Nina Hagen Band - Unbehagen (1980)

"Unbehagen" is the second studio album by Nina Hagen Band, released in February 1980 by CBS Records. It is the last album released by the band, before Nina Hagen decided to pursue a solo career. The band kept on performing under the name Spliff.

The album produced three singles, "African Reggae", "Herrmann hiess er" and "Auf'm Rummel". "Herrmann hiess er" deals with drug addiction and is believed to be about Hagen's ex-boyfriend Herman Brood. An accompanying music video was also released. The album also contains a German cover version, "Wir leben immer... noch", of Lene Lovich's hit single "Lucky Number". The song "Wenn ich ein Junge wär" was recorded live in April 1979 at the Saarbrücken Congress Hall.

Fuelled by the hard rocking Nina Hagen Band, Hagen punkily and operatically drives us from "African Reggae" to the the Carabet-esque "Fall in Love Mit Mir". Pure inspired expression.
