Falco Album: “Junge Roemer”

The cool european cut tuxedo, the clean, sophisticated dance music -- this is the classic Falco of the 1980s. Rich instrumentation and techno riffs combine with funky German/English rap ballads to create Europe's 1984 answer to Sinatra's Rat Pack of the 1960s. Junge Roemer (young Romans) is the hit that has been reinterpreted consistently over the years by DJs and is still fresh. Critics and fans agree that this is FALCO's high water mark artistically, if not in terms of units sold. Young Romans refers to the name given by Germans to their generation of "Yuppies."

Was introduced to this German artist back in the 80's when I was in my early twenties. Was stationed in Schwetzingen, Germany

when I first purchased this album on vinyl. Takes me back to Germany everytime I listen to it. Nice to hear pop music in another lanquage that doesnt offend the ears.

This is the best of FALCO (though nobody understood him when it appeared long time ago) If you love him you must buy it.There's no waste: excellent music and melodies.
