Ahhh yes I've heard that. I'm a big fan of the guys that make up most of the Teriyaki's, the J-rap group Rip Slyme. And now they're saying that they've collaborated with Daft Punk, Ad Rock, Cornelius, and a dozen other producers? I really expected the album to be a little better didn't you? (although the Cornelius track was really good)

Actually I remember hearing most of it was just jibberish. I can pick out a few lyrics "Did anybody see the snowman...?" "You just can't get back the bone"..????? but I think he's just making it up as he goes along. Listen to "Peking O".......

yea - I definitely was hoping the Teriyaki's album was going to be much better... I actually ordered it off amazon, and before it was shipped to me, I was able to download it. After I heard the tracks... I cancelled my order. Sure I kept the mp3's, but I rarely ever listen to it.

And actually - the same thing happened with Nigo's "Nigo Presents: (B)ape Sounds"... although, in that case - I got the cd, but kept it sealed.

After those two albums, I decided that I was always going to sample tracks before I buy an album - especially in the case with costly imports

The Police released De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da in both Spanish and Japanese.

Der Kommisar originally by Falco, then covered in English by After The Fire

[dubnobasswithme]

isn't the bulk of kraftwerk's disography available in both german and english? i guess that wouldn't make it a 'cover' of the original though since it's the same people doing both versions!
