One of my favourite albums in 1988.
Before Karl Hyde and Rick Smith formed UNDERWORLD, they were FREUR and had a hit with "Doot Doot".
 
01 Glory! Glory!
02 Call Me No.1
03 Rubber Ball (Space Kitchen)
04 Show Some Emotion
05 Underneath The Radar
06 Miracle Party
08 I Need a Doctor
09 Bright White Flame
10 Pray
11 The God Song

Did you know?
The Morse code in the beginning of the song "Underneath The Radar" reads "Think global, act local".

NATIONALGALERIE Herbstbeginn (1992)


Dear Readers,
today it is the beginning of autumn in the northern hemisphere - and since 1992 there is always one particular song that I get as an earworm a few days before as the title is "Herbstbeginn" - "Beginning of autumn".
It is a very, very catchy tune. Slow and with a positive attitude.
Most of you will not understand the lyrics but I still entrust this to you.
Have a listen...
