However, it could also have been quite a while ago, after all, they released an album almost every year until their first breakup in 2001. So it could very well have been in the last millennium. Especially since the release interval of their albums has significantly decreased after their reformation in 2007.
Thus, "Das Schiff" is not a new long player, but a re-release from 1996, celebrating its 20th anniversary. In addition to the 10 songs from the 1996 album, there are 2 additional remix versions featured on this vinyl re-release. The radio edit of the title track "Das Schiff" as well as the Unicycleman remix of "Endlos" and these two enhanced remixes are impressive!!! Although the ten original tracks from '96 were already quite good, with their atmospheric, hypnotic, driving, and melancholic 80s post-punk sound. So, in addition to the original 37 minutes, there are another 10 remix minutes added. I like it!
I also like the overall presentation of this re-release. "Das Schiff" is not just thrown onto the market cheaply, but rather elegantly, thanks to the new album cover and the lyric sheet with all the lyrics. And for those who no longer own a turntable, the 12 songs are also available as a download code with the LP.
There is even a limited edition of 100 copies, blue marbled and hand-numbered, available at "Major Label" and from the band, so you better act fast!
