FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. It is the 1991 German first edition on Kling Klang / Electrola (cat. no. 1C 164-7 96650 1); the label reads “Klingklang Produkt 1991”.

Is this the German or the English version?
The German one: here the tracks are called “Die Roboter”, “Computerliebe”, “Taschenrechner”, “Radioaktivität”, “Metall Auf Metall”, “Heimcomputer” and “Musik Non Stop”. An English version was released internationally at the same time, e.g. on Elektra.

Is “The Mix” a best-of?
Not in the usual sense: the pieces were digitally rearranged and re-recorded, some – such as “Die Roboter” and “Radioaktivität” – with new melodies or lyrics.
