Album Notes & Community Reviews

Riding the crest of the Neue Deutsche Welle, the D眉sseldorf trio achieved considerable domestic success with this sleek, highly synthesized offering. The album famously served as the soundtrack for the German film 'Der Fan', seamlessly blending driving, Kraftwerk-inspired electronic rhythms with undeniably catchy, romantic new wave melodies. It remains a quintessential piece of the era's German pop landscape.
