Strong CD of PUR

"Seiltänzertraum", published in 1993, is still today one of the strongest PUR albums and can easily be seen as classics of the band. To some extent, this album marked the beginning of a new creative phase of the group after anno 1991 with a live Album had appreciated the early works of the band's history again in detail. Men notice when listening to the motivation of the band around Hartmut Engler and Ingo Reidl, with whom she then went into the studio, ready for something new, ready for a new challenge.
Musically, the album starts with a typical for the style of PUR piece. "Listen to me" is a catchy, witty pop songs with a soulful Liebesbotschaft But already in the following title track it is more serious and atmospheric to less than six minutes told Hartmut Engler from the dark side of fame and the fear of crashing. Overall, one of the most profound and most demanding tracks on the album.
The hit single "Indian" is again a radio compatible song, the excellent "New Bridges", the "turning until the wind up" quasi successor contains a message of tolerance and consideration. In "Never enough" to Engler is finally his Catholic upbringing and his concept of God apart.
The two strongest songs the album will (in addition to the title track) in my opinion, "Another Life" and "The Man at the Window". The former is a very intimate song about the suicide of a friend. Full spite and bitterness sings a deeply sad Engler one of tiefgängigsten and enervating pieces the group at all, on a par with the classic "kite to fly". The latter, however, is a song by Reinhard Mey with a very intelligent and melancholic lyrics, the band great arranged.
Ultimately convincing "Seiltänzertraum" but also on album length and offers apart from a few weaker songs ("Hey You", "You'll be fine") consistently solid to very good level, which makes the album one of the best of Pur. The "Remastered Edition "contains a bonus also three successful live tracks and a short comment.
