timeless, yet contemporary

The newly recorded classics on one disc, not require many words. The band was taking no chances here, you stick amazingly close to the original recordings. While Tide Is High looks a bit tinny, Dreaming and One Way win with Debbie's somewhat older and darker voice and the beautiful arrangements of retro synths even something. Overall, the admissions have quite its charm, the idea of ​​the disk, the new classics may be a marketing strategy to promote the new album, however, be also due to the condition that the band has sold the song rights of old hits, and with the admissions the possibility has yet to make to the old material (see Volkswagen Commercial).

Interestingly for the "real" fans probably download the new track collection Ghost of. The disc is consistently audible and now comes in a fairly commercial Latin, disco and pop sound. This is compared with the rather half-hearted production of Panic of Girls become a quite homogeneous and coherent album. Ultimately to pop music to be fun, met goal: good melodies, good beats blend with Debbie's voice. Whether the instruments of individual band members can now be heard in every track, I should not care. The only hangover for me the unspeakable Make a Way. Special beads that mesmerizing Backroom, the dancefloor bangers Mile High (I am waiting for remixes), the FGH Cover Relax and Euphoria. The three additional songs in the download version are a knallrosanes ZUsatzgeschänk of kitsch to the even Kylie fans had their fun. Conclusion: punk listener the first hour might be disappointed, who was open to Debbie's solo stuff. or good dance music like. likely to be happy here on the best album since Blondie Blondie or even The Hunter.
