"I have the US version of this CD I picked up in the bargain bin (out of print now). It's an interesting German group that's sort of "folky-alternative"....sort of a Hootie & the Blowfish sounding type of band (except for the lead vocals which have alot of tremble). "Every Generation.." and "Radio Orchid" are good songs, but, I kinda like "In Your Room". They have a later release (1995) titled "The Hearing & Sense of Balance" that I have and is very good. That CD also brings Hootie to mind, but, overall could be better compared to maybe Dave Mathews or similiar US bands. The vocals improved greatly (cut tremble), there's more diversity in the songs, and guitars have some edginess to them (more upbeat sound). "Your Love Won't Take Me Anywhere" could be noteworthy single if gotten airplay. FURY...is worth checking out."

"I have a CD collection of over 2,000 discs, and if the house caught fire and I had to grab ten and run...this would be one of them. I'm really sorry I missed seeing them live because they must rip as a live band. Great songs with clever and original arrangements, snappy hooks and musical twists, a super-tight band, and a style that steals from everyone and turns it into something new and yet familiar.
True originals, but think early REM, Zevon, Led Zep...with a touch of Nirvana, George Thorogood...sounds crazy but....
Take and chance and listen."
