The Tracklist:

"You Can Get It" - The review of the new Dieter Bohlen Maxi-Single

Source: MT-online, 31.07.2007

On the cover of the CD one sees Dieter Bohlen and Mark Medlock on a yacht on the coast of Majorca. The cover originates from the shooting to the video. The headline, "Mark Medlock - Dieter Bohlen" is written on the cover. Speculation regarding a new name "Miami Twice", proved to be unfounded. Two nice photos of Mark and Dieter adorn the inside of the cover (individually in each case). The single is available in two different versions: In a basic version with the single mix and the karaoke version and a premium version with three additional bonus tracks and a video clip. The following is a review of the premium version of the single.

1.) YOU CAN GET IT (Single Version) 3:33

122 BPM The single version of the title was arranged in a Latino style as was made popular some years ago by the group "No Mercy" who produced several hits in succession. The rhythm / groove, particularly at the beginning of the track, is reminiscent of the seventies hit "Love is in the Air". The song is structured in two staves and three refrains. In the third refrain the lead vocals are typical of the Modern Talking high voiced singers. To this end, the song reminds one very strongly of  MT songs from the second MT era and should be stated that the choirs sound slightly different, than with Modern Talking albums. The "single version" is not the same as the slower album version of Marks CD album.

2.) YOU CAN GET IT (Modern Mix) 3:33

One can derive from the name of the mix that this version should remind one a little of  Modern Talking songs. This mix differs to track 1 in two ways: First the Latino guitar rhythm has been substituted with a percussion synthesiser sound and secondly the high pitch choirs were used here in all three refrains. Also the classic MT pattern was changed: The first part of the refrain sung by Mark Medlock, the second part of the refrain with the high voices. Otherwise this version is mixed with a little bit more bass.

3.) YOU CAN GET IT (Karaoke Version)

Instrumental versions of MT tracks were always a must and were loved by all fans and if even one track was not released as an instrumental version then this was missed by MT fans. Nevertheless, the conversion on this single differs from the Modern Talking singles: This version is not 100% instrumental, but contains all background voices in the refrains. Hence the name "karaoke version". However dedicated Bohlen-fans prefer the instrumental-versions.

4.) LOVE IS A GAME 3:37

The first of both bonus tracks in "House" style arrangement. The 125 BPM uptempo song goes in a similar direction like the Bohlen title "We Wanna Share This Moment Together" from the second DSDS album and its rhythm is toe tapping. The arrangement is dominated by the E piano, rhythm guitars and brass chords. An uplifting song !

5.) WHY THIS KISS 3:45

This song is the real hammer of the Maxi CD! The 122 BPM disco sound revives the good old Modern Talking feeling from the "Year Of The Dragon". The MT high pitch voices can be faintly heard in the background, being quietly merged with the main vocals. Sounding similar to the  Gloria Gaynor  track "I Will Survive"  and the intro "humming" sound from the  Communards  track  "Don't Leave Me This Way" this track sounds cool.  From the start to finish,  this  song consists only of synthesized sounds and is a real disco-hit!

6.) YOU CAN GET IT (Video Clip) 3:34

The video clip to the single as a MPG file is for playing on the PC. The video clip was filmed, as reported, on the Spanish island of Majorca. The record company has made funds available for a well made video and as such, the clip has turned out well.

RESULT:

The Premium version of the single is worth the money! Two bonus tracks not included on the Mark Medlock album "Mr. Lonely" and hence, provoke a real inducement to purchase. While the album goes along quite mid-tempo, one finds on this Maxi single the real Bohlen-disco sound which has been long missed from the pop titan. A better decision would have been to make "Why This Kiss" the real single.  The addition of the video clip rounds off the CD. All together this Maxi CD is a luxuriant and great package for the Bohlen-fan. Luckily Sony BMG has spared us the album-version of the song as a filling-track. The only real low point of the CD is the missing "real" instrumental version without background voices.

On Tuesday, 08.05.07 Dieter Bohlen appeared again as a guest on the "Johannes B. Kerner Show", to promote the new single of his favourite singer, Mark Medlock. Dieter specially interrupted the work that he is undertaking for Marks coming album and drove back to the music studio directly after the interview. 

Kerner asked Dieter about today's newspaper headline "New Modern Talking with Mark Medlock". Dieter explained that he could he could probably imagine himself accompanying Mark at some appearances on the piano. What he is producing for Mark at present, is however purely a solo project. This (duet) does not have the highest priority as there are other things to consider at the moment. In connection with this Dieter mentioned that talks are underway to appear together with Mark in the TV-show "Summer Wetten dass...?" on Majorca this summer. This would fit well for Dieter, because Dieter will be spending his summer vacation there anyway. 

At present Dieter is under immense pressure working on composing new songs for the DSDS winner Mark Medlock. For example, this morning he got up at 5:00 o'clock and wrote 4 songs. 

Kerner picked up on this point enquiring as to exactly how Dieter composes his songs. Dieter described how he composes the songs at the piano, more importantly, several songs at the same time, if creativity happens to flow.  However he mostly needs an hours "warming up phase", before creativity comes. When composing Dieter is in a state of very deep concentration and nobody can disturb him or enter his studio. After Dieter has composed a new melody, he always saves his idea on tape and then forgets it immediately after this. After a few days or about 2 weeks he listens to his song ideas again and selects the best titles, which he continues to pursue and the bad songs, which are rejected. The good titles, Dieter despatches to the record-company as MP3 for a decision. 

Bohlen said that he may not be personally present when listening to the demos because it makes for an odd situation for him... in this early stage, if other persons  "tear up" his compositions, Dieter would prefer not be present, but rather afterwards receive details of the the final decision / result. 

Regarding Mark Medlock, Dieter hopes that he (unlike many of his other artists) doesn't lose his down-to-earth nature, and that Mark doesn't listen to the advise of the wrong people. Therefore Dieter wants to advise Mark in his future decisions. Marks Medlock debut album is due in approx 4 weeks. 

Dieter mentioned that Lisa, Francisca and Martin (of DSDS) have also stated an interest to work with him. Kerner asked as to whether Dieter with his know-how could actually make everyone a superstar? Dieter answered with his humour "to the genuine superstar surely not, but with the today's technical possibilities in the studio, I could surely carry a kilo of ground meat into the charts, if I  could only squeeze one short clay out of it." Dieter is very convinced that he is a great producer. If the record company gave him the task of producing a song with "one kilo of hamburger-meat" instead, he is convinced that he would produce a great record with it and that the record would definitely enter the singles chart. It's obvious that "hamburger meat" can't make any noise, but it was meant as a joke!  The statement was that Dieter is able to make a hit single with a singer, whether they can sing well or not. 

Dieter also said that in fact that there will be a fifth season of DSDS, and that he will sit as a judge. Since his house break-in last December, Dieter no longer drives 4 hours home with the car after the show, but he stays overnight instead in the hotel, since he feels a lot safer and he can relax there.

Recent statement by Thomas Anders

source: www.thomas-anders.com, 20.05.04

Thomas Anders wants his fans to know the following:

Dear fans,

i've got good but also bad news for you. Let's start with the bad ones: Yesterday we had a long meeting with my management and the organisators of my concerts. In the end I decided to change the dates of the concerts in Oberhausen and Berlin because the tickets didn't sell good enough. Although the sales could have been worse, they didn't meet my expectations. Who has observed the market can tell it's harder than ever to fill the concert halls. I could have cancelled the concerts because I was ill, but that's not my style and would have been unfair to my fans. I will rather move the concerts to autum or winter 2004.

Meanwhile there will be a new Thomas Anders-album released - and that's the good news for you. In the beginnig, the album was scheduled for spring 2005, however, since the recent album "This Time" was successfull all over the world, my record company convinced me to release another one this year. I will spend the following weeks working out a concept and writing new songs, which I like most. The last weeks and months surely belong to the most exhausting of my whole career, but I'm satisfied with my work as a singer and TV-presentator. Of course there's plenty work left for me, but this (positive!) stress situation makes me happy. As you know, there will be some TV appearances with my new single "Tonight Is The Night". After that I'm looking forward to spending some time together wirh my wife Claudia and our son Alexander. During summertime, I will work on my new album.

I hope you are well-informed now and wish to say thank you for your assistance. I'll promise you something: You will hear from me this year. And when the time has come, you'll get to know it on my website first.

Yours, Thomas

The "high pitched voices" of  Modern Talking continue

source: www.systems-in-blue.de, 19.03.04

We've got good news for all amateurs of the characteristic high pitched voices (HPVs) of Modern Talking and Blue System: The former background-singers of Modern Talking started their solo career.

The high voices belong to the three studio musicians Rolf Köhler, Detlef Wiedeke and Michael Scholz. On the first six MT-Albums until 1987, also Birger Corleis was involved. In the year 2000 the co-operation ended after an agreement in court and Bohlen and the singers splitted up. Last year, however, the three singers decided to re-animate the Bohlen-sound of the 80s and 90s. Because of their involvment in so many productions of Dieter, it was no problem for them to reproduce all the details of DB's sound.

On 22.03.2004 their very first solo production "Magic Mystery" was released under the project name "Systems In Blue". It's a typical uptempo-track of the late 80s, quite similar to Blue System's "Magic Symphony". Moreover, there's another uptempo-song on the maxi-CD, called "Every Little Thing". Both songs of course include the characteristic "high pitched vocals" in superb quality.

The separation of Modern Talking - The entire story

Source: BMG, 18.06.03

The German pop-duo Modern Talking decided to go separate ways in the future. This has been announced by Dieter Bohlen at the Modern Talking concert in Rostock on June, 10. "I have to confess, the Modern Talking story is over now", Bohlen said in front of 24,000 fans in the Rostock Baltic-Sea-Stadium. Modern Talking singer Thomas Anders did not comment the message. However, also the management of the two musicians has confirmed the separation.

The day after the break-up Thomas Anders has published the following statement in the forum of his webpage www.thomasanders.com:

Dear fans,
surely You have already read or heard it. Dieter and I decided to concentrate on our solo projects in the future. We did not separate because of a quarrel. We respect each other, however, our relationship was not meant forever. Although we have such different characters, we always had the same attitude towards our project Modern Talking. The fact that Modern Talking was a very successful music project has always united us. But each of us pursues his own goals and has his own interests. I am very grateful for the time I had with Modern Talking. However, now I am looking forward to my own music and right now I am working on a solo album, which will be released in spring 2004. I have just returned from two successful solo concerts in the USA and continue working on a Thomas Anders Gala-show. Besides that, I supervise the work at my music publishing house and current projects of my production company. Considering the fact that our tour has just begun and many of our fans were looking forward to experiencing our live appearance, the time for the split-up was not well-chosen. I am sad because of that and wished we successfully could bring our tour to an end. However, I will continue making music and won't leave my fans alone.
Yours,Thomas, June, 8. 2003

On 09.06.03 Dieter Bohlen announced in the german newspaper "Bild": He has not separated from Thomas Anders because of a quarrel, and there will be no fight between them after the split-up either. Nor was Thomas' late arrival at the last concert a reason to split-up. They had already agreed on the end of MT many months before. Thomas had solo-plans for the future, which he wants to realize now. Modern Talking and a solo career at the same time would have been simply impossible. In autumn, they would have announced the end of MT anyway. But as Dieter's granny had always said: "it's time to quit, when you've reached the most beautiful moment", which has made Bohlen spontaneously decide to inform the fans already now.

On 10.09.03 Dieter Bohlen gave an interview in his garden to comment the backgrounds of the MT separation on the TV-Station RTL: The interview, however, has been shortened too much, so it's not obvious in which context Dieter's comments were said. Therefore his statement sounded quite frank. For instance he said he has lost his inspiration. Moreover, it's much easier for him to work with new artists. Also, he welcomes Thomas' plans to realize his own ideas.
