2 stars "Anfang ohne ende" was Ihre Kinder's fifth studio album and it was released in 1972, just two years after their amazing record "Leere Hände". Just as their earlier efforts, this contains a lot to enjoy and this record has more music than before, I don't know if it's a double record but the playtime is quite wide. The cover picture shows an old radio machine, according to me. It is a nice cover!

The music here is competent. They haven't walked the easiest way and there are places where you can enjoy the guitar, the drums and the best ingredient the saxophone. Unfortunately this saxophone isn't used so much on the album, it could have been used much more advantageously. The musicians were Sonny Hennig on vocals and keyboards, Tommi Röder on bass, saxophone and guitar and vocals, Walti Schneider on bass and vocals, Günter Storch on drums and Wolf Stumm och guitar.

The best song is where the saxophone could glisten, in "Für dich und mich", a pleasant an recommended song. Also "Stunden" and "Die graue stadt" has a lot of fine parts and fine melodies I like. They have more intentions than the rest. Over all though these compositions are boring in my ears. The has write some music just after the book and aren't progressive in a musical way here. I guess much of the glory in the music lies in the lyrics, but I haven't studied them. Indeed the music feels old, but in this case it isn't a benefit. On some of the songs the vocals also are rather unpleasant. I like the tracks: 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 and 12 even if they aren't fantastic. The rest don't intrigues me. This will only get two stars from me. You'd rather listen to "Leere Hände" a wonderful disc by Ihre Kinder.
