Lindenberg
by Frank Eisenhuth This is Udo Lindenberg's solo debut from 1971, still using English lyrics. At that point, Lindenberg had realized he wanted to go out on his own but hadn't figured out yet what he wanted to do with his solo career. In terms of genre, this album belongs to the Krautrock scene which was thriving at around this time. As a Krautrock release, it is a well-done effort, but compared to Udo Lindenberg's later groundbreaking work for German rock music, this record just fades away.
