The title "Best Album of the Puhdys", this album has deserved in my opinion, even though many want to adorn their second album "The book" it. Why? It is the most diverse album that published this group, from the song "TV Show" and "The Seasons", which pay tribute to the then current NDW-time 'towards an instrumental titled "Computer dreams", which certainly does not Mike Oldfield and Jean -Michel Jarre wanted to compete, but very melodic and catchy, is up to the Puhdys typical powerful Poprocksongs, which one observes today hardly their age. Also you can find a cover version of "Hiroshima" on this album. From today's perspective, the Puhdys had arrived early to mid-80s at the height of their creativity and popularity. In particular, at live concerts they could with their songs electrify the masses and fill stadiums and of course show what kind of professionals they were, because unlike many other "artists" today sounded their live performance (almost) as well as the music on their albums. A typical East German phenomenon are the lyrics of this album. The theme "Peace" is very strong as well as on other albums of the time, probably due the then accelerated nuclear arms race between the superpowers, and SDI Co. The second group of songs dealing with human weaknesses, problems and aspirations, and if you listen carefully, the relevance of these texts recognize even today. Although there are no extremely salient titles like "Melanie" in album "Hot as snow" or are on the album "The Book" from the same album, yet this is the most balanced album. There is not one hangover, unless you can not live with the two NDW titles. Playing tips are "Fly with me", "desire" and "Computer dreams". Conclusion: Those who want to learn Eastern or East German music should listen here.
