Synopsis

Album Description

Reissue of the album that made Senor Coconut a household name (sort of). El Baile Alemán was originally released in 2000 On this release, Señor Coconut (Uwe Schmidt, Atom Heart) reworks Kraftwerk with a Latin punch. Although the idea of Latin reworkings of arty German synth music may seem like a novelty, the results are far from it. This is as real as it gets and successfully manages to reinterpret both musical styles while never straying too far away from either. Flawless.

CD Reviews

Must Be Heard to Be Believed

David Peterson | Southern California | 03/17/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Try to imagine some generic, cheesy Latin lounge music. Got it? Now try taking Kraftwerk's "Showroom Dummies" and cramming it into that genre. Got it? No? Then you have to listen to this album. In fact, you can listen to Señor Coconut's version of "Showroom Dummies" and a few of the others tracks from this album, since the band's made them available on the internet (just type "Señor Coconut showroom dummies" into Google, and you'll find it). I highly recommend it. Because, even though this is pretty much a gimmick, the music is still rather enjoyable. Rather very enjoyable."

Truly interesting

"This is one of the very few interesting Kraftwerk interpretations. It really shows that their songs are not genre-bound, but timeless classics of minimalist songwriting. As a previous reviewer suggested, the album would have been even better if they had used Spanish lyrics."

This guy is a real genius

"By using different styles of Latino rhytms, sounds and intruments, he made a new sense to old songs... the original song spirit is preserved, and you easily recognize which songs are emulated after a few beats, but the sound is something really new. A must."
