Today I come after a friend's request who asked me to post this record, so here we go. After the success of the debut Made In Eile and the Germany tour, Nichts goes straight back to the studio and recorded their second album. Tango 2000 stayed in the German album charts for fifteen weeks, where it rose to #22. Again, it was largely positively received by the music press: a band with a sense of style and a sound that is simple and accommodating. In March, the single "Licht Aus" came out which was presented on TV in the youth program Musicbox and the band played fittingly on an almost dark stage with only lit few spots. The flip is "Ein Deutsches Lied" and gave rise to various discussions about German lyrics in pop and rock music (not worth mentioning nowadays) because society is stupid and doesn't understand anything. In June 1982 came the second single "Tango 2000", a tango disco parody with a concise, unmistakable tremo guitar. This single was the band's greatest success and is next to "Radio" the most famous Nichts song and has been used for numerous compilations. A fine record with good lyrics that stand out positively from the rest of the NDW garbage, and Andrea's voice does the rest.
