RAMMSTEIN - DAS MODELL

This is an interesting release.  For many reasons...  First and foremost, this single by Rammstein doesn't appear on any of their albums.  The track is actually a cover of a 1982 song by Kraftwerk.  Both versions are fantastic although you have to give intensity and excitement to Rammstein's version as Kraftwerk's is somewhat droning and solemn.

The single lists 4 titles but the final title is actually a computer game you can play on Windows when you stick the disc in your computer.  You take on the form of one of the Rammstein members and you make your way through a series of levels using a flamethrower weapon.  It's actually quite strange and compelling all at the same time.

The second track on this single is a b-side called 'Kokain'.  This is a strange and confusing song with all sorts of implied meaning.  The basic concept is chopping up lines of cocaine and snorting them, but sub-textually, there's much more happening here and some of it highly questionable.

The third track is an alternate version of 'Alter Mann' from "Sehnsucht".  Not much to go into here.

This single is quite rare now and sells for quite a bit of money on sites like eBay and Amazon.  It's packaged in a slim case typical of European and UK singles.  If you can find it at an affordable price, I suggest picking it up.  It really is an amazing disc.  And as far as I know, it's the only place you can find 'Dad Modell' and 'Kokain'.

My final words:  EASILY ONE OF THE BEST EURO SINGLES EVER!  EXCLUSIVE INCREDIBLE CONTENT, INVENTIVE AND PACKED WITH VALUE!  MUST OWN FOR ANY RAMMSTEIN FAN.
