Sometime 1978, Marius sick of überproduziertem, too smooth sounding Peter Hesslein sound of the first three albums (The first time, bittersweet, all alone I war's not go there). For a German musician, he had thus indeed had considerable success, but he wanted the record company no longer patronized him. So he went by its own account to his manager and took him up to his chest: "There are now two choices, either I stop, or I get of you 'nen wiping where drinsteht:. Total artistic freedom" As we all know, got he the new treaty and a new producer (Lothar Meid). Then we went for a few days in the studio and out came an uncouth rock 'n' roll record in a downright snotty atmosphere. It is an authentic document and was ultimately Marius' real breakthrough . So easy it sounds, so only Marius alone knows how much effort was used to make the album of course and appear effortless. Westlife was incredibly clever in choosing his songs. He now had the required artistic freedom, which he used, by deliberately creative restrictions imposed what is no contradiction. The smaller the world, the more complete the knowledge of the artist, and therefore the greater its creative choices. He invented a limited world and number of characters (fit in all significant on the cover), which he sang with intense and broad knowledge. So you can still listen to 100 times and go with almost 25 years emotionally with this excellent and honest plate and warm pour over cool songs like "thickness", "Willi usury" or "Margaret" with laughter. Peppermint is just unique and largely free from clichés, which is a rarity and drifted him fans in droves.
