4.0 out of 5 stars
A very nice album, even if not her best !, Jan 16 2004
This is the 3rd album of my favourite singer. It's still a great album, but it's weaker than the 1st two. It has only 4 happy hardcore tracks, the rest is dance, pop, and ballads. "Ich Bin Wieder Hier" is a very nice cover from Rozzala's hit "Everybody's Free". "Blaue Augen" is a nice happy hardcore sound. "Wilkommen In Meinem Garten" is an AMAZING happy hardcore track, I LOVE this track, it's the best of the album, also very close to "Nur Fur Euch". "Der Beste Von Allen" is a good happy hardcore. "So Wie Ein Wunder" is an excellent dance song. "Denk Noch Mal Druber Nach" is a ballad, and I can tell that this 1 is very good (so rare, you know me - generally I totally hate ballads). "Automatisch" & "U-Bahn" are nice pop songs. But "Es Ist Vorbei" & "Ganz Bald" are extremely boring !!! These 2 ballads caused that album to lose 1 star. But if you like dance & happy hardcore, this is a nice album to buy, even if it is not the best.

Amazing, Jun 24 2001
Although I've had this album for quite a while it was good to see Amazon starting to carry it, and for a great import price. I loved Ich Bin Weider Hier so much that I bought the single, and that is another CD to look for; all the mixes are worthwhile. Wilkommen In Meinem Garten is also one of the best on here. If you are new to Blumchen, this is a great starter. It shows what good, happy, upbeat Eurodance and electronica can sound like. However, you also begin to hear the more pop-style leaking in for a few of the tracks. Unfortunately this seems to be the direction she is headed. Her best albums were first, Herzfrequenz and Verliebt, but this is still a must-buy.Also note this is import is almost three years old and getting harder to find by the day. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up while you can, you won't be disappointed! As you may have guessed it does have German lyrics but that shouldn't shy anyone away. They are simple words but her voice is beautiful, which sounds good in any language. But I doubt few would argue that the real star is the DJ/composer of her music, Paralyzer. Excellent beats, catchy tunes... you can't be depressed when listening to classic Blumchen. While the version I have is die Fanedition with extra tracks, a data CD of music videos, and keyring, you get much of the same of great Eurodance reminscient of her other works. Sadly, you do miss out on Tu es Mon Ile, the Yta Farrow Remix of Du bist ein Insel (You are My Island) and Heut' Ist Mein Tag (Today is My Day). These two without question are the best songs on the disc, which may disappoint fans who can only find this version. However that doesn't dissuade me from a 5 star rating because of the price and increasing rarity. I paid twice as much for mine. What can I say but wunderbar!
