Falco / Wiener Blut 2CD deluxe reissue

Falco’s fifth and six albums, Wiener Blut and Data De Groove, will be reissued as two-CD deluxe editions and coloured vinyl pressings in April.

Wiener Blut was issued in 1988, three years after the international success of Falco 3. The initial plan had been to record songs with a new production team, with a more melodic and commercial musical direction. However, only four songs were ultimately used from these sessions and Falco returned to his former setup with the Bolland brothers (who worked on Falco 3 and Emotional) and produced a further six tracks. The album also features a cover of Steely Dan’s ‘Do It Again’, which was one of four singles. The record did well in Austria, Germany and Switzerland but it’s reach didn’t go much beyond that.

Tracks on the Falco reissues are taken from the original master tapes. These include all three Shep Pettibone mixes of ‘Do It Again’

Less than two years later, in May 1990, Data De Groove was released. This saw Falco reunited with producer Robert Ponger who worked on Falco’s first two albums and composed ‘Der Kommissar’. There were two singles from this record: ‘Data De Groove’ and ‘Charisma Kommando’.

Both albums are now reissued as expanded two CD deluxe editions with all audio taken from the original master tapes. Blank and Jones have worked on these reissues and were delighted to track down the elusive original master tapes of the Shep Pettibone mixes of ‘Do It Again’, all versions of which are all included on the reissue. Amongst all the mixes on CD are two previously unreleased versions of ‘Satellite to Satellite’.

Both 2CD sets include a wealth of remixes, single edits and instrumentals and come with booklets. Both albums are also being issued on limited edition coloured vinyl, although neither is officially available in the UK right now and even beyond that, the availability is a bit sketchy right now. Wiener Blut is pressed on orange vinyl and Data De Groove, blue.

Wiener Blut and Data De Groove are reissued as 2CD deluxe and coloured vinyl editions on 1 April 2022.
