(Viel Zu Wenig) Zeit (Viel Zeit-Mix)

Released in 1987 by EMI, (Viel Zu Wenig) Zeit was a significant single for Purple Schulz, a German singer-songwriter who rose to prominence during the Neue Deutsche Welle movement. This release, specifically the Viel Zeit-Mix, encapsulates the synth-pop sensibilities and melancholic lyricism that defined Schulz's mid-eighties output. It was crafted during a period when Schulz was transitioning from new wave experimentation toward a more polished, introspective pop sound, addressing the universal tension between personal aspiration and the constraints of a busy life.

The visual and sonic aesthetic of the record reflects the high production standards of EMI's mid-eighties European division, focusing on accessible, radio-friendly arrangements that mirrored the era's fascination with rhythmic, layered synthesizers. While Purple Schulz is often categorized alongside the wider NDW scene, this particular track is noted for its enduring emotional resonance in German-speaking territories. It remains a representative piece of 1980s German music, capturing a specific cultural moment where electronic production met deeply personal, human-centric storytelling.
