With the jacket to Olympus

To raise "Udopia" in the sky, is to carry coals to Newcastle. This is undoubtedly a masterpiece and a milestone of German music history.
In the summer of '81 I drove for a while every day a few kilometers by bike in our former neighbor city to ask at the local record store, whether "Udopia is already out".
The wait was worth it. The plate was then daily on my turntable and no work is the atmosphere of summer `81 from the perspective of young people as well again: stuffy, star intimate politicians and parents, anti-nuclear and NATO double-track decision-movement, punk is still present in Germany. , Popper suck, the summer is hot and, as Udo "in the streets of the fever! rises" in the homonymous song sings.

Udopia offers musically and lyrically a lot of variety. Heavier guitars (road rash) and Calm as the great love song "Ball in Colt". The album is aggressive, provocative, witty, thoughtful, dreamy.
Udo and Panikorchester were relaxed and at her best in this production. This was due certainly, that some of the songs were recorded in the Bahamas. This "summer feeling" can be felt at any point.

"Udopia" does not contain a single weak Song.Besonders characteristic is the anthem "against the flow" - my favorite song. More Playing tips: "Staßenfieber", "The jacket according Monakko" and "ball in Colt".

Genial that is included on the remastered "Udopia" version of the bonus track "No Future".
One of the best Lindenberg songs ever. A ballad with goosebumps guarantee. Udo at the piano with effects of Bowie / Brian Eno's "Heroes" song. This song fits perfectly on the plate.
