4.0 out of 5 stars Finally most of the hits on one CD, September 19, 2001

This CD is Quite expensive but it includes three tracks from Falco's Emotional album which is my favorite Falco album .It was never issued on a CD in this country for reasons unknown. It's frustrating because ALL of his other stuff IS available. It's just unfortunate that you have to pay such a high price for all the hits. It does include such fine classics as "Vienna Calling", "Rock Me Amadeus", "Der Kommissar", "Jeanny", and "Junge Roemer" but leaves off ALL singles from the Wiener Blut album. I guess it's a no win situation. Listen to "Emotional", "The Sound Of Muzik" and "Coming Home (Jeanny Part 2)" and you too will wish that the Emotional album was released on CD.

4.0 out of 5 stars R.I.P. "Falco" (1957-1998), June 3, 2006

This collection is an inexpensive overview of Falco's career. The music, new wave synth pop, sounds quite european. Yes, it is a compilation of an Austrian star singing in German. This is not a suprise to most. If you wish to enjoy some instant 80s nostalgia, pop the cd in.
"Der Kommisar" is sung in German. It is not the cover performed by AFTER THE FIRE. Hear it as it was meant to be... by the original artist.

I actually found this cd for less than half the price while vacationing in germany. so finding out how much I would have to pay here in the US let me know I chose the right one. I love the album pamphlet; its covered with great pix and every song is better than the last one.
