#627 Dagmar Krause – Tank Battles: The Songs of Hanns Eisler

Posted on by anoceanroars

Who the heck is Dagmar Krause? It is extremely odd to find an artist that I have not heard of in the 80s. She is a German singer. Tank Battles: The Songs of Hanns Eisler appears to be her second solo effort. It is a collection of songs sung in English by Krause. I believe there was a German version too. This album is not on Spotify, but you can find it on YouTube.

I feel that this would be best in a live situation down underground to a dive bar in a German town. I liked the album because it is très dramatique. It reminds me a bit of Édith Piaf, but not that great. I will not go to the trouble of saying which songs are the best. It was difficult listening to it on YouTube. I would just listen to a few songs and see what you think. It is twenty-six songs and there is a German version if you speak German. 8/10.

…and i hate writing about myself. It feels awkward. Or i am a bit awkward and rather not write about it. i have not got a clue where to begin or end… …at this very moment i am a recent graduate of Colorado State University. i live in Longmont, Colorado, which i next to Boulder. Boulder is where all hipsters live. See, this crap is rather boring. i moved here from Budapest, Hungary four years ago, well, actually that is sort of a lie. i was living in Lyon, France one year before i moved to Colorado and before that Hungary. i like to travel or move. i keep moving… i have many interest besides moving: writing, watching, taking, listening and reading (stories, films, photographs, music and books).
