Breezy Germaican dancehall

"Seeed is a Berlin dancehall-reggae group (about half Jamaican Germans and half white Germans) making some very fun music. Some parts are in German, some in Jamaican-accented English, and some pretty unintelligible Jamaican dialect, but all are a blast to dance to, and some are extremely funny. None quite lives up to the sublime single "Aufstehen!" which is on the album, sung with American Cee-Lo Green, but that is a very special song, the kind that lifts your heart and your feet, makes you crank up the volume, open the windows, and slow the car down to a crawl. Other fine tracks are "Slowlfe," "Ding," and "Schwinger." I have the version I bought in Germany, which is what I'm reviewing, slightly different from the more affordable export version, but I imagine either would be worth having."
