I recently picked this up on the recommendation of a couple of Latin
percussionists--outfuckingstanding! I played it for a friend of mine who's a
total Kraftwerk fiend, and he fell over laughing. Senor Coconut stays rather
true to the melodies of the original tracks, but adds this Exotica vibe to it
that makes it beyond unique.
Interesting to hear it's actually a German who's doing it. Are there any
interviews or articles on the web anyone knows about?
Wacky Germans...
