You can easily see that these dude are absolutely trustworthy. And their fluffy & funky AOK absolutely rules. Quite a bunch of "hits" on this album. Charting #1 is the uptempo pearl Manchde Mädchen sind wie Herbst followed by the mellow groover Lass Mich Frei, the funky jam An meine christlichen Freunde. Cherry on top: the pseudo reggae "killer" Das kann nicht Freiheit sein. SERIOUSLY!

You may stop asking yourself what Tony Visconti did when he was not producing records for people like T-Rex, David Bowie, Osibisa, Marsha Hunt, Gentle Giant, Sparks or Haysi Fantayzee. The answer is funky music and karate (see cover). I don't care much about the Karate, but the funky music sho nuff turns me on!

The sought after only solo album by the Martin Circus member is a süperunique mix of chanson and various worldly influences. I find it quite difficult to describe the music, except from calling the arrangements brilliant. "Irresistible Pop Not Pop by a Progrocker" might be too obvious? Maybe you just listen and hear what I mean?
