5.0 out of 5 stars Senor Coconut... the best... and it's from my country!, February 12, 2003

Yazir (Osorno, Chile) - See all my reviews

This review is from: El Baile Aleman (Audio CD)

[...]i'm from chile and since a couple of month i had never heard about Uwe Schmidt (Senor Coconut). I started listening to him and then someone told me that he lived in Santiago, Chile. I bought the record inmediatly (i'm a big Kraftwerk fan). The cd is awesome. Here in chile we do not listen to salsa or rumba or cha cha cha.. that's in the center of america. Here people listen other stuff. This guy is a german person, he married a chilean woman and came to live here. this is a pretty famous guy, but nobody knows him here. it's funny. he started to make this kraftwerk covers, and made an imaginary band "Senor Coconut y su Conjunto". This "conjunto" do not exist. this is only Uwe Schmidt making music here in chile.... well i hope now you know a little bit more about Senor Coconut... [...]!

5.0 out of 5 stars Robots doing the chachacha!, May 6, 2001

By

Sander Kessels (amsterdam, nh Netherlands) - See all my reviews

This review is from: El Baile Aleman (Audio CD)

So who is this guy? Senor Coconut is the German guy who also listens to the name Atom Heart. He playes the keyboard, but if you listen to this masterpiece of reversed remixing, you won't be able to hear it. The band Flanger is one of the projects Atom Heart played with and is one of the pioneers in trying to bridge the gap between acoustic jazz and electronica. So he does with this Kraftwerk-hommage. The whole cd sounds as if it is done by a acoustic combo from Chili... If you know someone that still states that it is impossible to make passionate, hot music with electronica, let him listen to this cd. He will be fooled and completely baffled. But what really makes this album stand out is it's sense of humor: 'the next logical step and the future of electronic music!' Cha-cha-cha!

5.0 out of 5 stars JUST EXCELLENT..., February 6, 2003

By

Mark Norvell (HOUSTON) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: El Baile Aleman (Audio CD)

Fantastic homage to Kraftwerk by Senor Coconut Y Su Conjunto. Wonderful blend of Latin rythym and electronic music that puts me in a trance. It can be played loud or soft and still work. My favorite picks are "Showroom Dummies" and "Neon Lights". I just love it and will keep an eye on this talented group. Highly recommended. Very highly.
