Hail, Krautrocker!

>Neu! 2
>And yet there is "Neuschnee 78", "Super 16" and "Super 78". The

On regular speed, a track to be played at 78 RPM, would sound very slow. On
normal speed, a track to be played at 16 RPM, would sound very fast.

If you're having troubles translating, let us see the credits.

>And then there's "Cassetto" and "Hallo

>labelled such. I'm really disappointed, as this sounds like a
>good album otherwise.

Sick humour?
