The music album Wilder Wassermann is a work by rock musician Achim Reichel , which was released in 2002. It contains poetry set to music in folk rock fashion, especially classics such as Heine's Belsazar or Goethe's Der Erlkönig .
Wilder Wassermann is the second album that deals with literary settings, so it can be seen as a kind of continuation of the 1978 album Regenballade .
“The texts on Wild Aquarius in particular are based on old folk myths, on stories that have passed from mouth to mouth for centuries. I don't want to reanimate old musical forms either, I want to make something new out of them. "
With minor exceptions, Reichel also played several instruments on this record.
