I knew that song sounded familiar! The KMFDM version(didn't know it was a cover) just popped up in iTunes. It says I last listened to it on August 5.

 

I discovered KMFDM via Sputnik 7, where I first saw the video for Megalomanic.

Oh wow, I didn't even know that one. Pretty cool. DAF did the original indeed, they're around for 30 years now, starting somewhen in 1978 already

 

I was linking to the Mussolini song since it's still the most popular I think. I also like their slower numbers like Greif nach den Sternen. I like that monoton/minimal sound, just like Kraftwerk for example. (While I'm at it:

)

KMFDM is one of those bands I know for years, but I never really spent much time to really listen to them. I think I only have their

single (produced by

!). I'm sure I've seen them live once, but I can't even remember what occasion it was. They were probably opening for

or something like that

I liked that - Kraftwerk is another favorite of mine. Just checked iTunes Store, they only have Die Kleinen und die Bösen and the single T.E.O.T.H. for DAF

Ooh, I like that too! iTunes has 6 albums for them. I've bookmarked both DAF and WE for future purchases (just paid $120+ to update prior purchases to iTunes Plus, so I've stopped buying new music until they finish the iTunes Plus conversion).

I only gave that KMFDM song 3 stars (their cover of Der Mussolini got 4). My 5 star songs for their stuff are all from their albums Adios and Symbols: The afore mentioned Megalomaniac,

, D.I.Y.,

, Adios, Sycophant (can't find on YouTube),

,

,

, Stray Bullet, and Down and Out (can't find on YouTube).

The latter seems to coincide with the total eclipse of the sun we had over central Europe in 2000. I'd be careful though, it might just be a Bonnie Tyler cover

 

The album I can't recommend either, because I only know two of the songs. The album containing most of the popular songs is called "Alles ist gut", maybe it's better to wait for that one to arrive on iTunes.

Wow. Do they have VNV Nation as well? Their

is my favorite electro anthem for a couple of years already. Still gives me goosebumps

Thanks, I'll check these all out!

 

I just remembered another song I liked from KMFDM, which was called "KMFDM sucks". There's several videos with the song on Youtube, but I'm missing the particular version I remember, which AFAIR had cleaner electronics and sounded less metal. It has funny lyrics like "KMFDM forward the ultimate sound - and a message from Satan if you turn it around"

where I first saw the video for Megalomanic.

 

Weird. I was watching this last night, but now it says "This video has been removed due to terms of use violation."

 

 

Wow, there's Nina Hagen singing on that one

That's a bummer, glad I had this.

 

Hadn't heard of her, interesting person. They've got some of her stuff in iTunes, I'll check it out.
