This CD is not produced by the band Oomph! from Wolfsburg/Germany. It is from a second band that calls herself Oomph without "!" at the end. I'd like to inform all Oomph!-fans in america and other countries that this CD has nothing in common with the great noisy music created by Oomph!. I've read on the official homepage of Oomph! that some american fans bought it in hope of getting a new CD by Oomph! and they had been very disappointed about it. I'd like to protect you from a mistake. call in to get more information about the real Oomph! and what CD's they've made.

This CD is by Oomph (without an exclamation point), a band which plays a style of Jewish folk music known as Klezmer. If you are a fan of Klezmer music, this CD will surely not disappoint you. It's excellent in that regard. However, if you are expecting some well-crafted German industrial metal -- how disappointed you will be! Again, this is Oomph, not OOMPH!. I smiled as I read the one review stating that although this CD is not as good as Plastik, it's not all that bad, and it kind of grows on you. Well, I can only say Kudos to that person for having such an open mind. But comparing the two CD's is like comparing Luciano Pavarotti to Marilyn Manson! How could you not tell that the two CD's were produced by two entirely different bands?

r This is NOT THE GERMAN BAND OOMPH! This is some folk/ stuff... How disappointed I was when This arrived! Gah... Wish it Never Listed with OOMPH! What A Collosal mistake!!! this is like confusing orchastra music with Heavy Metal..... Gah... cough, cough.... faint!.... Don't make the same Mistake I did! Unless u are looking for Folk/instramental stuff... avoid like the plague!

To all fans of the german industrial band oomph!:

If you buy this lame CD thinking it's everyone's favorite german rock band, you deserve to suffer listening to an hour of Jews chanting folk songs sounding like Benedictine monks.

This was the 2nd Oomph CD I bought, I liked Plastik better but this one is underrated. Noone buys it because they hear bad things about it and how the noew ones better but I have a different persprective, It great but plastik (I have to agree) is better.

This cd is very good but plastik is better. Of course beign thats this one is older you dont hear too much about it but I have to say I would have difficulties deciding between the two if I only had enough money when I bought them. Alls you hear is how this one is worse than their others but it comes in second with me.
