3 times 10 years
As I've written before, growing up in Germany in the late 70's will always be strongly tied in to listening to the Cologne band BAP and the songs they sang back then in their local dialect. Well, the band is still around (not in the same lineup) and they have just released a best-of album.
All my old favorites are on the album - and they've all been re-recorded for the CD. Personally, while still liking the tunes, I'm slightly underwhelmed. The new recordings are a touch too "mellow" for my liking.
But then again, aren't we all now?

I was an exchange student in Munich in '82-83 and BAP was the one serious band I knew of singing in German amid a sea of fun but fluffy NDW bands. Their Kölsch was quite a challenge for my German, though.
Nice to know they're still around.
