The video

The video is divided into three parts; there is a separate video for every song, but they all follow the same concept: They are set in Berlin

Berlin

 (Bela is 84 years old, Farin 83, Rodrigo 76).

The three videos can be already distinguished at the beginning: In "Himmelblau" there is a turquoise jet-car, in "Breit" a dark green one, and in "Perfekt" a dark red one.

All three videos start with two doctors pushing a trolley up to a door and then entering a code. When the door opens, you see a computer with name, age and status. Instead of the actual status, there is the title of the song. The two doctors then give everyone a shot of some kind.

"Himmelblau" stars Farin Urlaub

Construction

Instead of a usual single groove that spirals from the rim to the middle of the vinyl, this is a triple Helix

Examples of helixes are coil springs and the handrails of spiral staircases. A "filled-in" helix – for...
