Fascination Space is the fourth studio album by Farin Urlaub and the second by his racing team . Six years after the previous album The Truth About Lies, it is Farin Urlaub's first solo album; In the meantime, the concert recording was released Let it look like an accident and holiday brought together with the doctors the twelfth regular studio album also out. The album was advertised by the FURTour 2014 and the There Is No Risk to the Public Tour 2015, with a total of 17 concerts. In September 2015, the live recording of Danger! published, which was recorded at a concert in Düsseldorf.

background

The title “ Fascination Space” on the album has no deeper meaning and can be justified by the holiday tendency towards weird titles. In an interview with Markus Kavka , he refers to the title of his songbook The Return of the Skateboard Legend , which also has no deeper meaning. Since the term space sounds older, he preferred it to the term space .

The artwork describes a "returning hero" and is only provided with football motifs. The cover shows Farin Urlaub as a football player with player number 76, in the background half-clad teammates who are lying on the floor as if overrun. The number 76 refers to 1976 , when punk rock was created by bands like The Ramones and Sex Pistols .

Compared to previous albums, the style of the album is more characterized by rock and metal pieces, as Urlaub, as he said in an interview with laut.de , “wanted to hear songs that crack live”. But ska and pop are also represented again.

The song heart? Verloren was released on September 19, 2014 as a pre-release single and deals with a patient who suffers from polyamory and therefore has problems in contact with women. The song reached number 12 in Germany and number 49 in Austria. On the B-side is the pop piece Wahnsinn , as well as the system-critical song The Perfect Dictatorship . It was created through holiday impressions in dictatorships, as well as under the influence of the novels 1984 and Brave New World . The video clip to heart? Lost was shot by Norbert Heitker . The second single was the pop piece AWG ; the abbreviation, as mentioned in the chorus, stands for everything will be fine . Here is the rock piece Rest Der Welt and the piece Babylon in Ska style on the B-side . AWG placed 32nd in Germany. The third single was the song iDisco and was released in April 2015. On the B-side is the rock piece What Crisis? , as well as the rather calm pop piece Himmel auf Erden . iDisco ranked 22nd in the German charts.
