Achim Reichel - Ungeschminkt

Review by Carin H Constant

Album Review: Achim Reichel – Ungeschminkt Alright, let’s talk about Ungeschminkt. Released in 1991, this album by German music legend Achim Reichel is a wild mix of genres—Pop, Folk, Rock, Blues, you name it. It’s like he threw everything but the kitchen sink into the blender and somehow made it work. The result? A record that feels raw, real, and totally unfiltered (hence the title). First off, I gotta shout out two tracks that stuck with me: “Den Kopf voll Suff und Kino” and “Blues Aus Bayern.” Man, these songs just hit different. “Den Kopf voll Suff und Kino” kicks things off with this gritty, bluesy vibe. It’s not trying too hard to impress anyone—it’s just straight-up honest. You can tell Achim’s pouring his heart out here, singing about life’s chaos and maybe one too many drinks at the bar. The lyrics are simple but relatable, like when you’re sitting there thinking about all the dumb stuff you’ve done. And let’s be real, who hasn’t had days where their head feels full of booze and bad movies? Then there’s “Blues Aus Bayern.” This track flips the script a bit because it blends traditional Bavarian vibes with good ol’ rock ‘n’ roll swagger. Like, imagine someone playing harmonica while wearing lederhosen—that’s what this song sounds like. It’s kinda funny, but also super catchy. Plus, the live version on the album adds an extra layer of energy. You can almost picture Achim jamming out on stage, sweat dripping down his face as the crowd goes nuts. One thing I love about Ungeschminkt is how unpolished it feels. There’s no overproduction or auto-tune nonsense here. Instead, you get Achim doing his thing—writing, arranging, producing, and even co-producing with Frank Dostal. Oh, and props to Klaus Bohlmann for engineering; dude clearly knew how to capture that raw sound. Ruth Rockenschaub’s artwork ties it all together too, giving the whole project a cohesive aesthetic. Now, here’s the kicker: listening to this album felt like hanging out with an old friend who doesn’t sugarcoat anything. Sure, some tracks blend together after a while, but isn’t that kinda the point? Life itself can feel repetitive sometimes, but every now and then, something—or someone—comes along and reminds you to appreciate the little moments. So yeah, Ungeschminkt might not change your life, but it’ll definitely make you nod your head and think, “Man, this guy gets it.” And honestly? That’s enough for me. P.S. Fun fact: Did you know Achim Reichel was already a rockstar before this album? Dude’s been around forever, yet he still manages to keep things fresh. If that ain’t inspiring, I don’t know what is.

Early 80s, my second car, a Fiat 128, spent more money on the speakers than on the car, driving to our local disco (you didn't say club in those days) and there he goes, der irre Bomber der uns alle weckt.

Wo sind die anderen Lieder von der CD-Ungeschminkt??? Die sollten für alle zugänglich sein. Meiner Meinung sollte die jeder mal hören, ok ich hab jetzt ne Buddel Rum im Hirn aber......
