My favourite band... . . well, one of them. Element of Crime is actually very special. Lyrics are awesome (ok, I am German) and their music is hauntingly beautiful. Though, this is really not their best album. My favourite one is 'Romantik", if you get the chance to buy it - do so!!!. Good, but not their best The first, "Damals," is absolutely amazing and can still bring me to the edge of tears over ten years later. "An einem Sonntag Im April" has some beautiful moments, like "Mein, Dein Tag" and the title track, but for some truly amazing music try "Weisses Papier" or better yet, their first (I believe) German language release "Damals hinter'm Mond". A mix of French-style chanson cafe singing and American blues, and yet the result is something completely different. No need to understand German, but if you do, the lyrics will leave you blown away. beautiful Not doing so makes this music hauntingly beautiful. Sometimes it's better to not understand a language. Not always sad, but it just sticks in your brain. Unpredictable Melodic Intensity Each track is different yet they share elements which fuse this into a highlt crafted and supremely enjoyable work. Whether you can understand the German lyrics or not, this CD is a must have for anyone who loves moody, quirky melodic music. The sounds of central European urban bliss come through in the mature sound and great combos. You can see a complete list of all Element of Crime discography, or go back to the Element of Crime tabs
