Living Targets is the Beatsteaks' third studio album .
history
It is the first Beatsteaks album with Torsten Scholz on bass. The album was originally supposed to be called The Ordinary Me , which is why the first song starts with the words "My name is Tom and I am funky". However, this working title was not used. The first recording was in the Minirock Studio in Cologne with Uwe Sabirowsky as producer, where Let Me In and Summer were created. Singer Arnim Teutoburg-Weiß comments on this phase with the words: “I thought we'd make a great album - we have it too, but only half of it. So we've already recorded some amazing songs there, (...) but we just didn't have enough songs. "
After the Rauf on the Stage, Invisible Tour to support the doctors , Billy Gould , known as the bassist of Faith No More , went to the Tritonus Studio in Berlin to record the rest of the record. The first single, Summer , was never officially released as a single due to delays in the pressing of the CDs, but was later available from the band's own merchandise label and online shop Beatstuff , so that Let Me In actually became the band's first single. The Beatsteaks produced their first professional videos for the single releases Summer and Let Me In : the video for Summer , produced by Peter Thorwarth and Ali Eckert , depicts the band driving to a gig in Portugal in September 2001. Let Me In -Video, directed by Bas Vink, was shot as a performance video and was also shown fairly frequently on music television, which made the Beatsteaks famous.
A few seconds after the end of Summer, the hidden track is Yeah!
