after all, it was once a week time Sondocks hit parade, there were 3 SWF (and not SWR 3) and there was BFBS. On the very first cassette (which I still have today) is located (next to Pop Muzik M, Does Your Mother Know ABBA or My Shirona of The Knack ...) the "Logical Song". At that time, for me one of the best pieces of music ever. The corresponding record was my big brother. I spent hours in the rumpus room to listen to this record again and again. I was 12th

Today - 30 years later - I have masses of pop and other music verkonsumiert purchased and given away again, recorded and erased again and finally stored as MP3 on a hard drive. These 30 years could not harm Breakfast in America. Not in the slightest.

The five young men had the style they invented to CRIME OF THE CENTURY and the next productions simply led, perfected down to the finest. Here are 5 real passionate musicians at work, and you can hear every single sound. In Germany Supertramp had failed dan big throw until then. With Breakfast In America they carried him - worldwide. Whether the commercial success reduces the quality of the recording? I do not see it that way. Songs like "Child Of Vision" are easy to fly, "Just another nervous wreck" - just great. The details in the arrangements, and the way how Supertramp celebrate the song structures were then unique and are still unsurpassed. "Take The Long Way Home" is - according belongs - still a madness.

The peculiarity was in the 70's always in the interplay of opposites of Roger and Rick Davies Hodgon. It is precisely this friction was this perfect blend of indigenous, blues-tinged numbers of Davies and those raised deliriumartigen arrangements by Hodgson. A bit like a good drug intoxication.

Breakfast in America celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. In times where there are deluxe editions of the blödsinnigsten plates, I miss a special edition of BREAKFAST and other Hodgson / Davies plates in particular. Where is the Collector's Edition with digital dailies, demos, alternate takes, liner notes, etc. If an album has earned a special edition, then this. Since the A & M strategists sleep. Well, as long as I console myself with the Gold version of MFSL forged.

Who is not his own calls this album - especially the younger readers of this review: do you a favor and you ordered this CD. Take some time out than an hour and listen to just go there. Then remember how pop music has developed in the last 30 years. If you then at the end thinking, hey that is to be so old? - Then you know: This is an absolutely timeless classic and one of the best pop albums in history.
