Radio Vienna, Sounds from the 21st Century, Galileo Music, Austria, Austrian

'Radio Vienna': this is Vienna's sound of today! For musical outsiders, Vienna has been stereotyped with nostalgia until about one and a half years ago. 'Austropop' was all too common, Falco, Marianne Mendt and Wolfgang Ambros were its most well-known artists, chanson and jazz being represented by André Heller and Oscar Klein. In contrast to Germany's current generation of popular musicians who usually try to avoid contact to pop music or chansons of bygone decades, Viennese musical heroes of the 1970s and 1980s undergo an astonishing revival. There were several write-ups or even backbiting about 'Austropop' and for a long time hardly anyone wanted to utter the 'A-word' anymore. However, this seems to be reconciled. What happened? Despite prospects for commercial success, some young songwriters and bands started performing their songs with texts in Austrian dialect. Der Nino aus Wien became a new Indie-star with his decelerated poetry and the band 5/8erl in Ehr'n received the Amadeus-Award already three times for its sonic soul jazz. The retro-rock band Wanda finally captured the German-speaking countries with its morbid Viennese humor - the so-called Schmäh. Never before, the spectrum of the Viennese music scene has been so colorful and multifaceted. Besides pop and rock music, the Wienerlied enjoys great popularity across all generations again. Jazz, music by songwriters, soul, blues, electronic and all the different facets of what is summed up in 'worldmusic', merge in a fascinating and virtuous way.
