Strong as Two

Even his most loyal fans had hardly even seriously counted on being Udo Lindenberg someday again bring out such a brilliant album, as now with "Stark wie Zwei". Because really on this comeback had to wait quite a long time his fans. Looking back counted when Lindenberg last time with a new album conquered the Top 10 of the German album charts, then you have to go far back to the year 1984 where he took third place with "Götterhämmerung". Of course you can measure the quality of an album not only on commercial success. Even top albums like "Andrea Doria" or "Dröhnland Symphony" did not make it so his time in top chart regions. But sales have been a good indication of when a majority of the fans begins to turn away from an artist. And in Lindenberg this was around the end of the 80s, but not later than the early 90s of the case. The new album is now so enormously successful, is probably mainly due to two factors. First, it is really the best album since "Udopia" from 1981, and secondly, the international music market is high so dried out, the album that even remotely authentic, where even a real musician real thoughts and feelings expressed, sensational acts. In this respect Lindesbergs new album actually a sensation because it seems almost incredibly, someone after 20 years of apparent absence comes along with such a fresh, powerful and modern music and musical perhaps reached its peak. One should also make all the people involved in this album once again expressed his thanks. After all were of the instrumentation on production and arrangements to the recording technique here apparently only absolute professionals at work. If this is Udo Lindenberg's last album, then him a grandiose farewell work would have succeeded. We rather want to hope that it is only the beginning of a new wonderful creative phase. So, good luck Udo.
