Over the last few years, Berlin's beloved have been intensely busy. Much of their time has been spent working concurrently on various projects, releasing around a dozen studio albums over the last five years. During this latest phase of the ongoing supporter project they set themselves a goal of producing an album over the course of a year, one song a month as a gift to those who were helping to fund their forthcoming album,
Alles Wieder Offen. With three "bonus" tracks thanks to the phase lasting a few months longer than intended, the 15
Jewels are quite unlike Neubauten's entire back catalogue. Even the frequently challenging releases of the
Musterhaus project do not prepare me for the sheer freedom expressed by the band.
