About the song<\/h3>\n
When the Bollands, the producers of Falco’s albums Falco 3<\/a>, Emotional<\/a>, Wiener Blut<\/a> and Nachtflug<\/a>, came up with the idea that it was possible to mix excerpts from interviews and Falco songs with new music and in this way create \u201cnew\u201d Falco tracks, they were probably very impressed by this concept. So they not only just this technique for other samples songs done in 1998 (Tribute To Falco<\/a>) and 1999 (Fascinating Man<\/a>, We Live For The Night<\/a>, From The North To The South<\/a>) but for a few other sampling tracks as well.<\/p>\nAnd so a total of six sampling songs were created at this time. In addition to the song discussed here, Angst<\/a>, Change<\/a>, Just An Illusion<\/a>, News York City Girls<\/a> and Where Are You Now?<\/a> also belong to the so-called Bolland tapes, a collection of posthumously made fake songsthat were not officially released but found their way onto the Internet.<\/p>\nThe musical tempo of the sampling number is slow, a synth melody and later a guitar track determine the song. The refrain (\u201cBowie, the man\u201d) is also sung here by the Bollands. In the middle of the song, a guitar solo comes to the fore, then the chorus is repeated until the fade out.<\/p>\n
Falco’s samples come from the tracks Cadillac Hotel<\/a>, S.C.A.N.D.A.L.<\/a> and Genie Und Partisan (A Fascinating Man).<\/a>\u00a0 All of these songs were originally produced by the Bollands in 1992 for the Falco album Nachtflug<\/a> and for their own album "Darwin \u2013 The Evolution". The following passages emerged from an interview: \u201cI glaube, dass Anfang der 80er Jahre Bowie eine sehr, sehr wichtige Figur war. Da war Bowie einer der leading forces\u201d, \u201cAnd the groove\u201d.<\/p>\nOf course, a compilation of individual words from different songs makes little sense in terms of content. It’s a meaningless mixture with no meaning at all. Of course, David Bowie was one of Falco’s great heroes and the word "extravagance" can be said about both the Englishman and Falco himself, but that’s about it on the level of meaning.<\/p>\n
Like all of the Bollands' other sampling songs, it’s hard to find anything original or interesting in this work. It’s a loveless production that only raises the question of why the Bollands allowed themselves to be carried away with such an inauthentic and quality-free idea.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
