Review

Q (9/02, p.128) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Kraftwerk fans will find much to enjoy..."
Mixmag (7/00, p.167) - 4 out of 5 - "...Takes [Kraftwerk's] most famous tracks and re-jiggs them for a beach-side merengue party. Congas replace computers, castanets secede keyboards..."
The Wire (7/00, p.64) - "...A revealing demonstration of Kraftwerk's strength and vibrancy..."
NME (7/29/00, p.27) - 7 out of 10 - "...Something that people who are post-everything...might find pleasant....Senor Coconut has genuine interpretive gifts..."
CMJ (8/7/00, p.39) - "...Deliciously entertaining....you don't need to be a Latin lover to get your groove on with this upbeat salsa sensation."

Product note

Senor Coconut Y Su Conjunto includes: Atom Heart.
Recorded in 1999. Includes liner notes by Lazlo Curas.
For the uninformed, Senor Coconut is none other than electronix master (and world-weary traveler) Atom Heart (real name: Uwe Schmidt), dancing his way into the Latin subconscious. EL BAILE ALEMAN is a hoot-and-a-half: Latin covers of Kraftwerk tunes, computer music interpreted as faux-acoustic music, if the mind can conceive of such a thing. Actually, trickster Schmidt programmed the whole enchilada alone (with the exception of some choice vocal parts), transposing Kraftwerk byte-for-byte into a soundfield of maracas, congas, shakers, and vibes-a-go-go. Even though the music is played straight, the air of whimsy and sheer ingeniousness will make you cackle and grin from ear to ear.
"Tour De France" is redone as a hyper-speed merengue, "Homecomputer" as the tarantella from Titan. Schmidt renders "Showroom Dummies" positively "baroquian," as done by Tito Puente drowning in acid. EL BAILE ALEMAN is a feast for the senses, a smorgasbord of sonic samba and a coup de grace of calliopes and circus shrieks. Mui excellente!
