I'll go for Panzerballett's Rammstein cover.

I'm very non-German, rarely do I experience schadenfreude. ;) Nun, wir können nicht alle fließend Deutsch schreiben.

Other than one fanciful title that plays on Spock's Beard in my OP, it's all been copy-pasted from PA (I used the search feature). Most of these tracks are not in my collection. My German is not up to wanting to attempt to type out all those titles by hand (just searching for and copy-pasting them took a long time). Even in English I make many mistakes as is when I don't copy-paste titles -- like accidentally typing Giant Genitals instead of Gentle Giant, which is an easy mistake to make when one's not altogether on the balls. The Belgian COS' Babel entry is in my collection, and it is listed as "Mein Maschine ist schön" on my album and at other sites I've looked at, including at babyblaue-seiten.de. I do seem to recall you mentioning that about Cöß before, or could it be case of dejä vü? ;)

Frank Zappa, followed by Klaus Chultze and Grobshnitt.

I voted for COS' "Mein Maschine ist Schön". I love COS, and Babel is an album that doesn't get as much love as Postaeolian Train Robbery and Viva Boma, but I love all three of those albums.

I listened to Babel for the first time in ages last week. I don't know how those grooves failed to grab me on previous listens. But yeah its right up there with those two first.

I'm glad you really appreciate it now. Even the lowly-rated Swiß Chalet has some value to me.

This was before I knew about google translations so I spoke to a guy at my church(I think his name was Ludwig) who was fluent in German and he helped me come up with something in response to what he wrote to me. It turns out the guy I sold the cd to spoke perfect English. Lol.

Funny anecdote.

This is different, but I used to teach in Japan, and over here in Vancouver, BC I have been embarrassed when I would try to speak to people in Japanese and they would insist on responding back to me in English. In Japan I was popular with strangers wanting to practice their English with me. They'd come up to me, go out of their ways to direct me, invite me to bars, to bed sometimes to be honest, I liked that (being a stranger in a strange land has its advantages) How I miss those days....

I might say that I learnt of "mein" because of Hitler's "Mein Kampf (not a fan of it of course, but it's interesting from a historical perspective), but my parents who had lived in Germany for some years used German when they didn't want the kids to understand (in that way, and because of a good German friend, I picked up some rudimentary German when young). I did learn at a young age that it's better not to reference Mein Kampf when you meet a German, and even saying something like "Ich bin ein Berliner" is generally best not dropped when you meet Germans, unless perhaps you are discussing JFK. I am guilty of so many faux pas.

Sure. A little uneven but many moments of brilliance. The last album of theirs Pasiones ain't half bad either. Pascale Son is fantastic but Ilona Chale is a wonderful vocalist too. Love this kind of new wave/avant pop
