The German Scorpions are of course known from the flute song Winds Of Change (1990). On the other hand, the album Unbreakable is rocking old-fashioned. The band makes pumping eighties hard rock, which The Darkness can still suck. Predecessor Moment Of Glory (2000) was an excursion in collaboration with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, a record that only contained three new songs. Unbreakable does
… contain a number of own songs. The band has kept up with the times in terms of sound, but the question is whether the young audience in 2004 is still waiting for the Scorpions. Incidentally, Unbreakable was recorded and produced by the Dutchman Erwin Musper, who also produced many American rock bands. (JdD)more
