Minimalist club disco, with "Der Kommissar" becoming a minor hit, although I prefer
the atmospheric "Zuviel Hitze" and weird vocalizations of "Auf der Flucht". An English version of "Der Kommissar"
was recorded by the band After the Fire -- one part I found cute was how the "two, three, four"
part of the German version was changed to "zwei, drei, vier" in the English version. :-)
