Onkelz wie wir

by Markus Eck (08.01.2008) This 1987-cult album marked an important chapter in the great career of the Frankfurt-based band around singer Kevin. It's been some time that the Onkelz had planned a re-release of this masterpiece, now, for the twentieth anniversary of the classic they have finally fulfilled their ideas. All original compositions have been re-recorded – with all carefulness and, of course, all love for the old originals. So, on "Onkelz wie wir 2007", e.g., the immensely popular German Rock kings stayed as close to their own parameters as possible – but with the new recording techniques, the Onkelz-hymns can be presented in much better sounds. The outer appearance was consciously kept simple because it was mainly the music that counted. And that hasn't lost anything of its attraction after all these years and permanent new, crazy music trends.
