Before we enjoy the gig in Copenhagen the 4th of December, we decided to have a kick off! Every week a new album in the spotlights!
Let's get started with Nosferatu!
Robert wrote a review about the album Nosferatu. Thank you Roberto!
Hi there!!
As we all eagerly await the upcoming HAL-release, I would like to take us all back to the first album; Nosferatu, and do a little review about it here......
Nosferatu is RR`s 2 cd debut-album and contains 28 tracks and is based on Werner Herzogs movie from 1979 with Klaus Kinski and Isabelle Adjani in the leading roles.....I highly recommend to watch the movie....
Back to the music of RR.......as being a debut-album they did an excellent job catching the spirit from the movie-scenes into their music....I even can imagine this album being done with a big Symphonic-orchestra.....it would be perfect!!
Because there is a "classic" and "symphonic" touch about this whole album......
cd.1. contains 14 tracks and some of them would fit in whatever set-list they would play without the movie-images....Lucy,Passero presto,Via da Wismar,La montagna, Saranno giorni tristi and Che giorno maledetto can easily stand on their own in a set-list without back-up from the movie....
cd.2. contains also 14 tracks and here its;La Nave,Che succede,Finalmente Qui,Ritorna, Il Diario Di Jonathan,Adesso So Il Perche.....and the superb and mind-blowing closing section;L`ultimo Incontro,Il Ritrovamento and Via Da Wismar (reprise) are all capable of making it on their own!!
While all these tracks can "stand"on their own in the other tracks there are often sounds or dialogues from the movie mixed in.... and in a beautiful way I must say....it is a "blast" to watch and listen to the music and movie in synchronicity....
All in all is Nosferatu a great album... but.....for "newcomers" it can be less easy to digest
without seeing the movie first maybe.....it is not a must but it helps to "visualize" the sounds and dialogues between the actors....
There is the know-how, the skill and the talent inside these guys..... but most important.... the passion, there is a "fire" burning inside when it comes to making music.....a debut-album on such a high level is "out of this world"!! The best way to enjoy the RR album is putting yourself in "relax mode" with a glas of wine or something else you like and let the music take you "away" ..........to heaven.....
Some tracks have been able to wet my eyes for real and I love every minute of it.....I really recommend this album to every RR-fan and every other music lover...because its well worth it!!
I can go on for hours here...but I won`t....I hope you enjoyed the review and if you don`t have Nosferatu yet?.......Well just get it!!!
