very cheeky and funny, while at the same time being quite true to the form of Latin music. Good stuff

I'll second this recommendation. There was something in the liner notes about how re-arranging these tracks to latin rhythms revealed the original beauty of the Kraftwerk melodies; I'd tend to agree with that. Kraftwerk get ample props for being "electronic pioneers," but not nearly enough for their great hooks and general songwriting. There's a single, too, with a non-album "Expo 2000" cover as the b-side (I think it might be "Tour de France," not sure).

it's the work of Uwe Schmidt from German group Atom Heart

I knew that Senor Coconut had something to do with Atom Heart; isn't he somehow part of Flanger, too...? JG
