Of course, Dieter \u201cMachine\u201d Birr has never done anything impersonal in his musical career spanning over 50 years, but \u201cSongs for Generations \u2013 Machine Intim\u201d is the most personal thing he ever brings to the stage. Never before has the ECHO-honored singer, guitarist, composer and lyricist, who wrote music history with the Puhdys, been more approachable. As a listener\/viewer, you are rarely closer than with Maschinen's \u201cSongs for Generations\u201d.
\nAt his side: Uwe Hassbecker, a Silly musician for over three decades and also in Maschinen's band for several years. With his virtuoso playing on guitar, violin and mandolin, he enriches the \u201cSongs for Generations\u201d like no other. As if what belongs together is now growing together. As a pair, they rise to a new level of quality and deliver a musical exchange of blows at the highest level. Although the music careers of Birr and Hassbecker differ, they have the same denominators: passion and musical ability. The brilliant duo no longer has to prove anything to anyone, and yet the two have retained the fighting spirit and energy of a newcomer.
\nAnd they make the most of it: the Puhdys' 47-year success story (in numbers: over 22 million records sold and more than 4,500 concerts) is full of cross-generational hits, most of which have cult status. \u201cSongs for Generations\u201d ranges from the Puhdys classics to more recent songs from Maschinen\u2019s Top 20 solo albums to one or two cover songs. And that doesn't mean every surprise has been revealed.
\nThe songs are reduced to the essentials and yet nothing is missing. No sound has the chance to weaken, to hide behind a drum break or a keyboard pad. In the supposedly stripped-down versions, the well-known songs unfold a completely new magic, the familiar surprises with new approaches and approaches. As is so often the case, sometimes less is more, the \u201cSongs for Generations\u201d promise magical concert evenings.
\nMusically, the journey continues in 2022: At the end of the year, an album with new songs will be released, for which Maschinen is currently working in the studio. The single \u201cBessere Tage\u201d has already been released as a foretaste.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
