JNG RMR 5 by Falco: A Retro Spin with a Modern Twist
Alright, so let’s talk about JNG RMR 5 by Falco. Released in 2017 under the Ariola label, this album is like dipping into a time machine but with some fresh paint slapped on. It’s got that mix of Pop and Rock vibes, leaning heavy into New Wave and Pop Rock styles. If you’re into retro sounds with a modern edge, this one might just hit the spot.
Now, I gotta say, the whole album feels like a remix party for your ears, but two tracks really stuck with me: Rock Me Amadeus (Motsa's Dub Revibe) and Vienna Calling (Motsa's Dub Revibe). Let’s break it down.
First up, Rock Me Amadeus. Man, this track is iconic even before Motsa got their hands on it. The original was already a banger back in the day, but this revibe? It’s like someone took the essence of Falco’s genius and gave it a futuristic glow-up. The beat has this infectious pulse to it—kinda makes you wanna dance awkwardly in your living room. And honestly, who doesn’t love a little Mozart shoutout while they’re jamming out? It’s quirky, catchy, and just fun as hell.
Then there’s Vienna Calling. This one’s smoother, more chill, but still packs a punch. Motsa’s touch adds this dreamy layer to it, almost like you’re floating through Vienna at night, except you’re probably just sitting on your couch eating chips. The synth work here is legit—it gives off those nostalgic '80s vibes without feeling dated. Every time I hear it, I’m reminded why Falco was such a legend. The dude knew how to craft tunes that stuck with you.
Oh, and quick shoutout to Der Kommissar. That track’s solid too, but these first two are the ones I keep coming back to.
So yeah, JNG RMR 5 isn’t perfect—it’s kinda short, and if you’re not into remixes, it might not blow your mind. But hey, it’s a cool reminder that great music can evolve over time. Like, imagine if Beethoven got remixed today. Would people lose it or what?
Anyway, listening to this album made me think about how music connects generations. You’ve got Falco’s OG brilliance mashed up with Motsa’s fresh take, and somehow it all works. Weird world we live in, huh? Now excuse me while I go listen to Rock Me Amadeus again… maybe I’ll even attempt to waltz this time. Spoiler: I won’t be good at it.
