with their latest album blumfeld have once again reinvented themselves. it is a beautiful pop album adding a new side to the many-sided blumfeld. they allow us to see and feel love by making subjective provenance a topic as well as the beauty of partnership. pro familia is the greatest song overwhelmingly lovely in its synthesizer sound. tausend traenen tief has the coolest beat and is actually very danceable. this album means a lot to me.

this is a beautiful album! i first started out with it with their second track, tausend tränen tief. this is one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard, and it is by far the best on their track. their voices just sound terrific! i can't see how someone could have a negative view of it.. i definitely recommend this album.

blumfeld rocks. ;D

I was lulled in to a false sense of security with this opening with a long spoken word piece. A brave move to say the least. However from then on it's all down hill. To stay that this is a major let down after their two previous brilliant albums is a complete understatement. It's hard to know just what they were trying to achieve with this album (commercial sucess i suppose), the result however is truly dire. Everything that previously made Blumfeld's sound unique is buried beneath wash of synths that would have sounded more at home on a Phil Collins album.
The songs sound regardless of the language barrier like any pap being pumped out of FM radio anywhere in the world. There's no spark no energy, nothing.
Both L'etat et Moi and the debut Ich Machine are fantastically tuneful and unigue slices of Indy rock. With Old Nobody Blumfled completely lost the plot.
Avoid!!
