I mentioned Einstürzende Neubauten potentially producing “Wunderbar” by Christiane F. in the last post. In actuality “Wunderbar” was recorded for Posh Boy records here in the states, with Christiane apparently having no say in the outcome. Unhappy with the results after its release, she re-recorded it under the moniker Christiana with Neubauten’s F. M. Einheit and Alexander von Borsig (Alexander Hacke) as producers. This version named “Süchtig” released on the Final Church 12″ is noticably more Industrial and NDW sounding, with the B side having the dub version of “Süchtig” named “Health Dub.” Final Church is obviously another very hard to find and rare release, meriting the sale price of 50 Euros ($68 USD) as listed on Discogs.

Both versions of “Wunderbar” were released in 2003, subsequent to the success of the US version at the Robert Johnson Club in Offenbach. Personally, I still like “Wunderbar” better.
