Rezensionen


Ihr berühmtes "Barbie Girl" klang schon sehr nach Eintagsfliege: Wieder eine dieser Plastik-Bands mit sexy Sängerin und durchgestylten Begleitern, die zufällig auf eine unwiderstehliche Hookline stießen? Nun, dem Monster-Hit folgten mit "Doctor Jones", "My Oh My", "Turn Back Time" oder "Good Morning Sushine" weitere Hooklines und jede Menge Megaseller. Mittlerweile rechnet Aquas Plattenfirma vor: Alle 23 Millionen verkaufte Tonträger ihrer Paradegruppe aufeinander gestapelt, entstünde ein Turm von 180 Kilometern Höhe. Oder: Alle verkauften CDs hintereinander weggehört, vergingen 818 Jahre. Zum Glück ist der neue Longplayer Aquarius da etwas kürzer. Aber Spaß beiseite. Auch wenn diese bunten Synthetik-Klänge so steril wie ein Chemie-Labor aus den Lautsprechern poppen: Wer unterhaltsame Pop-Liedchen sucht, die einfach gute Laune machen, wird vom dänisch-schwedischen Quartett erstklassig bedient. Gleich zu Anfang gibt sich die neue Single "Cartoon Heroes" mühelos als Pop-Meisterwerk zu erkennen. Ein monumentaler Ohrwurm zu einem imaginären Zeichentrick-Film, dem nur noch die bewegten Disney-Bilder fehlen. Danach grooven Aqua mit fröhlichen Titeln wie "Around The World", "Back From Mars" oder "Halloween" weiter durchs Plastik-Sound-Universum. Mag auch Lene Nystroms Micky-Maus-Stimme auf Dauer etwas nerven: Als Abwechslung bei zu viel Kopf-Musik kann Aqua ausgesprochen erfrischend wirken. --Philipp Herschkowitz -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
If ever there was a group that seemed destined for one-hit wonder status it was Aqua. Their huge 1997/1998 hit "Barbie Girl" was a cleverly designed piece of trifle, fueled by delirious Euro-disco beats and the helium-voiced Lene Grawford Nystrom, along with her comically gruff counterpart, Rene Dif. The song was giddy, silly fun, but it was hard to see how they could top it. Indeed, their debut, while entertaining, didn't show a lot of variety. So, it was easy to assume that their second album, Aquarius, would disappear upon its release in the spring of 2000. Well, that isn't really the case. Although they may never quite have a hit as large as "Barbie Girl" — particularly in America, where Europop acts are always seen as one-hit wonders (with the notable exception of ABBA) — Aquarius is superior to its predecessor in every way. Aqua never strays from their danceable Europop foundation, but they find remarkable variety within that framework. The hooks aren't always the same, the pace is varied and, most importantly, the production is bubbling with details. Each song is an individual creation, from the anthemic ballad "We Belong to the Sea" to the goofy country music parody "Freaky Friday." Every cut is blessed with its own vivid details — banjos, layered vocals, and the cinematic, sweeping strings of "Back From Mars" — thanks to chief producers and songwriters Søren Rasted and Claus Norreen. This is anything but a one-note album, even if Aqua's sonic signatures — the pounding disco beats, the high spirits, the big hooks, and the seemingly mismatched pair of Nystrom and Dif — remain the same. Certainly, Aquarius will not change anybody's mind about Aqua or Europop, but it stands as a high-water mark for the genre.
