Das Beste Aus 150 Gold

Happiness is easy - Roger Cicero has always followed this life motto in his life and this ease has often been reflected in his songs. This title was all the more appropriate for a compilation of his most beautiful and greatest hits of 2006 2016, which the exceptional artist leaves behind his fans. On the album is a completely new, previously unpublished track by Roger Cicero called Eine Nummer zu groß, which is released as the first single on 06.01.2017. In addition to this, there are further gold pieces from his career on the Best-Of album and also some LIVE songs, which have not been publicized so far, such as The cover version of the Sportfreunde Tracks Ein Kompliment.

This DAF overview from Mute's Grey Area pulls from Alles Ist Gut, Gold und Liebe, and Für Immer, the three Conny Planck-produced albums Robert Görl and Gabi Delgado released on Virgin during 1981 and 1982. It's even-handed in its selections, with six tracks off Gold und Liebe and seven each from the other two. Virtually all the highlights are here, and almost all of them dish out the impossibly clenched, bruising rhythms and barked vocals DAF perfected during this phase. The slower, sleazier, and even more sinister material ("Im Dschungel der Liebe," "Prinzessin") is also well represented. Naturally, this is the best dose of early electronic body music short of Mute's fine 1998 album reissues.
