Data de Groove
Data de Groove is the sixth studio album by the Austrian musician Falco.
Background
The album was created in 1990 after a long collaboration with the Bolland brothers and the failure of its predecessor, again produced by Falco's original producer Robert Ponger, who composed his first big hit The Commissioner.
It was one of Falco's comeback attempt to chart the top after he landed a big failure with Wiener Blut.
The album dealt - especially in the same pre-release single - with the then coming into fashion the computer age. A second song in 1991 with charisma command in which it comes to femdom practices, coupled.
The album was thematically influenced privately less than his previous two albums, which were dedicated to his supposed daughter. Nevertheless, happened in the production time much in private life of the singer: he married and divorced again and also had high levels of psychological problems with it not to be as successful as in the days of Rock Me Amadeus.
In this album believed many fans recognize " the old Falco ," and it is considered to be intellektuellstes, theoretischstes and " kopflastigstes ". The song Bar Minor 7/11 ( Jeanny Dry) is also regarded as the only one written by Falco himself and shared third part of the trilogy Jeanny. ( The pun in the title the phrase " Jeanny Dry" is ambiguous: The English word dry sounds acoustically similar to how the number three and at the same time to the correct German translation " Jeanny dry" probably also point out that this is Falco's own very dry and sober. (also in the alcoholic sense) is the view of Jeanny Jeanny story or the hype. )
However, the album was recorded only moderate success, it peaked in the Austrian charts only 11th place, and the coupled singles made it partially into the charts, prompting Falco again moved to its previous producers Bolland & Bolland on the next album Night Flight.
Currently (April 2012), Data de Groove " regular " Falco is the only album out of print. The album is considered in the LP and particularly the CD release as a coveted rarity and is traded in Internet shops far beyond the original purchase price. The album is subject to the marketing license from Warner Music Group.
Prehistory to Bar Minor 7/11 ( Jeanny Dry)
In 1987, the Frankfurt music producers Gunther Mende and Alexander C. De Rouge the song The Spirit Never Dies had written for Falco's planned fifth album Aya, composed and recorded with him. With the title of the Jeanny trilogy should be completed. Since Aya was however rejected the request of the record company, the song was released posthumously in 2009 on the eponymous album The Spirit Never Dies.
As Falco then switched back for the second attempt on his fifth album to his Dutch producers Bolland & Bolland success, wrote, composed and produced these 1988 a third part of Jeanny under the title Where Are You Now? ( Jeanny Part 3). But even this was rejected and not published.
As Falco, after his career setback, in 1990 tried to return to his roots and with Robert Ponger his sixth album Data de Groove produced, he himself wrote a third part of Jeanny, and Robert Ponger composed the music. Under the title bar Minor 7/11 ( Jeanny Dry) he tried to pull a very sober and factual line under the Jeanny story. Since the album Data de Groove but the mass market completely was unsuccessful and unnoticed, hardly anyone was aware of the only self-written and approved by Falco Jeanny Part 3.

After a small talk, the song ends with the following, spoken by Falco text phrase:
" Say, who did you actually said that your name is Jeanny? "
"That's definitely the boss of my record company been?"
"Yes, I understand it already. Say, he's a good guest? "
" It's all clear as it ever was: You and I behind again before the bar "
