Schein & Sein is a 2012 music album by the group Pur .

Creation and publication

After the release of the album Wünsche in 2009 and the following tour, there were fundamental changes in the group: The founding member Roland Bless left Pur and was officially replaced by Martin Ansel, who had already worked with the group as a guest musician and producer for many years. However, the group initially devoted themselves to an acoustic project ( Live the Third - Acoustic , 2010) and went on an acoustic tour in 2011.

The songs on the album were written between spring 2011 and summer 2012. In contrast to earlier albums, Hartmut Engler did not deal with any personal crises on Schein & Sein . From the beginning the album was about lies and truth, so this time the focus was on the lyrics and the music was adapted to the lyrics. Still, it's not a concept album .

On October 26, 2012, the first single of the album was coupled ahead with The best possible attempt ; it reached number 33 in the German single charts. The second pre-coupling, Stark , which Engler wrote for his sons, did not make it into the charts. In Sacre-Cœur and Leonie Tamina , Engler processed things he had experienced himself; Lucy is about his house cat, which can also be seen floating on red balloons on the album cover. The album cover itself shows the members of Pur as fantasy characters.

Pur presented the album Schein & Sein for the first time in autumn 2012 in front of 500 fans as part of a one-week fan tour with a concert in Cyprus . The new album was released on November 16, 2012 and reached number 2 in the German album charts. It was Pur's first album since Seiltänzertraum (1993) that did not reach the top of the charts.

The Germany tour for the album was supposed to start on February 15, 2013 in Dortmund's Westfalenhalle ; the preview was planned for February 13, 2013 in the Gerry Weber Stadium in Halle (Westphalia) . Due to Hartmut Engler's vocal cord irritation, the first concerts of the tour were postponed, so that the tour started on February 23, 2013 in the Olympiahalle in Munich . The last concert of the tour was planned for March 5, 2013 in Cologne's Lanxess-Arena , the last catch-up concert of the tour finally took place on March 23, 2013 in Dortmund's Westfalenhalle. On June 14, 2013, Schein & Sein - Live aus Berlin released the DVD for the tour.

“The musicians from the Stuttgart area remain true to their style. Catchy German pop, arranged calmly, ”said the Märkische Allgemeine . On the album are "catchy songs, technically clean, but harmless and sometimes embarrassing like a love song that Hartmut Engler sings for his cat," wrote the Sächsische Zeitung .

The Aachener Zeitung called the album a "further guarantee of success in which almost all the stops were pulled musically. The musical spectrum ranges from melodic electric guitar riffs to piano ballads. ”“ Pop with rock borrowings and piano ballads define 'Schein & Sein' ”, summarized the Leipziger Volkszeitung .

Awards

Schein & Sein received a platinum record for more than 200,000 units sold . Pure were nominated for Schein & Sein 2013 for an echo in the category “Group National Rock / Pop”.
