Andreas Dorau is a marvellous pop musician, equipped with the choicest humour and the gift of creating wonderful melodies. Aged 16, he wrote the huge hit “Fred vom Jupiter” and has been championed erroniously as representing German New Wave (NDW) ever since. “Aus der Bibliothèque” is the first album which Dorau has recorded with a band since “Demokratie” (1988). Backed by the “Liga der gewöhnlichen Gentlemen” soul brothers, he sought inspiration in the quarry of ideas known as the Hamburg Central Library. The result: poppy krautrock, Beatlesque sunshine pop, soft rock, electronica. And true to life lyrics. In short, a superb album!
