Last month, I posted a list of my favorite new albums of 2006. In that post, I lamented my inability to link to an online review for Motorpsycho’s Black Hole/Blank Canvas. Since the album has not been released in the US, and might not be due to the band’s lack of an American distributor (I obtained my copy through a certain file-sharing network), I despaired of ever finding a review in English.

Finally, tired of waiting, I clicked on one of the many German-language reviews I found online, and decided to test out Google’s infamous “Translate this Page” feature. The mangled, computer-generated translation that spat out was chock full of individual nuggets of unintentional comedy gold. For example:

That is not called naturally under any circumstances quiet, instead the two let classical skirt cutlery speak and get a correct music steam roller from the garage, in addition, to calmer parts with mehrstimmigem singing the duo thought. Here the hut burns.

Insanity, as it breaks its neck with “in Our Tree”. Among them: Sound volume in perfection.

Dreamed and far “Sancho Says” floats in, in order to likewise screw itself into a kind intoxication, which remains clearly gentler however

That is not to mean however that the Motorpsychos can be mutated the second part of the album back-lean and to pure Shoegazern.

Hey, it makes at least as much sense as your average Pitchfork review.
