EAV – Nepomuk's Rache Retro LP (Columbia / EMI, 1990)

With " Nepomuk's Rache" (Nepomuk's Revenge ), the Austrian cult band Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung (EAV) released an album in 1990 that combined satire, pop, and rock in typical EAV style. Songs like "Ding Dong," "Samurai," and "Es fährt kein Zug" (No Train Is Coming) blend biting social commentary with humor, irony, and catchy melodies. The colorful comic-style artwork perfectly reflects the band's playful style—a classic of German-language pop cabaret from the late 80s and early 90s.

Historical background:
EAV was founded in the late 1970s and became one of the most successful Austrian bands in the 1980s. With hits like "Banküberfall " (Bank Robbery), "Küss die Hand, schöne Frau" (Kiss Your Hand, Beautiful Woman), and "Fata Morgana," they shaped an era that blended pop, cabaret, and social satire. "Nepomuk's Rache" (Nepomuk's Revenge) marked the transition of their sound aesthetic from the Neue Deutsche Welle (New German Wave)-influenced 1980s phase to the radio-friendly pop-rock of the 1990s.
