Crash-Landing (“Bruchlandung”) has the subtitle: Perfect Tunes for The Final Ride and is the third purely English-language music album by the Düsseldorf band Die Toten Hosen . It was produced by Jon Caffery , made in Australia, and published by JKP in 1999.
Name and cover
As with Reich & sexy, the band leaned on Jimi Hendrix , this time not in the design of the cover, but by taking over the title. There is a long-playing record of the same name by Hendrix from 1975. On the cover, designed by Johann Zambryski and The Hosen-Cover-Dept. , cars ready for the scrap press are shown; one of them bears the registration number D-TH 37. The booklet contains a band photo taken by Gabo and the band's own song lyrics from the album.
Emergence
After the band often gave concerts in Argentina, Australia or the Scandinavian countries in the late 1990s, it was natural to produce another international album. For this purpose Campino , lyricist, front man and singer of the band, in cooperation with the English musician TV Smith, translated some of the lyrics of Die Toten Hosen into English. As with Love, Peace & Money , not all titles have been translated literally and in some cases differ significantly from the original versions. In addition to two songs from the album Kauf MICH! from 1993, mainly songs from the 1996 album Opium fürs Volk , but there are also four new songs. The musicians Andreas von Holst and Michael Breitkopf on the electric guitars , Andreas Meurer on the electric bass , and the drummers Wolfgang Rohde and - on the new recordings - Vom Ritchie were also involved in the album . The vocal tracks were re-recorded and produced by Jon Caffery. In the English versions of the songs that have already been published, the same instrumental tracks were used as in the original versions, but this time some overdubs were added, e.g. B. a longer intro in The Fly or additional percussion effects in Soul Therapy and Man . The mixing and the final mastering was done by Michael Schwabe in the Skyline Tonfabrik in Dusseldorf.
Music track
The titles The Producer and The Product are the English-language counterparts for the introduction and the song cannot be exchanged! from the music album Buy ME! from 1993.
The songs The Fly (originally Die Fliege ), Man (originally human ), Big Bad Wolf (originally Bad Wolf ), Bonnie & Clyde , Soul Therapy (originally soul therapy ) and Viva la Revolution come from the album Opium fürs Volk . Disneyland (Stays the Same) (originally Duckburg stays stable ) was the B-side of the single Paradies from the album Opium fürs Volk .
In addition, the album contains the tracks Pushed Again and Revenge , which were released as a single in January 1998 and of which there is no German version. Hopeless Happy Song and No Escape are also only available as English-language songs.
Die Toten Hosen already had the cover version of the song I Fought the Law by Crickets on the B-side of the single Kauf MICH! released in 1994, and the version of the Beatles song I Am the Walrus they had already recorded as additional material for the 1996 single Paradies .
The album ends with the piece of music Beautiful Day (originally the last day ), which was found on the album Kauf MICH! when the hidden track was hidden.
