Synopsis

Album Details
Digitally Remastered Double Disc Anthology of the German Postpunk Queen's Repertoire. Like a Comet from the East Side, Hagen Emigrated to the West and Channeled her Fierce Energy Into Something that Young Germans in the Late 1970's Completely Related To. Her Record Label Tried to Translate that Energy for an Anglophile Audience, but with Mixed Results. She Released Some of her German Material in the U.s., But the Label Demanded and Got a Full on English Album in "Nunsexmonkrock" in 1982 and a Giorgio Moroder Produced Follow Up that Yielded the Hit "New York New York". This Collection also Includes her Renditions of Lene Lovich's "Lucky Number" and the Tubes' "White Punks on Dope".
 

CD Reviews

Ambitious and Incomplete
Sean B. Mccarthy | Albuquerque, NM | 08/01/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I honestly think this is the best Nina Hagen collection in print right now. It's an excellent survey of her work, including collaborations with other artists and tracks that are frequently neglected on other "best of" compilations. The remastering on the Nina Hagen Band tracks (and on the earlier selections) sounds great. If you're new to Nina, this an affordable and accurate sampler. Why "New York, New York", "My Way" and her single with Apocalyptica are absent, I don't know."
