Ohne Dich Kann Ich Nicht Sein...,
By Maarz (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ohne Dich (Audio CD)
"Ohne Dich" (or "Without You") is the newest single from Rammstein off of their album "Reise, Reise" (Or "Arise, Arise" or even "Voyage, Voyage". Some people feel that Rammstein's gotten soft since their first album "Herzeleid" (Heartache), but in fact this is the first song on all the other albums that is very much like the single "Seemann" (Sea Man) from their first album. "Ohne Dich" is soft, nostolgic and earnest- and Till sings with vibrato in this track- astounding us all (who knew he could sound even prettier?). This song has an incredible feeling to it, and enchanting words. It's truely the best single out of the three that came from "Reise, Reise". The PV isn't on this disc, but the six track single doesn't need to be enhanced to be worth the buy. Each mix is so completely different from the last that you feel like you've got a CD of completely seperate songs- and each one is more and more beautiful as you go along. THe "Mina Harker" mix is a duet between boy and girl and is gorgeous. "Sacred Mix" is just the vocal track accompanied by a brilliant organ score while the "Schiller Mix" is really the only actual remix of the song, with a techno beat and great strings, but the "Under Byen" remix is my favourite of them all. Once you hear it you'll agree that it is haunting and amazing, the heavy drums and complex piano running along in tragic notes, this CD is just so completely worth the buy. The last track is a beta version of "Ohne Dich" which they recorded for the album "Mutter" but decided not to use and is very good as well, though when they rerecorded it for "Reise, Reise" I think it came together better. Well, now you know, "Without you I cannot be" and without this CD the seconds will stand still- they won't be worth it.

A must have for collector's and fans alike,
By L. Wanamaker (Somewhere far away) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ohne Dich (Audio CD)
Rammstein has done a good job with this single. I admit, it is repetitive, but if you like the song "Ohne Dich" from "Reise, Reise", you'll like this single. The 6 tracks include:
01 Ohne Dich (Album version) 02 Ohne Dich (Mina Harker's version) Remix by Laibach 03 Ohne Dich (Sacred Mix) Remix by Sven Helbig 04 Ohne Dich (Schiller Mix) 05 Ohne Dich (Under Byen Remix) 06 Ohne Dich (Beta Version) The only track on this that I don't really like is the Sacred Mix. Otherwise, great single. Mina Harker's version makes an already pretty song beautiful with her female vocals, then accompanied by her male counterpart (in my opinion bringing the song down a bit but still good). The Sacred Mix changes the piano into an organ and turns the song into something you'd hear in a cathedral (my least favorite). The Schriller mix is a combination of the original song with a light techno beat. Pretty good. The Under Bryen mix is a little bit more techno oriented and slower than the original song, but not too bad. The final song is the beta version that Rammstein recorded (supposedly) for Mutter back in 2001. This version is a bit harder than the version we know of on "Reise, Reise". It's pretty cool to see the transition from the idea of the song to the final product. Overall, very good single. If you have a chance to see the video, watch it! It's awesome and worth the watch if you are a fan.

Haunting Song Gets Tweaked to Perfection,
By Doryphoros (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ohne Dich (Audio CD)
I don't know why I waited so long to purchase this incredible single, but now that I have listened completely through it a couple of times, all I have to say is wow. The first track is straight from "Reise, Reise" - so nothing new. The second track, Mina Harker's take on the song, is ok. I say ok, rather than great, because the hard male vocals accompanying her seem out of place with her softer singing style, and may strike a few as disconcerting. Also, the male vocalist switches "Ohne dich kann ich nicht sein" with "Ohne mich kannst du nicht sein" in a couple of spots, giving a different meaning to the song, it is not blatantly noticeable, but changes the song nonetheless. Other than that, Mina sings quite lovely, enhancing the listening experience. Track three, the Sacred Mix, is rather interesting with the use of organs. Track four, Schiller Mix, is also another "so-la-la" track, nicely done but nothing that sends shivers down your spine. Then there is track five, the Under Byen mix. This is easily the most hauntingly beautiful track on the CD, one that does indeed give you goosebumps. It is very melancholy in tone, and the use of an accompanying piano is very well implemented. And to conclude, track six is a beta version of the final from Reise, Reise. It is fairly decent, but seems to be full of noise and other distractors, taking away from the overall experience. I would have to say that the finalized version is definitely the better of the two. As a whole this single from "Reise, Reise" is fantastic, and well worth the $14 or so, you will not be disappointed.
