Hello, I have entered the competition at ACIDplanet to remix a Madonna track, and I have remixed 'Deeper And Deeper' It has a few KW influences in it!! So If anyone is interested you can hear it at : http://madonna.acidplanet.com/Lounge/ArtistDetail.asp?ArtistID=6228 Feedback would be cool.. I dont expect to win.. About Ralf and his singing.. Ralf Hutter has always been the first to admit that he doesnt rate himself as a cool singer.. In an interview he stated that he doesnt sing like Rod Stewart, but that he regards the KW way of singing as a rhythmic pattern ( or something ) He has always had a nervy voice, but on some bootlegs of live shows, his voice In English is clearly more relaxed. If you listen to Tribal Gathering 97 he sings a nervous vocal in Computer World.. but after that song he gets clearly more relaxed in his singing.

>Nobody not owning and loving the German albums can be a real fan. I like the German versions as well as the English (and French, Spanish, Italian, etc...). Especially since the lines often differ slightly from language to language. For instance, I get a laugh from that line in the German version of the Model ("Sekt?...KORRRRRRREKT!). I'm glad that Wolfgang explained the story behind that line in his book about KW. I always wondered what that was. Definitely get KW in all languages if you're a fan, even if not a collector. By the way, what about all those rumors about a Polish version of some of their songs? Any truth to that? David M

1) I always thought that some KW songs were born in English, while others are born in German - this accounts for some differences in metrics and vocals as a whole. For example, it sounds quite obvious (to me) that the German lyrics to "Airwaves" or "TEE" are much more suited that their English counterparts, while "The Model" and "Computer Love" sound better in English. 2) I'm Italian and while I understand both English and German I think I'm not biased towards a particular language. Probably those of you who speak German or English as their mother tongue can find the "foreign" version a little awkward. Just my twopence. Ciao, Luca

>Nobody not owning and loving the German albums can be a real fan. Nonsense. I am an enormous fan of this band and prefer to just stick to the songs in my own language, in the form that they appeared in the UK pop charts, such as The Model, that reached number one over here. Ralf sounds great when he sings in English, because he has an awkward sounding voice, whereas in German it is just too easy for him.

DP used to briefly show Florian's cut out from the TEE cover, on their old website. He was one of the many they call: "masters"... I've only seen that site once in the past, sorry for not being more specific. E
