5.0 out of 5 stars Review From Pop Culture Press- "Der Einziger Weg", October 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Der Einziger Weg ("The Only Way" -- Love theme from "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation" 1994 Film) (Audio CD)

I own some weird music. But nothing compares to the hypnotic, vaguely menacing offering from the Queen of Punk and the undisputed King of the Texas Chainsaw Massacres. I can't think of a more melancholy, guttural language that would suit La Harry's voice with any more love. Her voice envelops the language, caressing the harsh consonants into eager submission. The German version "Der Einziger Weg" ("The Only Way")has me reminiscing about an album I bought in 1979 of Kurt Weill's "Three Penny Opera" featuring Lotte Lenya. Never before had I heard the siren call of sexual destitution and corruption. Until now. "I am a Berliner when in your bedroom" reeks of Christopher Isherwood, Sally Bowles and the life of the caberet.This song is haunting and poignant and it demands a visceral response. Robert Jacks (AKA Leatherface) co-wrote the lyrics with La Harry and his velvet, subtle tenor is a great complement to her low alto timber. After all, life is a cabaret ol' chum. Come to the cabaret. (Blythe Christopher)

5.0 out of 5 stars I could listen to this song all day..., July 27, 1999

In German or English, this song is the bomb! I just love it! Sexy, world-weary lyrics lovingly wrapped in an achingly beautiful melody that lingers in your head hours after you hear it. Deborah Harry's always-wonderful singing takes on a sweetly dangerous quality which is well matched by the exquisite longing in Robert Jacks' ethereal vocals. (I just wish he were also featured on the fabulous "Glitter Mix.") When Ms. Harry sings, "und kommen," you can practically hear her cigarette and fishnet stockings! If you like sensual music with a rueful edge, you need to get this cd!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sultry, Heartbreaker of a Duet, March 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Der Einziger Weg ("The Only Way" -- Love theme from "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation" 1994 Film) (Audio CD)

Debbie Harry's sultry, smoldering voice has aged like a fine wine and this song showcases her voice perfectly. Robert Jacks' sweet, tender alto blends beautifully for a most pleasurable listen. You can almost smell the smoke and taste the stale beer. "Ah, love...indeed!" This cd is a must for all Debbie Harry fans old and new.
