Assessment
" Merli sat alone by the embodiment of rauhbeinigen police loner standards. The currently to be politically incorrect style, his exaggerated, even cartoon-like characters, as well as the crude direct sound, fascinate, nowadays, one audience that felt always liked well beyond the usual market mechanisms.
