My German is a bit rusty after 5 years in England, but this should be a reasonably accurate (but not word-for word as some things are idiomatic) translation
( ... )
Just realised one other 'translation error' "Industrial Bitch (Ich) will tanzen" translates rather to "Industrial Bitch wants to dance" I always forget to translate the German "will" to "wants to". It's an easy mistake for English speakers to make.
Also I translated this sentence badly: [In the trend of the day] and certainly not remarkable DOS [points toward the dance floor?] -- Better translated: DOS (not surprisingly) directs (one) gently but firmly toward the dance floor.
(I would have edited the original directly, but it looks like I can't now that it's been replied to)
This bit:What saves this album from the deepest depths of the EBM sewer is the inclination toward the bizarre. A constant beat underlies everything contrasting with the themes Uberbyte is presenting.
Should read: What saves this album from the deepest depths of the EBM sewer is the inclination toward the bizarre. Always one step stranger/weirder than the competition could be the defining theme of Uberbyte.
Maybe I shouldn't try to do speed translations. :-)
