"Therapie" is already the second single release from the masterpiece "Menstruation in Stereo" (rated 9 out of 10 by me http://www.ramtatta.de/s/reviews/f/details/id/8191 this spring) by the Berlin punk quintet FRAU HANSMANN. Why didn’t I receive the first single? Never mind.....
Actually, I’m not a fan of remix E.P.s, a song by various artists twisted through the meat grinder in their own style usually doesn’t impress me. Of course, there’s occasionally a cover song that can earn both thumbs up or is even better than the original, but generally, the cover versions are not worth much. Unfortunately, this is also the case with this E.P. 50% of the time, as the 5-track single starts off quite hopefully with the "Radio Edit" mix by FRAU HANSMANN. The TOMAS-TULPE remix is already a bit bolder.... Here, the vocals by Emilie Krawall are really put through the aforementioned meat grinder and layered with Tomas-Tulpe electro beats.
However, the best version comes from INWIEFERN... It hits hard and reminds me in the chorus of "Sekt oder Selters" by an old band from Düsseldorf... Awesome!
With the fourth "Therapie" RMX version by INKASSO in a techno version, I just can’t get along at all.
Good that the E.P. ends with a better Je t'aime-HUMMEL remix; this mix is again just okay.... nice, but by far not as good as the cover version by INWIEFERN, but also not as garbage as the INKASSO remix.
After 10 minutes, the fun is already over, and the musical conclusion is:
1x awesome hit
1x good
2x satisfactory
1x terrible
