Wolfsheim - 55578
Review by Ryan Bassett
Wolfsheim's album 55578 is a captivating and entrancing work of art that showcases the band's talent for creating hauntingly beautiful synth-pop music. With each track, the listener is transported into a different world of emotion and sound, from the brooding and atmospheric "The Sparrows and the Nightingales" to the upbeat and danceable "It's Hurting for the First Time". The lyrics are poetic and thought-provoking, exploring themes of love, loss, and the human condition. Peter Heppner's vocals are powerful and emotive, delivering each lyric with a raw intensity that draws the listener in. The production is top-notch, with lush layers of synths and electronic beats that create a rich and dynamic soundscape. 55578 is a timeless classic that deserves a place in any music lover's collection.

Ich hatte einmal so einen Traum und dieser Song hier der passt richtig zu meinem Traum den ich mal hatte
Love this song ever since I hear it when I went to live in Germany in the 90's [now back in England].
Still play it.
Still play it.
Mein Lieblingslied im Kassa in Jena Thüringen!!! Mega waren diese Zeilen!!! Vermisse es so!!!
The best
Wenn ich je ein Lied gehört hab, was mir auf den Leib geschrieben ist, dann das.
Ich mag diesen Song sehr, und gerade spendet er mir Trost...
Ich auch
Wofsheim at their best. This song has been my happy place for decades.
Erinnert mich an meine Jugend und lange Disconächte in den 90ern, alle waren depri aber man hat sich irgendwie wohl gefühlt im Selbstmitleid und der "no future generation". Danach kam -And then she kissed- von Phillip Boa :)
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
