Limited to 300 pieces of colored (orange) vinyl. * Excellent debut album full of wit and charm from a kind of German supergroup, consisting of Paul Konopacka, Torben Leske (both from Herrenmagazin), Kristian K?hl, formerly Findus, on bass the former Jupiter Jones bassist Klaus Hoffmann and on vocals J?rkk Mechenbier, known from Love A and Schreng Schreng & La La. Musically you can easily classify the record as punk, but there is much more to it than you might think at first sight. As a blueprint the intersection of their earlier combos works, the 11 tracks deliver, as diverse and layered as their five composers, a memorable journey, which starts somewhere with good, German-language pop music and reaches over postpunk, rock nuances and songwriter influences, until you end up, yes, with substantial punk. Trixsi's instrumental and lyrical style is multifaceted and varied, ranging from the normal everyday desperation and the doomed attempt at senseless adaptation to the most infantile absurdities. It's a real treat that I would like to recommend to every friend of her former liaisons as much as to every fan of Blumfeld and Tomte. * Glitterhouse
