Like Moby's Play, this obscure gem is destined to work it's way into the mainstream. The inclusion of Showroom Dummies on the Y Tu Mama Tambien soundtrack has hooked in the loft dwelling, taste makers of Tribeca. Next stop, Volkswagon commercials? Maybe the new Mini.
Get this wonderful reinterpretation of Kraftwerk's music and join in the conga line.

Autobahn goes south of the border, March 21, 2001
Reviewer: Enrique E. Torres "Rico" (San Diegotitlan, Califas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
The first thing one notices is the obvious, the cover would make one think , "this is a joke , right?" The chessy, circa 1950's outfits and and not so latino looking conjunto would make even Wierd Al snicker. What is this, a Neo-Devo band or sons of Neo-Nazi's coming out of hiding in Latin America, returning to their German roots? Surpsingly this a fresh interpretation of the Godfathers of techno, Kraftwerk. The reworking of such classic songs as "Autobahn",""TransEurope Express"and "The Robots" is genius, it sounds familiar but totally different. At first I was skeptical. Cumbias and Cha Cha dance rhythms replacing the original icy-tech beats and sounds seemed inpossible. It is very cool though, the use of vibes, percussion and latin rhythms is a perfect fit, a smorgasborg of sounds that are layered and textured to perfection. It is an unbelieveably solid effort, no easy task yet accomplished with style. Included is Falco's international dance hit"Tour de France", complete with the feel of the race with a latin beat. This is a fun album that your friends will ask "who was that." Whether you were a fan of Kraftwerk or not this new CD is unique and stays close enough to the original Kraftwerk songs but pushes the envelope a little further into the realm of dance world music redefined.

Senor Coconut... the best... and it's from my country!, February 12, 2003
Reviewer: Yazir (Osorno, Chile) - See all my reviews
[...]i'm from chile and since a couple of month i had never heard about Uwe Schmidt (Senor Coconut). I started listening to him and then someone told me that he lived in Santiago, Chile. I bought the record inmediatly (i'm a big Kraftwerk fan). The cd is awesome. Here in chile we do not listen to salsa or rumba or cha cha cha.. that's in the center of america. Here people listen other stuff. This guy is a german person, he married a chilean woman and came to live here. this is a pretty famous guy, but nobody knows him here. it's funny. he started to make this kraftwerk covers, and made an imaginary band "Senor Coconut y su Conjunto". This "conjunto" do not exist. this is only Uwe Schmidt making music here in chile.... well i hope now you know a little bit more about Senor Coconut... [...]!

JUST EXCELLENT..., February 6, 2003
Reviewer: Mark Norvell (HOUSTON) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
Fantastic homage to Kraftwerk by Senor Coconut Y Su Conjunto. Wonderful blend of Latin rythym and electronic music that puts me in a trance. It can be played loud or soft and still work. My favorite picks are "Showroom Dummies" and "Neon Lights". I just love it and will keep an eye on this talented group. Highly recommended. Very highly.… (mais)
