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!
Upon the American arrival of El Baile Alemán, the first record from Señor Coconut y su Conjunto, listeners were forced to contemplate the notion that a traditional Latin group from South America had organized a tribute album to Germany's favorite futurists, Kraftwerk. Even given the comparatively close ties between the two regions ever since World War II, it's a ludicrous proposition and turns out to be the work of Frankfurt native Uwe Schmidt, who has recorded his Atom Heart material in Chile since 1997. El Baile Alemán is that rare humor LP that succeeds on its musical merits as well. Beginning with a short vocal intro on which Señor Coconut himself introduces the record with appropriately comic English, El Baile Aleman presents remarkably faithful covers of Kraftwerk classics ("Showroom Dummies," "Trans Europe Express," "The Robots," "Autobahn," "Tour de France") with the stark percussion and effects of the originals replaced by just slightly less rigid Latin rhythm presets. Latin music can be a surprisingly precise genre of music, and Schmidt walks the verge between Latin and techno with a special genius that would be practically impossible for other electronic producers. Far more than just a novelty record (though many will see it that way), El Baile Alemán accomplishes an excellent Latin-electronic fusion. ~ John Bush

Down To Sleep
Shalloboi Down To Sleep CD  (2008)

El Baile Aleman
CD $10.15
\'down to sleep\' is shalloboi\'s fifth record. while it sounds heavily processed and overdubbed to death a lot of the effects that are heard on it were achieved in a relatively straightforward way mainly with the use of natural room sounds, mic placement and volume. all of the vocal effects were achieved in a natural way and utilize natural reverbs courtesy of an abandoned stairwell in the apartment building where the band lives and several spaces in the congress theater. the process took about two and a half years and the tracklist was whittled down from a set of 25 songs that were recorded, some songs going through several different versions. three of the songs were written when tyler ritter (guitar, vocals, piano, loops, etc., etc.) was only 18 years old. this album also saw the band expanding the drum sound more and using more fully developed string arrangements and glockenspiel melodies juxtaposed against the droning fullness of the guitar sound, the nearly symphonic loops and the hazy feel of the vocals.\"From the first second upon playing you get locked into this dark brooding ambience. Similar to “My Bloody Valentine†and even “Cocteau Twinsâ€, the group and ideas have really transformed from their early days. Their promo landed in my hands and I was quite taken back by all of it. Listening to it after a couple times, my curiosity and words finally flowed. I had early on thought of a lot of the sounds had been sampled when in fact this is all about analog means. With Cello, real Drums, ...
