Buddha's Greatest Hits is the first definitive collection of the Austrian new wave dance-popster's hits, containing his two great singles -- "Rock Me Amadeus" and "Der Kommissar" -- plus such other hits as "Jeanny" and "Vienna Calling," album tracks, and Jason Nevins' bonus remix of "Der Kommissar." Of course, Falco's music hasn't dated particularly well and was always lightweight Euro-dance, but it can be a guilty pleasure, and this is the best place to find out why. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Greatest Hits Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Excellent music
I don't understand a word of German, but regardless, I think this cd is awesome!! considering the music was mostly done in the 80s, the sound is so contemporary. I'm sure Falco influenced many bands and groups that found success many years later. Just be a little open-minded about the language, and you'll enjoy this selection.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Should be a great collection!
I haven't heard this album in particular, but I've heard quite a bit of Falco's material & it's great! I'm sure he influenced many acts with his unusual style. Obviously, he was much more well-known in Europe than the U.S, which is too bad. I only wish I'd had a chance to hear his music before he passed away almost 10 years ago. "Rock Me Amedeus" & "Vienna Calling" have that genuine '80's sound, so if you love the '80's synth-pop, you'll like Falco!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No VIENNA, AUSTRIA
FALCO is not GERMAN! This mistake it made far too often. Falco was from Vienna, Austria... thus the song "Vienna Calling". This is a good Hits collection, it's not perfect but rarely is there a perfect Hits collection to be found anywhere that they don't miss a great track here or there. God bless his soul.

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
ZOEgirl: Chrissy, Alisa, Kristin (vocals).
ZOEgirl's fourth studio effort follows the lead of 2003's Different Kind of Free, when the CCM trio adopted a modernist pop/rock sound similar to artists like Avril Lavigne or Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway LP. On Room to Breathe, ZOEgirl's Chrissy Conway, Alisa Girard, and Kristin Swinford also tie the self-confidence that's at least generally preached by their secular peers to a Christian message. "Forevermore" is a traditional worship song -- "Lift up your eyes to the One who reigns" -- but "Good Girl" puts a contemporary spin on that sentiment, acknowledging the social pressures to fit in but pointing to the Lord as a guide. "Not the One" is even more direct, turning the classic rebuff of a flashy suitor into an encouragement of abstinence. "Skin Deep" and "Dead Serious" follow suit, ably blending props to Jesus and shouts out to being strong with a load of crisp, harmony rich hooks. "Who's that girl with the Bible in her hands?" "Serious" asks sassily over a whizzing keyboard vamp. Remove the religious imagery, and it could be a sunny and swaggering jingle for a hip makeup line. The entire album showcases the voices of Conway, Girard, and Swinford, who support each other and trade leads with ease. And the songwriting is never bland, from "Safe"'s rousing rock chorus to the mellow shimmer of "Way You Love Me." But "Dead Serious" and the single "About You" are the likely best examples of ZOEgirl's stand-tall, ...
