2.0 out of 5 stars No pity..., February 22, 2008

The remix album of Hau Ruck, Ruck Zuck, saved it from cookie-cutter songwriting and bland metal production with interesting synth accompaniments (WWIII), wild re-interpretations (Mini Mini Mini), and bizarre non-sequitirs (Ansage). I was hoping for the same from Brimborium. I got disappointment. Something of the inverse actually.

The parent album, Tohuvabohu, is a step in the right direction while its progeny has bland four on the floor additions so transparent that the only way you can tell it apart from the original is by the removal of various guitar loops. The best tracks on this remix, Combichrist's Tohuvabohu and Die Krupps' Looking For Strange, are just okay. Not worth the cost of the cd on their own. Buy those two tracks separately, run away, and don't look back!

4.0 out of 5 stars I thought it was better than Tohuvabohu., February 23, 2008

A lot of the songs (especially the Die Krupps remix of Looking For Strange) were pretty good (better than the originals I thought). I'm more of a fan of their sound on symbols than anything else (I fairly liked WWIII too). Overall I liked it (the Superpower remix was boring and stupid in my opinion, the All Strung Up mix of Looking For Strange was weird and stupid too.)

Try it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally remixes by other bands to see how other bands would make a KMFDM song, February 21, 2009

Change is good and this cd offers remixes from top bands like Die Krupps and Combichrist as well as remixes of songs from some of the members of the band. I still enjoy listening to this cd from time to time and don't think I'll ever get sick of it.
