Once again, Cleopatra compiles a bunch of remixes of a band's new album and we
fail to actually what the album truly sounds like. At least in this case we
have five original unmixed tracks, and they by far outshine any of the remixes
by light years. The remixes tend to bring the guitar closer to the front of the
mix, and drive everything else out and you end up listening to a metal band for
the first half of the album. The one exception is of course the F.M. Einheit
remix. Fusti never fails to amaze me with his musical talent of totally
deconstructing a track and rebuilding it from it's core components. The man is
brilliant. As for the rest of the music, although a little heavy on the guitar
edge, the original tracks still provide a good entertainment value and hilight
much of the talent that Die Krupps has developed throughout the years.
