This collection is an inexpensive overview of Falco's career. The music, new wave synth pop, sounds quite european. Yes, it is a compilation of an Austrian star singing in German. This is not a suprise to most. If you wish to enjoy some instant 80s nostalgia, pop the cd in."Der Kommisar" is sung in German. It is not the cover performed by AFTER THE FIRE. Hear it as it was meant to be... by the original artist.
