Hello once again


I have fixed song 4 on part 1 so ir unzips as a file and not blank..

I had to open up the zip and change the file name to Fur Cat instead of using those . . above the u .
Maybe since i'm using a computer with english in USA it didn't understand the u that way...

Now if i can only get track 5 to play right..half way through it sounds like it's speeded up and plays like it's in fast motion..

Does it work fine for you

also can you let me know if anyone else is having trouble with this .rar file.

Thanks

I have the same problem with Nr. 5, sems to be the best one, a 19 min. opus but it is dameged, the CD from where it was ripped was the problem ... lets see , we wait.

I had the same problem with that Liesels Jahres track as the person above. It seems like a corrupted file. The other tracks play fine. I must admit I was rather confused about the two parts, but I'm assuming it was a double LP and the photo only shows one part. This is fun music to listen to for curiosity, but I think I would also give it only 2 stars. The fake Latin stuff is pretty cheesy and the English singing is a little embarassing. I love hearing this rare music though, even if only for one spin!

I really enjoyed this one--thanks. The star (or lp's) system in Pokoraa's books, however, refers to the rarity of the record not the quality.

I bought this lp yesterday for 2 euros, it's amazing.
I did not know this band and I love it.

I'm also desperate for a working copy of the last track (side B) of the second Kaarst album... it is definitely not just you having trouble playing it, the file is from a dodgy cd burn of a vinyl rip. I know that sound well... :-(
