Hey, could this cd be any cooler? What a great pairing, Giorgio Moroder mixing KMFDM!

This is definitely worth buying if you are a KMFDM fan. It has the original version (radio edit) and then some strange mixes. The Metropolis Mix and the Paradox mix are a lot heavier than the original mix, while the Poly Matrix edits make you wanna get up and dance! Which is pretty cool, because most KMFDM songs don't do that for me. Kraut, the B side, is silly but good. However, the remixes just aren't as exciting as some of their other remix work (Brute, for instance). So I wouldn't give this 5 stars, though it is really good. Buy it!

The mixes on this CD are quite similar to the original track. The original is even on the CD. The single from the Mortal Kombat Soundtrack is on it along with two tracks that are exactly the same except for length. The high point of this CD is the track Kraut. It is very close to the song Disobedience, but is still good. KMFDM fans must own, dance enthusiasts will enjoy, ANGST lovers won't really enjoy

OK.... this isn't the longest single ever but you can find it for about 2 bucks these days. If you're into KMFDM and you see it, buy it, because Kraut kicks much ass, and the edit of JJJ isn't bad, but buy Nihil if you're just starting and leave this for real fans.

Well, I ordered the vinyl version, and recieved a CD. Not at all happy, as I do not own a CD player....
I feel ripped off.

KMFDM is the top producer for industrial. They are not polite. They are blunt. You will often disagree with them.(if yuu have not listened), but lay back enjoy music and life. It may be a great idea to think of some stuff you do not like and make light.

"Be my, sister salvation; closer now - see the revelation." The title track, Juke-Joint Jezebel is one good techno / industrial song, with a nice beat, good kicking bass for which make this song great to dance to. This version of Juke-Joint Jezebel is a 4 minute edit. Kraut is 5 minutes long and offers a completely different industrial beat, with a heavy guitar, a quick beat from a drum machine, a xylophone and a keyboard. This is not a very appealing song when compared to Juke-Joint Jezebel. With a review of two songs, its time to say, that there are only two songs! Which is why this single is selling new for around fifty cents. At least with that price, this makes it a worthwhile single to at least give a listen to. On the cover is a traditional KMFDM sketching of a woman with short hair and a large, singing into a microphone. The insert of the jewel case has the lyrics to Juke-Joint Jezebel, but not Kraut.

Personally I don't care for "Juke-Joint Jezebel", I just bought this disc hoping to get something improved or different. Improved maybe, different yes. I enjoyed the Poly-matrix and Metropolis mixes, the rest, however, were quite dull. "Kraut" was nothing special either- the original version (from the album Nihil) is better. Oh well, It's worth it.

We have all come to expect cutting edge techno-industrial rage from KMFDM. Most of us; however, have been disapointed at times with their singles/remixes. THIS single IS different. recruiting the enormous talent of Giorgio Moroder(disco producer extraordinaire ala donna summer)to mix the various versions of this tremendous song! I cannot reccommend this disc highly enough and am sadly dissapointed that it is presently out of stock-- if you see this disc snatch it immediately!! you will not believe your ears>
