Don't we all wish...

"Don't we wish that this was what "German clubpop" really sounded like, or American clubpop for that matter? These tracks are offered up by some better known artists (Mouse on Mars, Dauerfish, Stereo Total) as well as a handful of more obscure ones. Almost all of them share the same silly, cheeky quality exemplified by Die Sterne's "Themenladen"... how can you resist a track in which pitch-bent (very high) voices announce that it will change into... "SALSAAAA!" In any case, regardless of how truthfully this compilation represents the German clubpop scene, we should all be thankful that it exists. Because, really, as long as it sounds good in your car on the Autobahn, what difference does it make?"
