History of origin

After the release of the album, nobody dances boogie? (in the Federal Republic of Germany only Silly ) the band won the Grand Prix of the Bratislavska Lyra in Czechoslovakia . The group regroups before the second work is recorded. Rüdiger Barton joined as a new keyboard player . The band was also joined by the lyricist Werner Karma , who had a significant influence on the direction of the band. He wrote all the lyrics on Mont Klamott . The lyrics to Die Gräfin and Ein Lied für die Menschen were published under his name, and he wrote the rest of the lyrics under the pseudonym René Volkmann. The album was produced by Klaus Peter Albrecht . Harmonica player Bernd Kleinow was a guest musician in Ein Lied für die Menschen . The album was named after the debris mountain Großer Bunkerberg in Berlin-Friedrichshain .

Publications

The original publication appeared on Amiga in 1983. In 1984 the LP was released in West Germany on the Pool label, a sub-label of Teldec . A remastered CD version was released on June 6, 1994 and was published via Amiga, which is now a sub-label of BMG . This version was supplemented by the song " Dicke Luft" .

Music style and reception

According to Michael Rauhut, Silly combined "the musical bite of the New Wave with sensual, plump and deep sounding images on a level that is not only unique for GDR standards" on this album . In particular, the texts of Karma were at the limit of what was possible in the German Democratic Republic . In fact, this caused Silly to have problems with the censorship, which, however, mainly affected the successor Between Unused Gleisen , which was banned and appeared as a love waltz in a defused version in 1984. Mont Klamott was voted record of the year in the GDR in 1983 . The song Mont Klamott reached number 4 in the GDR annual hit parade in 1983 . A song for the people was # 6 in 1984. It was also used for the Rock for Peace festival .

The beginning of Die wilde Mathilde was temporarily the theme tune of the DT-64 rating program DT Metronom.
