5.0 out of 5 stars Review from a Philippine Nena Fan Who Knows German, June 4, 2001

By	Glenn (San Juan, Metropolitan Manila, Philippines) - See all my reviews

This is the first album of the original Nena band, whose members were Gabrielle Susanne "Nena" Kerner( Vocals ), Rolf Brendel( Drums ), Uwe Fahrenkrog-Petersen( Keyboards ), Juergen Dehmel( Bass ), and Carlo Karges( Lead Guitar ). It contains the following songs:

1. Kino 2. Indianer 3. Vollmond 4. Nur getraeumt 5. Tanz auf dem Vulkan 6. 99 Luftballons 7. Zaubertrick 8. Einmal ist keinmal 9. Leuchtturm 10. Ich bleib' im Bett 11. Noch einmal 12. Satellitenstadt

The most popular song of this album is undoubtedly "99 Luftballons", which became a number one hit worldwide in 1984. It is currently still the only German-language pop hit to ever achieve this status. Although I personally like every song found in this album, the songs "Kino", "Vollmond", "Nur getraeumt", and "Leuchtturm" particularly stand out as excellent songs for me. Therefore, I highly recommend this album to everyone--both Nena and non-Nena fans alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review by a Philippine Nena fan who understands German, June 1, 2001

By	Glenn (San Juan, Metropolitan Manila, Philippines) - See all my reviews

This album is the first one released by the former German music band Nena. It contains twelve songs: "Kino"( Cinema ), "Indianer"( Indians ), "Vollmond"( Full Moon ), "Nur getrauemt"( Only Dreamt ), "Tanz auf dem Vulkan"( Dance on the Volcano--Playing With Fire ), "99 Luftballons"( 99 Air Balloons ), "Zaubertrick"( Magic Trick ), "Einmal ist keinmal"( One Time Is No Time ), "Leuchtturm"( Lighthouse ), "Ich bleib' im Bett"( I Stay/Remain in Bed ), "Noch einmal"( Still/Yet One More Time ), and "Satellitenstadt"( Satellite City ). Undoubtedly the most commercially successful album of this band, NENA has several wonderful songs and there is a great variation in style among the songs in this album. Of the twelve songs of this album, five also became part of the original soundtrack of the German film "Gib Gas, ich will Spass"( Give Gas, I Want Fun ) in which the German music artists Markus Moerl, Enny Gerber( of the former German music band Morgenrot--Morning Red in English ), and Nena Kerner( the lead singer of the former Nena band ) starred. These five songs are "Indianer", "Vollmond", "Nur getraeumt", "Tanz auf dem Vulkan" and "Leuchtturm". The most popular song on this album is undoubtedly "99 Luftballons", which became the very first German-language pop hit to become number one worldwide and no other German-language pop song has achieved that status since then. Three of the songs found in this album also have English-language counterparts: "Kino"( "At the Movies" ), "Nur getraeumt"( "Just A Dream" ), and "99 Luftballons"( "99 Red Balloons" ). I highly recommend this album to everyone, not only to Nena fans, but also to non-Nena fans who really appreciate music.
