This release, featuring three tracks lifted from the most recent album by one of Cologne's finest and then refashioned by different hands is given expansive international breadth through an adept choice of the studio talents involved. Terre Thaemlitz endows "La Premiere" with a troubled minimalist gloss that amply sustains interest throughout its brooding 13 minute duration. On "Metropolis" Hans Nieswandt gets close to the layered and subtle intricacies of Czukay's original, while "EchoGirl", remixed by Frank Moreno and Marco Dionigi, has an implacable dancefloor drive to it. But 'new millenium'? Dudes, where you been the last four years?
