On hearing Senor Coconut on vinyl, I didn't really get it, though I
liked the idea.
But seeing "el Maestro on laptop" live with the band running all over
the stage is a different experience; I thought the joke might wear thin
quickly, but the band were very entertaining and they were tight
musicians (can I say that on 313 ? ;-)

but when I bought the album last year, I returned it cos it was way too
gimmicky as you said - these things need to be spread out thin, it's
only when you stick them together that they are seen to be cheap novelties

>Hum... the first Senor Coconut was really good I thought, not gimmicky
at all (the second one was), it really showed how good are Kraftwerk
tunes, the way they remain excellent songs whatever dress you put on
them. Plus, Senor on stage was fabulous... The Nouvelle Vague, on first
listen, didn't strike me as really good, though it is a funny idea and
tracks will soon end up on Buddha Bar / trendy lounge comps and the like...
