Amazon.com

Gabriela "Nena" Kerner's American debut combines tracks from her first two European releases, including everyone's favorite antinuclear dance-pop single in both English and German. Likable as "99 Red Balloons" and "99 Luftballons" were, their international success was not to be repeated, even though tracks like "Kino" and "Just a Dream" have a similar just-this-side-of-kitsch appeal. "Leuchtturm" and "Uner Kannt Durch's Marchenland" are also strong, but the clumsy "Let Me Be Your Pirate" makes you wish Nena had stuck to her native tongue. Then again, it was that bilingual approach that allowed her to transcend her stateside status as a one-hit wonder--if only through a technicality. --Bill Forman

track one.......2006-04-26

Track one [99 red balloons] was redone and it's an awful redo..the first time i heard it I thought I got a bad disc...it's almost like it skips in teh middle and some mix genious added a 'slow motion effect' to the guitars in the middle of the track and a bunch of crap right after Nena finishes her solo at the beginning...don't buy it..the german version of the song is good but damn..they ruined the English one.

Nina is ageless!.......2006-03-10

I think this is a wonderful cd for young and old to enjoy. It's great to dance to or just to relax to! It's a cd I can listen to with my teenage daughter and she loves it too!

Review of 99 Luftballons.......2005-08-13

Great CD for fans of Nena. Has both the English and German versions of 99 Luftballons. The rest of the album contains some songs in English and some songs in German as well.
Amazon.com had the album and got it to me in a very reasonable period of time. Other music outlets (stores, online, etc.) didn't carry the album.

99 red balloons: True 80's classic........2005-06-30

Nena is considered a one hit wonder from the eighties and most people don't have a taste for foriegn music. I, however, have a taste for 80's music and European Pop. I was about five years old when I heard the song : 99 luft balloons and now it is my favorite song. I love the complexity of the german language and how the song actually had history in it. This pleased me especially since I like learning about the Cold War. I really enjoyed Nena-99 Luft Balloons.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent, Engaging, Passionate Album.......2006-12-27

What a great album! Nena has shown yet again her ability to reinvent herself. This is a two-CD set, the Red CD being more conventional, the Orange CD is what I would call "experimental," the result of a Mallorca jam session. But wow, the Red CD! Nena has always had the power of the draw in her songs, but here she has perfected it. Almost every song starts with a tease of some sort, a tension of expectation where you think that the song is really going to go somewhere, and on virtually every song on the Red CD, that is the case. Her quasi-rave Vitamine is excellent, you could call it Madonna-esque, except that it's better than Madonna. The best songs on this CD are Nena's own compositions. Nena has managed to express a yearning and passion in these songs which are usually the reserve of hungry young people half her age; when you listen to the music, you feel like you're 18 and in love again. The lyrics are, well, simple, but like most good rock n roll, you buy the music for the the beat and the passion and the way it makes you feel, not for the lyrical content. This is a no brainer, one of the best albums of 2006, in any language.

Not bad at all.......2006-08-06

Well so this is Nena's latest album...and it is really not that bad at all. OK to some degree it is still very typical of some european poppy new wave stuff from the 80's but it is still very fresh somehow.

Wonderful!.......2005-08-31

Nena has some awesome songs on the first disc, the second disc is so-so. But the first one is so great, almost every song is a hit!

Two Incredible CDs!.......2005-08-29

The first, called "Red" is a proper studio record that has spawned several hits in Europe (especially her native Germany). It's loaded with some very clever, fast moving and melodic pop tunes that would get anyone singing along (if you know German). Despite not knowing what she's singing, her incredibly sultry voice raises any song a few notches and keeps my Alzheimer's-like attention span focused. Even the slower songs are rich and melodic.

The second CD called "Orange" was quite a surprise. I was expecting a disc of throw-away B-rated alternative takes, but instead found something with much more depth, moodiness and sophistication. The lyrics and instruments are much darker and would feel right at home next to my Cure and Echo and the Bunnymen records. I wasn't expecting this so it came as a very pleasant surprise.

Since purchasing this record two months ago I've hardly gone a day without listening to it.

Nena never stops.......2005-07-22

Something I have always liked about Nena is that her style of music never really changed. She's always pretty much sung the same way throughout her music career. Every song on this album is great and if you like listening to her other stuff, I guarantee you will love "Willst du mit mir geh'n". Also, you should see her video to "Willst du mit mir geh'n" [...]. It's great.

20 Jahre: Nena Feat. Nena.......2007-03-08

This was the first CD I purchased after discovering that Nena Kerner was still around making great music. I love the way she changed some of the songs. It makes listening to old songs like 99 Luftballons seem like a whole new song. Highly recommend this CD.

its the best.......2004-07-14

This is truly an awsome cd. I love it a lot. I think that Nena is just a great artist. I mean, she is one of the only artist that I can honestly say that I love every song on the album. Its really good. I would recommend it to anyone.

Amazing CD.......2003-12-08

I purchased this CD while in Vienna this past summer, and it's an amazing album. It has so many classics but they're redone extremely well. I recommend this CD to everybody!

Die 20 Jahre haben sich gelohnt!.......2003-12-06

It's great that nena is so popular in so many countries! :)
I only recommend the CD, it's really great. Especially I like "Leuchtturm", "Irgendwie irgendwo irgendwann" and also the English version of it featuring Kim Wild.
These 20 years made Nena very important to Germany! Go on, Nena!

Review By a Philippine Nena Fan Who Understands German.......2003-11-12

This is the platinum edition of the album 20 JAHRE NENA: NENA FEAT. NENA. The main difference between this blue platinum edition and the red original release of this album is that the platinum edition contains the album version of the Nena and friends( i.e. Joachim Witt, Udo Lindenberg, Sasha, Ben, Jasmin Tabatabai, and Helga Schneider ) song "Wunder geschehen" performed for the "Red Nose Day". The original release contains the earlier-released Söhne Mannheims Ragga Mix--Radio Edit of the song "Carpe Diem", which was originally released in the single CARPE DIEM. Although I did not purchase this platinum edition of the album, since I already purchased the original release of it, I did manage to purchase the single NENA AND FRIENDS: WUNDER GESCHEHEN( RED NOSE DAY ), which contains the following tracks:

1. Wunder geschehen( Red Nose Day Radio Version )
2. Wunder geschehen( Red Nose Day Album Version )
3. Ich lieb dich immer noch
4. Wunder geschehen( Red Nose Day Enhanced Video )

The second track is what is found in the platinum edition of this album, but the single provides the bonus of the radio version and the enhanced video of the song, aside from a completely new and original Nena song "Ich lieb dich immer noch", which I really like! So far, there is no other way you can get this song except through this benefit single.

As I very highly recommended the original release of this album, so do I now also very highly recommend to you this platinum edition of this album, if you can really appreciate wonderful music.

Customer Reviews:

Nena!.......2004-05-08

Nena has to be one of the best singers to come out of Germany! (Isn't she the only one? Hmm...) I love Nena and all of her music! I definetly recommend buying this album in Addition to Fragezeichen! (Don't buy the US release of 99 Luftballons.. no lyrics :-( cheaply made)

1st Nena Band CD.......2003-02-02

This is the first album of the Nena Band. I believe that most of the people are familiar with this album in the world - as this LP was probably sold in the most amount of copies.
No other song was ever written that would resemble to the harmonies and catchy sound of Nur Getraumt. Great job Nena Band!
This album is simply a MUST HAVE. Nena is so much more than 99 Luftballons! The true fans know that! ...

Ich haeng immer noch an dir!.......2002-04-23

At first I must confess this: As a teen I was crazy about Nena and in a sense I still am. She really haunted my puberty phantasies. I still have this image of her, wearing her favorite T-shirt with her favorite Stones trademark (the
famous tongue, Andy Warhol's design). I lived for three years
in Germany, so I was familiar with the language by the time
this LP got out. My criteria then were different than today,
but I still think this is a magnificent LP / CD.
This is definitely no concept album. It travels through all
kinds of sceneries from power pop (Kino) to American country rock (Vollmond, a fantastic tune!) and from straight rock
(Noch Einmal) to kitsch (Indianer).
Their famous anti-war classic 99 Luftballons may be one of
the most successful songs of the 80's all over the world,
but there are a lot of tunes that deserve some attention
over here. Simple & powerful Nur Getraumt (Nena's first
super hit in Germany) is reason enough to hit the dancefloor,

Leuchtturm is a catchy pop masterpiece that grows into you
and my personal favorite her little reggae yawn Ich Bleib
Im Bett, not exactly what you expect to come out of a German
band. All in all this is an outstanding effort from
Nena (it's also the band's name) but if you don't speak
the language or don't intend to learn German in the near
future you better think twice. However stay away from
any English version of Nena's songs, cause you won't get
the right feeling out of them not to mention the sour taste
in your mouth.

English Translations of the Non-English Song Titles.......2001-12-06

In order to at least comprehend the meaning of the non-English song titles, here are the English translations of the non-English song titles:

1. Kino( Cinema )
2. Indianer( Indians/Native Americans )
3. Vollmond( Full Moon )
4. Nur getraeumt( Only Dreamt )
5. Tanz auf dem Vulkan( Dance On the Volcano--Literal/Playing With Fire--Figurative )
6. 99 Luftballons( 99 Air Balloons )
7. Zaubertrick( Magic Trick/Conjuring Trick )
8. Einmal ist keinmal( One Time Is No Time )
9. Leuchtturm( Lighthouse )
10. Ich bleib' im Bett( I Remain/Stay in the Bed )
11. Noch einmal( Still One More Time )
12. Satellitenstadt( Satellite City/City of Satellites )

Review from a Philippine Nena Fan Who Knows German.......2001-06-05

This is the first album of the original Nena band, whose members were Gabrielle Susanne "Nena" Kerner( Vocals ), Rolf Brendel( Drums ), Uwe Fahrenkrog-Petersen( Keyboards ), Juergen Dehmel( Bass ), and Carlo Karges( Lead Guitar ). It contains the following songs:

1. Kino 2. Indianer 3. Vollmond 4. Nur getraeumt 5. Tanz auf dem Vulkan 6. 99 Luftballons 7. Zaubertrick 8. Einmal ist keinmal 9. Leuchtturm 10. Ich bleib' im Bett 11. Noch einmal 12. Satellitenstadt

The most popular song of this album is undoubtedly "99 Luftballons", which became a number one hit worldwide in 1984. It is currently still the only German-language pop hit to ever achieve this status. Although I personally like every song found in this album, the songs "Kino", "Vollmond", "Nur getraeumt", and "Leuchtturm" particularly stand out as excellent songs for me. Therefore, I highly recommend this album to everyone--both Nena and non-Nena fans alike.

Average customer rating: 5 stars for "It's All In The Game" Decent album from this underrated New Wave artist AWESOME CD!! English Translations of the Non-English Song Titles I love Nena!

Customer Reviews:

5 stars for "It's All In The Game".......2007-02-14

I also think this was Nena's best album. As you may have read, "Feuer Und Flamme" appeared in English briefly in 1985 under the name "It's All In The Game" as the follow-up to "99 Luftballons." Well I loved the English version a lot. It was one of the best albums of 1985 in my opinion. I'd really like to see "It's All In The Game" released on CD. I would buy it in a heartbeat. Here was the U.S. running order...

Side One:
1. Utopia
2. It's All In The Game
3. Young As You
4. Are You Awake?
5. Woman On Fire
Side Two:
1. Warning Signs
2. Let's Humanize
3. Anyplace, Anywhere, Anytime
4. You Don't Know What Love Is
5. Auf Wiedersehen

I did enjoy hearing the "German" version, but understandingly, I came away feeling like an outsider. Not knowing German very well and the running order was different, I was slightly unsatisfied.

Please release "It's All In The Game" on compact disc.

Decent album from this underrated New Wave artist.......2003-10-18

Feuer & Flamme (1985). Nena's third studio album.

Nena was one of those new wave artists back in the mid 80s in which the only thing people can associate her with is her only hit, the German war protest song '99 Luftballoons'. Her band did hit a high point with that song back then, but unfortunately like other one-hit-wonder artists such as A Flock Of Seaguls, her other music is VASTLY underrated. People only acknowledge that one overplayed hit and ignore everything else she's done. YOU PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE MISSING!

After she scored the famous hit, Nena (also known as Gabriella Kerner) may have disappeared from the popular music scene, but proceeded to create a few more albums in the years to come. She never hit the same success as with 99 Luftballoons, but her music took no hit in quality whatsoever. We arrive in 1985 to her third studio album, and arguably the best one. The only tough part about listening to this album is that unlike the previous album, unless you understand fluent German or know someone who understands it, you aren't going to have any clue as to what she's saying. I still don't understand anything, but the songs are no less catchy. Thankfully, another reviewer took the time to translate the song titles. Nena's voice is somewhat of an acquired taste. I still haven't completely gotten used to it yet and I know there are many better female vocalists out there, but at the same time her vocals aren't bad either. Here's Feuer & Flamme:

1) Utopia- A straight ahead pop number with catchy hooks abound. There's an interesting saxaphone solo later in the song. 9/10

2) Haus Der Drei Sonnen- A mid paced melodic pop track with latin drum patterns played in certain parts of the song. Very good. 9/10

3) Jun Wie Du- The uplifting rocker which gets in your head and has a tough time letting go. Great usage of guitar and keyboards here. One of the album's highlights. 10/10

4) Ein Brief- A slow techno ballad of sorts. This track has a great melody, though it doesn't stand out as much as some of the others here. 8/10

5) Feur Und Flamme- Very much like Jun Wie Du, but quite a bit catchier. The keyboards used in the second verse gives this song sort of an Asian vibe to it. I like it when bands employ influences from other cultures. 9/10

6) Gestern Nacht- A purely pop song employing yet another culture's style. Kind of reminds me of Miami Sound Machine. Worth a listen, but nothing to noteworthy. 7/10

7) Das Alte Lied- A very strange track with schizoid verses and an odd chorus. Definite album filler. 6/10

8) Du Kennst Die Liebe Nicht- Another slow track, but with much less keyboards than track 4. It's okay but a little lightweight for my taste. 6/10

9) Es Wird Schon Weitergehn- Yet another slower track, though this time not a ballad. Still like the last track, it seems kind of like lightweight filler material. 7/10

10) Irgendwie Irgendwo Irgendwann- After a long streak of side-long mediocre tracks, we arrive at the end, and thankfully it goes out with this moody masterpiece. Incredible synth build up at the beginning followed by a melodic rocker towards the end. Of all the tracks here, this one stands far and above as the best one. 10/10

Though not a great album by many means, at least half of it consists of good new wave material which goes too often ignored in the tall shadow of her popular hit. 3 stars for all the great songs, but most of the second half isn't up to par with the rest. Only buy this album if you are a big fan of new wave pop or if you are interested in what Nena did besides 99 Luftballoons. This imported version is remastered very well and has a very affordable price on it, so if you get any version of this album at all, let this version be it. WORTH A LISTEN.

AWESOME CD!!.......2003-02-02

I was only 12 when I got this LP in 1985 -- this was also the year when I saw Nena and the band in tour and they were promoting this CD (LP back then). I absolutely LOVE all the songs. In Gestern Nacht - Nena does a fabulous job in singing! Irgendwie is such a powerful song and Haus Der Drei Sonnen is such a unique, super song too! It took me a while to really appreciate Feuer & Flamme, but the song is super good too! This was clearly the band's highest and bestproduction...

English Translations of the Non-English Song Titles.......2001-12-06

In order to at least comprehend the meaning of the non-English song titles, here are the English translations of the non-English song titles:

1. Utopia( Utopia )
2. Haus der drei Sonnen( House of the Three Suns )
3. Jung wie du( Young As You )
4. Ein Brief( A Letter )
5. Feuer und Flamme( Fire and Flame--Literally/Dead Keen--Figurative )
6. Gestern Nacht( Yesterday Night/Last Night )
7. Das alte Lied( The Old Song )
8. Du kennst die Liebe nicht( You Do Not Know What Love Is )
9. Es wird schon weitergehn( It Will Already Continue/Go Further )
10. Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann( Somehow, Somewhere, Sometime/Anyhow, Anywhere, Anytime )

By the way, track numbers 4 and 9 are interchanged, so track number 4 in the cd album is actually "Es wird schon weitergehn", while track number 9 is actually "Ein Brief". Furthermore, the cd album has the maxi version of the song "Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann", which is around 7 minutes and 15 seconds long, while the original 12" vinyl LP album has the original album version of this song, which is around 5 minutes and 14 seconds long.

I love Nena!.......2001-05-29

OK, Nena continued her way to the success, and I think his is quite a good album, but I'm not sure is better than the international "99 Luftballons". There is the great power of the music of the eighties, and even though I'm only 18 ( I was 3 years old when it was released in 1985)I love her music. Even on songs so simple like "Du kennst die Liebe nicht" Nena sounds just incredible. And you'll love "Es wird schon weitergehen". But at the end of it all, it's a great album. And if Nena ever read this, I'd like to tell her that I love her!
