From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NunSexMonkRock is the debut studio album by German singer Nina Hagen. It was released on June 12, 1982 by CBS Records. It marked Hagen's first release since her departure from the Nina Hagen Band and was also her first album with all songs in English language. Hagen recorded the album in New York City with Mike Thorne and collaborated with musicians Paul Roessler, Ferdi Karmelk, and Karl Rucker when writing the songs for the album. The lyrics deal with various themes including motherhood, religion, drug abuse, and UFOs. Musically, NunSexMonkRock is an experimental rock with influences of post-punk and new wave music.
Upon its release, NunSexMonkRock received mixed reviews from music critics. While some praised Hagen's theatrical vocals, others criticized its experimental production. Rolling Stone called it the "most unlistenable" album ever made. Commercialy, the album achieved a moderate success. In the United States, it peaked at number 184 on the Billboard 200. In Germany, it reached number twenty-seven, and also peaked inside the top forty in other countries, such as New Zealand and Norway. "Smack Jack" was the only single released from the album. It managed to be successful in Norway where it peaked at number seven.
Background
In 1979, after working on the movie Cha Cha with Herman Brood and Lene Lovich, Hagen met the Dutch guitarist Ferdinand "Ferdi" Karmelk, with whom she later had a daughter Cosma Shiva. Together they started working on new music after Hagen's departure from the Nina Hagen Band.
After her European tour was canceled in 1980, Hagen moved to the United States and signed with Bennett Glotzer, the former manager of Frank Zappa. She began working on songs in English, since most of her previous material was in German and after six month she returned to Germany with her new tour. Shortly after discovering she was pregnant, Hagen broke up with Karmelk and moved back to Los Angeles. In 1982, Hagen signed a new recording deal with CBS Records.
Critical reception
Upon its release, NunSexMonkRock received mixed reviews from music critics. Bil Carpenter at AllMusic gave it four and a half star out of five, calling it an "eccentric rock material" and praising Hagen's vocal diversity. Robert Christgau commented that "she does have a new-wave sense of humor - instead of taking on Maria Callas with her umpteen-octave range she does impressions of Linda Blair and Mercedes McCambridge."

Nina Hagen is such a unique and exceptional woman with her particular style in al her songs and it's fascinating how she evolved through different influences but with this particular song my little boy when he was around 6 months old he used to fall asleep while I sing to him in my arms and when it says and you are not alone .... He used to look @ me like showing he felt secure and on that moment I told him: " I will always take care of you " and after that he closed his eyes!!.
Also the lyrics are very powerful and it's a message from Aliens and it' the time for mankind to transcend as one
Fantastic show of excellent images to honour our german singer Nina Hagen and the existence of UFOs! Congrats for this unforgettable good work!
Thank you, Max Tito.

BEAUTIFUL IMAGES ... BEAUTIFUL VIDEO ... THERE ARE TWO THINGS ... OR YOU LIKE HER...OR YOU DON'T LIKE HER...THERE ARE NO MIDDLE WAYS !!!! .... GREETINGS FROM ITALY 🇮🇹✋😜✋
This song is just outstanding amazing and beyond this planet!!
I have a Son and when he was a little baby his mom and I tried different lullaby aongs like classical music or many other lullaby songs but with this songs he went to sleep immediately!!
This is one of my favorites from Nina Hagen!!
And in our times of change its just the right one!!
❤❤❤❤❤
incredible even today in 2023
Talked to Nina on the phone yesterday.She lives outside Berlin now . in a part of Germany,where my father's family had a ranchlike property...with horses etc. My dad's grandfather was an honour citizen of Berlin ,citybuilder/architect and multimillionaire.The Uckermark village where my ancestors were l a n d o w n e r s is called ROEPERSDORF...maybe I get the land back..
Nina had eye surgery and needs to recover..they were after her like they are after a l l unique people..glad ,she survived the 27 club BRIANJONESTOWNMASSACRE..
She is preparing a new album,which is scheduled to come out august/september 2022.We have known each other for d e c a d e s.When we met in Los Angeles - after listening to an audiocassette of my singing - she was interested to record a VELVET UNDERGROUND song together with me.Unfortunately,her producer (he produced the last album of NICO) didn't want me to record with her.
We need to send NINA a lot of good thoughts right now..so her eyes heal quickly.
She is an i r r e p l a c a b l e energy and soul,trapped in an overused physical vehicle.
One of the greatest singers on earth...MARIA CALLAS gone free energy so to say..
Thanks for Sharing 👽👽👽
Absolutely phenomenal,brings back good memories.We are not alone.........

Good eletronic music
Alberto, percebeu que no ultimo UFO DID IT está pulando? É assim que eles gravaram em CD de algum LP arranhado, percebe?
Obrigado pelo comentário Carlos. Você tem razão, comprei o vinil em 1982/1983 ele não pula, acho que todas as versões em CDs pulam, não sei o motivo.
@@albertofranca5009 pois eles gravaram de um disco arranhado. Eu sou virginiano e noto tudo hahaha
Abraços e um lindo ano novo !
@@Kyle_heringer KKKK, Obrigado, um ótimo ano novo pra você, abraço.
I contact SONY records and they say they've erased the mastertape... That's why it also took so long to wait for the CD version (with 'bonus' tracks and one of them is out of sync for some reason)
@@koenielinux3131 wow, it is a irresponsible to have erased this , very disrespectful to the artist and to the fans. Thanks for your comments.

Great trippy track but she is wrong - to achieve transcendental states one needs to let go of concentration.
Wer hört so eine scheiße
От дерьма слышу!
