Radio Goethe Volume 3 The third Radio Goethe compilation has just been released and, although the other two are great, this one really rules supreme! Starting out with one of my new favorite songs certainly didn't hurt, "Augen Auf" by Oomph rocks and I am hopelessly addicted to it! And with bands like Metallspürhunde from Switzerland, Megaherz, Eisbrecher and Tanzwut there can be no question that even some of us still "getting into" the German music scene will probably recognize some of this music, either from the Radio Goethe program or forums or word of mouth... But the best part of this CD is that, even bands I'm not really familiar with, have some excellent songs included and make me want to buy more of their music! This is, of course, the whole purpose of these compilations, introducing us to new music and bands, and this new CD does it brilliantly! I liked almost everything on it and, considering that it has many different styles of music, from medieval rock to techno to alternative to... whatever, that's saying something about the quality of music here! Well, ok, maybe I wouldn't go on a shopping spree based on *every* band, but since this is a compilation, that decision is completely dependent on the listener and there is alot to listen to - 32 bands on two CD's and all this for $5??? Madness! All I can say is that I'm really impressed with this CD & will be listening to it alot AND buying some new music soon! Congrats to Arndt on a job well done! And if you don't buy this CD, especially considering the price, you need to spend the rest of your life kicking your own ass! Mikki Landers 6/04 Get it from: |
