I really enjoyed the two German albums and my battered cassette of them is sorely missed. I like the sheer combination of the sounds produced and the slight reworkings of some of the tunes, especailly Kontakt. (WAKAKA WAKAKA WAKAKA!!!) Then again, ich spreche schlect Deutesce and perhaps that's a good thing when listening to these albums.

Ha ha ha Caste!! I know that you run to Peter,if he calls you!! Yes,my hubby has two German albums,but he says. . .only because he is a collector. . :-] Personally i never heard them. Kontakt? . . . nice! I have to look at these albums!

They'r worth listening to, Dolce: apart from the weirdness of PG singing in German, parts of PG III and the whole PG IV have been remixed, sometimes with great effect as in Kiss of Life - Mundzumundbeatmung, as Rena wrote. Funny 'Who Gives a Shit' (TM) :-] moment (like Codiglio always says, you know him Dolce ) : when I first found the two German Albums - in France, because nobody had them in Italy at the time - looking at the titles I always believed that "Mundzumundbeatmung" should be divided into "Mundzum und Beatmung", like they were two characters or something, so I kept wondering who the hell they were and why Peter was singing about them. :-] It took a schoolmate of mine who knew German to translate that title in the right way, Mund-zu-Mund-Beatmung = mouth-to-mouth breathing, which is the actual theme of the song.

Yes,Caste,my hubby say the same: great remixed,different but really fine! My problem is that he has two albums on casset player,so i have to search something to listen to them :-] Codiglio?? Oh yes,i remember him,another crazy PG's fan! Ah,Caste,if Peter knows how much Italy loves him!!!!
