Getz/Gilberto 2005, anyone?, Aug 7 2006
By Sarah Bellum - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Melancholisch Schön (Audio CD)
I really like the sound of 2RaumWohnung on their 2005 release, "Melancholisch Schoen" and find myself singing along with some of the songs, especially the catchy "Ich und Elaine." However, I cannot help but consider it an attempt to recreate the Brazilian sounds of the 1963 release, "Getz/Gilberto," which was named for the coupling of Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto, even though the sound unmistakably owes a debt to their collaborator, Antonio Carlos Jobim. Inga Humpe all but channels Astrud Gilberto. All that is missing is Getz's saxophone. Having said that, though, I must also state the duo does an excellent job with this. The title track establishes a mood that is, as one might guess, a little on the melancholy side. "Sexy Girl" evokes "Girl From Ipanema" as an ode to youthful femininity. "Nimm Mich Mit (Nach Caracs)" and "Ich und Elaine" are two fun, playful numbers, the latter evidently being a lesbian love song. "Elisabeth" sounds strikingly similar to Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66. This CD is smooth, romantic and relaxing. Enjoy with a bottle of wine and a loved one. Even though I found it to be derivative, I like this CD and can recommend it.

Jane Birkin revisited!, Sep 20 2005
By vladimir yelbaev - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Melancholisch Schön (Audio CD)
I can't see how those songs could have been audaciously credited to Inga Humpe since most of them were already penned, sung and released as Serge Gainsbourg / Jane Birkin early discography. What few exceptions, should belong with Sherill Crow, Santa Maria Buffie, Mimi & Richard Farina - and "Sexy Girl", for once, is anything but a slowdown acoustic balladeering of "Route 66". Could I be so arrogant as to opine the German duo's success depends on their very second-handness? This way or another, Inga's delivery and Tommi's arrangements both "partake off other people plates" and do so with romantic naivete which may be expected from Germans. No fuss, though, and it's all much better this way, given the German lyrics to the songs. The album sounds cute in this way (to my Birkin-friendly ear) and I have kicks sensing how candidly the duo contributes to the European integration thing and manifests the extent of "frenchness" that Germans can go when need be.
Listmania!
