Various - Sonderausgabe zum 20 Jahrestag der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik

Review by Michal Čihař

The album "Sonderausgabe zum 20 Jahrestag der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik" by Various is a tribute to the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany. The album features a collection of songs that reflect the social, cultural, and political changes that occurred during this period.

The album starts with the iconic song "Wind of Change" by Scorpions which became an anthem for the peaceful revolution in East Germany. Other notable tracks include "99 Luftballons" by Nena, "Kling Klang" by Keimzeit, and "Alles aus Liebe" by Die Toten Hosen. These songs capture the spirit of the time, expressing both the excitement and uncertainty of the era.

The album also features lesser-known tracks, such as "Es geht voran" by Fehlfarben and "Am Fenster" by City, which showcase the diversity of the East German music scene. The album is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the cultural landscape of East Germany before reunification.

the "Sonderausgabe zum 20 Jahrestag der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik" is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of Germany and the music that defined this period. The album is a fitting tribute to the people who fought for freedom and democracy in East Germany, and stands as a reminder of the power of music to inspire change.
