In the organizer's words:

+ DISKO DISKO Party (classic, groovy disco fun from the 70s till now!)

"Alles ist alles" is the name of the 5th album by Freddy Fischer & His Cosmic Rocktime Band and is the best way to describe the unifying but never egalitarian idea of disco, a style of music that manages the feat of uniting everyone to a pounding beat and still letting them float on it.

On "Alles ist alles", the band, which now operates as a trio, manages to get very close to their punchy, danceable live sound and still sound almost like chamber music at times.

It has also become their most narrative record. The discotheque remains a place of longing, but this time it is specifically located "between the department store and McDonald's downstairs...".

But its purpose is still to break down the boundaries of everyday life and become a part of everything in the moment of dancing. Love is not far away, of course, the force that holds everything together and to which not only "My most beautiful song" is sung.

Disco chanson, you could say, which combines the groovy introversion of Bill Withers with the more artistic moments of Udo Jürgens. And in the almost experimental "Traum 1" there is even a hint of lampchop-like phrasing. Freddy Fischer with Fender-Rhodes organ and various synths, Ron Rocktime on bass and Ritchie Rocktime on drums move very close together this time and talk about the darkness of pain and the possibility of resolving it.

Sometimes serious and universal, sometimes whimsical and silly-concrete as in "Bumtchicke" and sometimes rough and spherical at the same time, as in the last track of the record "Silberne Wege" where the band catapults itself into space with the help of free-swinging synth pads on a trippy groove.
