MERRY-GO-ROUND

Considered by many to be the second last good GROBSCHNITT album before the departure of EROC. In fact consciously GROBSCHNITT elected after "Merry Go Round" to stop recording their signature fairytale - like music and move more in the spirit of the '80's. Considering this was one of the later 'SCHNITT albums it contains many of their most beloved melodies. "Merry-Go-Round" contains everything that you would expect with great drumming - bass - guitar interplay with fairytale-like keyboards and atmospheres. Songs are exceptionally well written and performed and if you are a completist then you can snag Repetroire's re-mastered version with bonus tracks. The careful observer will notice that Conny Plank did not do the sound engineering on this album marking the start of a direction change for GROBSCHNITT. "Merry Go Round" is a fabulous album all the way through and ranks up there with their best output in my mind.
