For those who arent familiar with this release, it is an entire album of Calypso/Latino/Mambo/Cuban/Salsa re-interpretations of classic=20 Kraftwerk tracks. Also there is a newer cd single with more Kraftwerk remakes. Time to mambo with the robots! >> I haven't checked my e-mail in a while, so maybe this thread has been developed more, but.... This album originally had a Japanese release, which had ten tracks, this domestic release appears to have the same track list. It is awesome stuff. There is also a 12" I was listening to yesterday on Multicolor of "Tour De France" that appeared to have five different versions of that track. Absolutely wonderful, maybe my favorite Atom Heart release yet, totally turns Kraftwerk in on its head: instead of eerie, detached, cold futurism we have soulful, Latin blood-pumping mambos and rumbas.=20 Matt
