Kraftwerk to Release Eight Remastered Albums Under the Title 12345678
You can't really get more German than with an album title like 12345678 The Catalogue. "Acht Remastered Alben" ("Eight Remastered Albums," according to Google Translate) would probably run fairly close. "Ändern der Welt der Musik ein effizientes Album zu einer Zeit" ("Changing the world of music one efficient album at a time" - thanks again Google) would also be a contender. As you can see, coming up with German album titles is serious business. (Tiny Mixtapes)
