Wikipedia characterizes the Eifel as "traditionally secluded landscape, where the population maintains a quiet and simple way of life". An assessment that certainly falls short: it is lively and diverse when it comes to the topics that our small Eifel collection presents. Its spectrum ranges from the Eifel band Hall&Rauch to decommissioned fallout shelters at so-called "alternative sites".

Consistently different: The musicians of Hall&Rauch

A band from Cologne with roots in the Eifel? An Eifel band that is based in Cologne? It doesn't really matter, categorizing isn't Hall&Rauch's thing anyway. Especially not musically.
