The German pop phenomenon Rosenstolz were back with a new single, album and big tour after one year's break. The single "Ich bin Ich" was released in the middle of February in two versions. The first version contained two tracks from the forthcoming album (release on March 3rd): "Ich bin ich (wir sind wir)" and "Etwas zerstört" and two non-album tracks "Kannst du mich hochziehn" and "Lass es liebe sein" - theme from the movie "Mutterseelenallein". The second version of the single contained 6 different mixes of "Ich bin ich (Wir sind wir)". The single has been released even in vinyl version as 12" with four mixes of "Ich bin ich".

Ich bin ich (wir sind wir) - the video
The video showed AnNa and Peter as children. Not everything is true of course but many facts from their real lives were included. Young AnNa and Peter were played by children from one of the Berlin schools. There is of course an ABBA related scene in the video as Peter is still a big fan of the super group from Sweden.

The new album = a masterpiece...
|
|
|
The new album "Das grosse Leben" (The big life) was released on March 3rd and it contained 12 new compositions written by Peter, AnNa and Ulf. The album was released in two versions: the "de luxe" edition with a bonus DVD and the usual one with only CD. On the DVD it can be found four videos as well as the making of the album and the making of the video "Ich bin ich".
The songs on the album were quite typical Rosenstolz pop with catchy music written mostly by Peter and great lyrics written by both AnNa and Peter and Ulf. AnNa had lead vocal on 11 tracks and Peter on 1 - "Ein Wunder für mich" which became one of our favorites after the first listening to the album. The opening track "Nichts von alledem (tut mir leid)" reminds of the ABBA' s opening track on their album "The Visitors". Even a limited vinyl version of the album has been released.

Rosenstolz on tour 2006
The tour schedule
A new Rosenstolz compilation
There is a new 2006 release in the series PMC Producers Master Cut available. The compilation "Mondkuss" contains 24 songs on two CDs.
|
|
|

The group was touring Germany during spring and early summer. The show was a wonderful mix of the old and new stuff. AnNa and Peter were in high form after the "time-out" in 2005. The most fantastic thing about the Rosenstolz new show was that the very new songs from the latest album which were by that time about 2 months old had already become classics! The reaction of the audience was incredible. The forthcoming single "Nichts von alledem" was a strong number performed absolutely great by AnNa. Peter was as usual "the clown" but an intelligent one. He was running around and stimulated the audience to more activity. But even Peter performed some serious tracks - the obligatory "Die Zigarette danach" and his new song which was absolutely wonderful - one of the best tracks on the latest album "Ein wunder für mich". The definitive highlight from "Das grosse Leben" was of course "Aus Liebe wollt ich alles wissen" and it was probably one of the strongest performances during the show. The first single "Ich bin Ich" sounded maybe a little bit mechanical as "Willkommen" - the 2004 single hit from the album "Herz" but it worked live. The group performed some songs written and recorded at the very beginning of their career and they fit very well with the new ones even if you could understand how much the group had developed as a pop act. The wonderful "Die Schlampen sind müde" and many other tracks from the 1990s were of course included and they make the audience very happy.

The show was well directed and both AnNa and Peter changed places on stage all the time. AnNa (still) loves her hats and she changed her outfits several times during the show. Peter took over and he alone managed to keep the audience warm. Both Peter and AnNa are a great team and there is no doubt about it that they like each other very much and work together very good. The artists were joking about their past between the songs and there were some nice dialogs during the show.

The second single release from "Das grosse Leben"
The second single from the album "Das grosse Leben" had its release in 5 different versions on May 26th.
CD singles (3 versions)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first single contains two previously unreleased songs - a demo/working versions of "Wo bist du" and "Alles falsch gemacht". The versions of the songs that were prepared for this single release have been stolen from the group's studio in April 2006. The first track is absolutely great even if it sounds "easy" in many ways. Even the second new track is very good in the traditional Rosenstolz style. Nobody could guess that these versions were not aimed for a public release. The live CD with 5 songs from the current tour 2006 is a great gift for all fans who have already seen Rosenstolz live in 2006. The tracks have been chosen by fans and it maybe surprises that there are no old favorites here as "Die Schlampen sind müde" or "Lass sie reden". Instead we have live versions of two songs from the latest album - the two first singles "Nicht von alledem" and "Ich bin ich". The "old" period is represented by "Klaus-Trophobie" which in fact sounds great when the group performs it during their concerts in 2006. The "in-between" period of late 1990s is covered by the wonderful ballad "Perlentaucher" and the dramatic (and even more dramatic live) "Nur einmal noch" performed in the "latino" style - one more nice surprise for the fans. You've got ideas, Rosenstolz! The remix single contains 6 different remixes of "Nichts von alledem tut mir leid". The latest video for the song is available on the first CD single.
The best remix of "Nichts von alledem..." is probably the Vince Clarke "Mixed Up Mix" - both funny and up-tempo which makes the song to the great dance piece.

"Ich geh in Flammen auf" - the video
The video had its world premiere in the German music channel "Viva" on Friday August 4th, 2006. The animated film tells a kind of the story of Rosenstolz - from the very beginnings in 1992 when the group performed in front of 9 people in audience until now. It tells about Peter's stage panic in the middle of 1990s and it features his big idols: ABBA... Peter drives even a car without driving licence.

The second single features "Ich geh in Flammen auf" in different remixes.
