"Eitel Optimal ? Das Beste" is a comprehensive greatest hits collection by the influential German band Ideal, released in CD format by WEA International. This album brings together the most iconic tracks from Ideal?s career, capturing their unique blend of Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW), post-punk and pop influences that defined an era in German music history. Listeners are treated to classics like "Blaue Augen," "Berlin," and "Monotonie," which showcase the band's innovative sound and lyrical wit. The compilation serves as both an introduction for new fans and a nostalgic journey for longtime followers.
Ideal was formed in Berlin in 1980 and quickly became one of the leading acts of the NDW movement. Their self-titled debut album achieved gold status, while singles such as "Eiszeit" cemented their reputation across Europe. Known for their minimalist arrangements, sharp lyrics, and charismatic frontwoman Annette Humpe, Ideal left a lasting mark on German pop culture before disbanding in 1983.
