After his successful duet album with Florian Silbereisen, Thomas Anders is now again devoting himself to a solo project and is listening to the long-awaited wish of his international fan base with his new single "Cosmic Rider" and the accompanying album "Cosmic" - finally an album in English again. The song "Cosmic Rider" sounds exactly how a song has to sound to make the hearts of die-hard fans beat faster: on the one hand, 100% of the classic Modern Talking sound, which has been consistently developed and transported into the present day. The track was produced again by producer Christian Geller (including Eloy de Jong, Giovanni Zarrella), who was also responsible for the duet album with Florian Silbereisen.

For Modern Talking fans this release was rather historical and is probably the best among Thomas's solo discs. Nothing super-duper, no chills down [my] spine, but it has some solid quality, considering the ever-strong and charming voice and brave take on musical styles different from Euro Disco that made Thomas so famous. It is music for specific mood, rather relaxing, even though too sugar-sweet on some tracks. If you are a fan, you shouldn't regret this album, though at the time it was not adequately accepted after Modern Talking's split. Worthy collectible item.
