Synopsis

Product Description
Re-issue of the Latin electronica classic tribute to Kraftwerk. Senor Coconut programmed the entire album (with the exception of choice vocal parts), transposing Kraftwerk byte for byte into a soundfield of maracas, congas, and vibes-a-go-go. He explains, "I think that it's not just a covers album. It also unveils quite a lot about the original compositions and their significance. Kraftwerk songs contain a strong musical content even if freed from their electronic arrangements. And I don't think the band is as serious as people think they are."

Delightful
B. Hildreth | 05/12/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)

"These are probably the happiest most cheerful "covers" of the Kraftwerk classics available. The xylophone interpretations of the original electronica are astounding. All the tracks are set to a latin beat, Merengue, Cumbia, Cha-Cha-Cha... but this doesn't distract/detract at all from the original. Even the cover art is a hoot. A very happy purchase, I hope Senor Coconut does Art of Noise next."
