    To be honest, music of Rammstein is not my cup of whiskey. This really sounds like "orders to a Panzer division". But there is one exception: The music from the beginning of the very cool movie "Triple X". It's called "Feuer frei!" (= Open fire!) and so it sounds.

    Rammstein - Feuer frei!

    "Engel" is great too.

    Yes. I’m very familiar.

    If you (generally not specifically P30, I’m sure you’re aware ) can roll with perverse props - Till and the rest put on the quite the Live show.

    The flames passing ~10 feet over my head were quite warm as I recall.

    Sounds very good, thank you for the hint! I've just ordered "All the pretty horses" (as audio book) and started to listen.

    There's a film version with Matt Damon. I've seen "The Martian" with him and really liked it. But first I will listen the audio book (for enjoyment and to improve my English).

    The film, as I recall, is not bad...but the book is so much more. I hope you enjoy it.

    I wish my Deutsch was half as good as your English. 4 years of classes in high school, very little use in the 20+ years since, and so the vocabulary is just gone, apart from what little I retain because of music, etc.

    Wow, this section from chapter 2 of "All the pretty horses" is great (a little abbreviated by me):

    THEY RODE TOGETHER a last time on a day in early March when the
    weather had already warmed and yellow mexicanhat bloomed by the roadside.
    [...]
    His father rode sitting forward slightly in the saddle, holding the reins in one
    hand about two inches above the saddlehorn. So thin and frail, lost in his clothes.
    Looking over the country with those sunken eyes as if the world out there had been
    altered or made suspect by what he'd seen of it elsewhere. As if he might never see
    it right again. Or worse did see it right at last. See it as it had always been, would
    forever be. The boy who rode on slightly before him sat a horse not only as if he'd
    been born to it which he was but as if were he begot by malice or mischance into
    some queer land where horses never were he would have found them anyway.
    Would have known that there was something missing for the world to be right or he
    right in it and would have set forth to wander wherever it was needed for as long
    as it took until he came upon one and he would have known that that was what he
    sought and it would have been.
    I think, I get what you've written about the punctuation (some commas missing at least in the PDF that I've found via Google?). But listening to the audiobook, I don't notice it, no problem. I like it very much so far.
