STEINKIND

“Es Wird Zeit” is the second single from the last Steinkind-album “Etappe 011”, also released in 2011. Like any good EP, the track is exposed to some serious remixing. People who know the first Steinkind-release, “Deutschland Brennt”, will be a bit surprised by the “‘new” sound of Steinkind. The music is more mainstream, less aggressive … The normal 3 minute-version is followed by the “Extended Club Edit”, that has a more pronounced beat, but the general sound is still quite easy. “The Hartung & Schleinitz Remix” has a trancy/dance twist, the "KRTECH"-version tends to electro-punk. The last version (and to me by far the worst, sorry!) is the “Da Pill & DJ Sacrifice Remix” … or how to turn a nice electropop-track into a f*cking bad hardstyle / hardcore heap of sh*t. My finger is on the button, the skip-button!.

Besides the title-track and the obligate remixes, we get 2 bonus-tracks. I have the idea that they are more of a gimmick than real release stuff, but it’s very funny to hear the 2 extra’s (“Weil wir fressen” and “Heidi”). A nice add to a nice album, this EP. Just one awful mistake … Oh well!
