Album Notes
Senor Coconut Y Su Conjunto: Argenis Brito, Jorge Gonzalez (vocals).
For the uninitiated, Senor Coconut is none other than the electronica artist Atom Heart (real name Uwe Schmidt), dancing his way into the Latin subconscious. EL BAILE ALEMAN consists of Latin covers of Kraftwerk tunes--computer music interpreted as faux acoustic music. Schmidt programmed the whole album (with the exception of some choice vocal parts), transposing Kraftwerk byte-for-byte into a sound field of maracas, congas, shakers, and vibes-a-go-go. Even though the music is played straight, the air of whimsy and sheer ingeniousness is palpable.
"Tour De France" is redone as a hyper-speed merengue, "Homecomputer" as a tarantella, while Schmidt's version of "Showroom Dummies" is positively baroque, like 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. Muy excelente!
