Falco 60: 2CD+DVD deluxe edition
Homecoming Concert on DVD • Some new rarities • Updated cover art
Last year’s Falco 60 compilation, which was issued as on 3CD, 2LP and a double DVD, has recently been reissued as a 2CD+DVD deluxe edition, with updated content and some new-to-CD mixes/edits.
The original release was to mark the Austrian singer-songwriter’s 60th birthday and part of the reason this new deluxe edition exists is because the DVD includes Falco Coming Home – The Tribute Donauinselfest 2017, a tribute concert staged last year under the under the musical and organisational leadership of Falco’s last bandleader Thomas Rabitsch. The original Falco band returned to the stage and various guest stars sang in ‘virtual duet’ with Falco in front of 140,000 people in the glorious sunshine.
The concert represented unfinished business, since back in ’93 Falco and his band performed at the same festival and it was cut short due to lightning strike. This concert performance features Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 surround sound and includes a 30-minute ‘making of’. Bear in mind that this is targeted primarily at an Austrian/Germany audience so there is unlikely to be an English language option or subtitles. Incidentally, there is another separate release that pairs the audio and video from this show (see below).
What is particularly welcome here is that the producers – perhaps having heard fan feedback from last year – have taken the opportunity to update a few selections, so The Sound of Musik is now the ‘rock n soul’ edit as opposed to the single edit on the previous triple-CD package. That mix has never been officially issued on CD, as far as I’m aware. The ‘special radio edit’ of Satellite to Satellite is also included on the new set, another new-to-CD selection. The Brigitte Nielsen duet Body Next To Body is now the 6.30 Extended Rock Mix not just the single version and Vienna Calling updated too – it’s now ‘The New `86 Edit/Mix’ version.
Less welcome perhaps, are five new mixes including the “Motsa’s Dub Revibe” mix of Rock Me Amadeus and a Mousse T. Remix of Der Kommissar.
While eyebrows maybe be raised at this appearing so soon after last year’s set there’s enough on here with the concert and the new selections to earn it a place in the collection of a committed Falco fan. The Falco 60 deluxe edition is out now.
