The Kings of Black-Forest-Surf are back after 15 (!) years with a new album. The two veterans Torpedo Tom (organ, vocals) and Willi del Mare (bass guitar) have with Beat Br?ngo (drums) and Manni Mabuse (guitar) finally a BEAT-powerful troupe at the start again. Most of the songs are instrumental as usual and swing between surf, beat and easy listening, among them such hits as "Flatfoot on Texas Pass", "for a handful of oats" or the brilliant opener "L.E.O.P.O.L.D." with vocal intro. With "hab' keine Lust heut zu vertehn" (Blizzards) and "die girls hau'n ab" by the Motown producer trio Holland-Dozier-Holland there are also two great cover versions - with vocals, of course. The secret single hit "Dufte!" actually reminds a bit of the aeronauts. "That's how good a contemporary interpretation of teenager music of the 60s can sound" (original sound Will del Mare).
