But before I gave it up, I compared Techno Pop and what I found doesn't quite match what you've got. The only difference I could find with Electric Cafe is German overlaps the opening 8 beeps of Telephone Call over the fade-out, whereas English Electric Cafe fades out without the beeps. Is that the difference you are referring to? Because I could not detect any other difference. This difference also makes English Telephone Call a bit longer since the opening beeps are now there instead of on top of the previous track's fade-out. There's some more overlap/cross-fading in the German Techno Pop/Music Non Stop transition, too. The English version's more leisurely approach from one track to the next makes the entire album some 40 seconds longer than the German.
Radioactivity has me confused... I've been reading that Der Katalog CD version mistakenly has the English Radioactivity so I assume you must have used digital download or vinyl (or blu rays?) for your comparisons. I thought the title track was the ONLY one with differences. If I'm reading it right, you're saying that there are now 6 additional tracks from Radioactivity that are different between the two sets?
ok, you are absolutely right.
--------------------------------------
1 tracks are taken from the 8cd german and 8cd english sets
2 radioactivity is the ONLY track that is different in german and english
3 the german CD set has the wrong track on the album version, the mix version in german is correct.
the ONLY difference between the german release of the actual radioactivity albums and the english is the track titles,
both have english and german samples and vocals throughout the different tracks.
iv'e gone back and corrected my post, thanks for pointing that out.
later
