With this Hit, Falco has made chart history: it is the only German-language Hit to date to climb both the top position of the American Billboard Charts and the British Top 40. That the Hit also went to Number 1 in Germany and in Falco’s home country Austria is almost self-evident. But that’s not all: Falco also became the first white man to enter the American Black music Charts with a”Rap” Hit. There it reached at least Place 6. this record was valid at least until the appearance of Eminem in 2002.

Junge Römer (Young Romans) is the second album by Austrian pop rock artist Falco, released in 1984. While the phrase in the German language is correctly written “Junge Römer”, the title of Falco’s album and single in both German and English pressings is “Junge Roemer”. The album was a No.1 hit in his native Austria. The title track was a hit single there as well as in Switzerland, and most notably in Spain, where it peaked at No. 2. Still, the project was considered a relative disappointment compared with the international number one success of the breakthrough hit single, “Der Kommissar”, from his previous album, “Einzelhaft”. This inspired him to change producers and incorporate more English phrases for titles and choruses, which resulted in a trio of worldwide hits two years later with “Rock Me Amadeus”, “Vienna Calling” and “Jeanny”.

Johann Hölzel, better known by his stage name Falco, was an Austrian singer, songwriter and rapper. “Einzelhaft”, (Solitary Confinement or Incarcerated!), is his first album. It was released in Austria, Germany, the United States, Japan, Spain, Italy, Canada, Sweden and Finland. The album achieved some success with its flagship single, “Der Kommissar”, an innovative and influential German-language rap song. A Promo Single, “Auf der Flucht (On the Run)”, was released in the USA and France. In 1983 the single “Maschine Brennt / On the Run” CD hit #9 of US Club Play Singles. Other songs on Einzelhaft are heavily indebted to the “Berlin Trilogy” of David Bowie: “Nie mehr Schule” borrows its music from Bowie’s instrumental track from Low called “Speed of Life”, whereas “Helden von heute” is a transparent rewrite of Bowie’s song, “Heroes”.

Ein hervorragende Beitrag aus Falcos genialem LP-Debüt “Einzelhaft”, auf dem eigentlich jeder einzelne Titel vollends überzeugte. “Auf der Flucht” ist ein gehetzter, schneller Synthi-Funk-Rock, der nicht nur gehetzt klingt, sondern auch von (von der Staatsmacht) gehetzten, aufmüpfigen Jugendlichen, Hausbesetzern und Alternativen 1968 in Berlin bzw. 1981 in Zürich, gekonnt, gewitzt und zutreffend erzählt. Falco hat sich nicht nur als brillanter Yuppie-Darsteller, sondern auch und gerade als Zeitgeist-Chronist und gleichsam -Kritiker einen sehr guten Namen gemacht!!!
