I don't think too many people know this very good German band ,but if you like Matt Bianco ,Swing Out Sisters, Animal Nightlife or Trio Rio ,then this is a must have album! They have only one hit "Shilly Shally", but the whole album is very worth to listen to my mind. The sky is grey here and even it's raining ,but this music bring back summer:)

My tip is "Beat Boy","Shilly Shally" and "That's Terrific" (salty)
