Einzelhaft, (Solitary Confinement or Incarcerated!), (1982) is the first album by Falco.
Achieved some success with its flagship single, "Der Kommissar", an innovative and influential German-language rap song.
A Promo Single, "Auf der Flucht" (On the Run), was released in the USA and France.
Other songs on Einzelhaft are heavily indebted to the "Berlin Trilogy" of David Bowie: "Nie mehr Schule" borrows its music from Bowie's instrumental track from Low called "Speed of Life", whereas "Helden von heute" is a transparent rewrite of Bowie's song, "Heroes".
