Joining the dots between German electronic experimentalists such as Cluster, Conrad Schnitzler, Tangerine Dream, the synth-core/minimal-wave of Germany’s electronic new wave such as D.A.F. (itself influenced by UK groups Cabaret Voltaire, Human League and The Normal) and with hints of the cosmic disco of Giorgio Moroder and Daniel Baldelli, Cologne’s E.M.A.K. remain one of electronic music’s best-kept secrets.
E.M.A.K. are the German studio geniuses Mathias Becker and Kurt Mill, with additional contributions from Klaus Stühlen. Working throughout the 80s under the name E.M.A.K. these three artists are now seen as providing an evolutionary link between the kosmische pioneers of 70′s Germany (Cluster, Conrad Schnitzler, Tangerine Dream et al) and later, more minimal synth-wave and industrial acts like D.A.F. as well as Baldelli-approved space-disco practitioners. The bedrock of the group’s legacy is the trilogy of self-titled albums, EMAK 1 (1982), EMAK 2 (1983) and EMAK 3 (1985); all three are rife with soaring melodies and pretty sequences, but in the main Becker and his cohorts reject pastoral drift in favour of linear, pulsating attacks that are undeniably proto-techno, standing comparison with Monoton’s more austere records of the same era.

Never cost us more champagne di Leila K.
Slow motion in the way to all de pears a summerbreeze
Quinty's got the mic, mi-a Leila K, super trooper oman-a
Sambo-tall is their elector, and that's official: star
Long time noh seen that colored people won't get up
Get up and let di party begin
Pass di microphone, let me fling a little ting, yes
Mi super, mi super on di vibration
And me fly up on the stage, like mi super oman-a
Donwise and in a slower motion
Lady K-a bring da beat for colored people of this town
Inside your body move galaxic work
Slow Motion
Nobody call for kali
Slow Motion
Slow Motion
Now in each and every crowd the muffle fling a rub-a-dub
Making music like an afro-maniac or like a droid
Hypnotizing people like a star shine bright
With the early-in-the-morning noise, late at night
Warm up your body like a new pull-over
If you want we call the lot and call the call it fully improper
Reggae every day can call di world over
U see reggae every day can call di world over
Inside your body move galaxic work
Slow Motion
Nobody call for kali
Long time noh seen that colored people won't get up
So mi haffi bring damn water, Fiko fill up all di cup
Get up and let di party begin
Pass di microphone, let me fling a little ting, yes
Mi super, mi super on di vibration
And me fly up on the stage, like mi super oman-a
Donwise and in a slower motion
Lady K-a bring da beat for colored people of this town

That is funny - I do not know what was used as a source here - but on my vinyl copy from the 1-3 boxset the stereo imaging of this song is completely switched - as if the OP has a L/R mixup somewhere in his setup. There are often different stereo mixes of songs spread on all the various copies - but this one was new to me... :D
Great music anyhow...no matter whose stereo setup may be wrong ;)
