Falco was an Austrian musician, born on 19 February 1957 in Vienna, Austria. He gained international fame with his hit single "Rock Me Amadeus" in the 1980s. Known for his unique blend of pop and rock music, Falco's energetic performances captivated audiences worldwide. Tragically, he passed away on 6 February 1998 near Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic due to a car accident. Despite his untimely death, Falco's legacy as a pioneering artist continues to inspire generations of musicians.

Rhino Records, also known as Rhino, is a renowned music label that was established in 1973 by Richard Foos. Starting as a record store in Westwood California, Rhino quickly gained recognition with its first successful release "Go To Rhino Records" by Wild Man Fischer in 1975. The label's early logo featured "Rocky the Rhino" and focused on novelty, surf, local new wave bands, and reissues of out-of-print records from other labels.

Under the guidance of Bill Inglot for production, Ken Perry for mastering, and A&R team Gary Stewart and James Austin, Rhino expanded its catalog to include a wide range of reissues by the mid-1980s. The label underwent a logo redesign during this time period to simply "Rhino". In 1984, Rhino released its first CD and became known for manufacturing high-quality CDs made by Sanyo (1984-85) and various manufacturers from Japan or Switzerland thereafter.

In 1985, Rhino entered into a distribution deal with Capitol Records which lasted until 1992. This partnership allowed access to Capitol's back catalog and led to the release of reissues of old Capitol albums. Additionally, EMI and Rhino acquired the Roulette family of labels in 1989. As their deal with Capitol came to an end in 1992, Time-Warner offered an opportunity for growth. Half of the label was sold to Time-Warner

Data De Grrove, originally released in May 1990, This album was a collaboration with Robert Ponger, the producer on Falco’s first two albums, who composed his first big hit “Der Kommissar.” The pair also went back to their tried and tested approach to songwriting: Ponger wrote the music while Falco came up with the words. The record has often been described as a concept album celebrating the age of computing. However, a closer examination of the subjects covered leads to the conclusion that the thread common to all of the tracks is actually sex rather than computers. “Data De Groove” and “Charisma Kommando” were released as singles. All of the mixes produced at the time (including the full-length versions of four songs only found on the first CD release) are included on CD2 of this deluxe edition. One mix of “Charisma Kommando” is available on CD for the first time. Data de Groove is considered to be complex and intellectual, with many fans regarding it as one of Falco's most authentic works.
