[edit] Story

There is a supposed "story" around the album, supported by bootlegs and word of mouth. After releasing "Wenn Alles Richtig Ist, Denn Stimmt Das Nicht" (When everything's going right, something's gotta be going wrong) Nena began writing new songs for her next planned studio album. She even began performing some of them live. However, Nena's manager at the time suggested she throw it out and begin a new album. Nena took her advice, forming "Chokmah". Many of the old tracks were re-written and committed to her children's album "Madou". This is supported by bootleg live recordings that are circulated among Nena fans. A demo has also spread, called "Heimliche Liebe (Secret Love)", which was released as Mondlied on Madou.
