Data De Groove

Data De Grrove, originally released in May 1990, This album was a collaboration with Robert Ponger, the producer on Falco’s first two albums, who composed his first big hit “Der Kommissar.” The pair also went back to their tried and tested approach to songwriting: Ponger wrote the music while Falco came up with the words. The record has often been described as a concept album celebrating the age of computing. However, a closer examination of the subjects covered leads to the conclusion that the thread common to all of the tracks is actually sex rather than computers. “Data De Groove” and “Charisma Kommando” were released as singles. All of the mixes produced at the time (including the full-length versions of four songs only found on the first CD release) are included on CD2 of this deluxe edition. One mix of “Charisma Kommando” is available on CD for the first time. Data de Groove is considered to be complex and intellectual, with many fans regarding it as one of Falco's most authentic works.
