Excellent version February 2, 2006
Haven't quite mastered how to play the videos (seem to be computer-playable). The audio plays well and sounds great. There are 3 versions of the song - orchestral, radio mix, and ambient mix. All very good in their own ways.
A Moving Piece...even if you don't know German December 17, 2004

A change of pace for master trance DJ Paul van Dyk, this very good song finds him pairing his skills with German singer Peter Heppner on what essentially amounts to a somewhat downtempo, but thoroughly inspiring journey through the trials and tribulations that Germany's citizens have confronted and overcome during the last 60 years.
Granted, as a non-German speaker, it took a full translation of the lyric for me to completely grasp its message of survival. But the included video (which can be watched for free at Viva.tv -- Germany's better answer to MTV) does much to convey the general idea of what is being communicated. As it contains a vast array of newsreel footage ranging from the Berlin Airlift and the erection of the Berlin wall to the fall of said wall and the reunification of that arguably self-immolated nation.
In any case, the song is well worth a listen or fifty if you like van Dyk. And the video...well...it's perhaps the best music video I have ever seen; as it's nothing less than a very short, historical film.
