This is the reissue of the classic debut of the "hate'em / love'em (no in-between)" witted toy doll fetichist bimbo duo. Including 6 tracks (rougher sound) prior to the 1994 album, only available in Japan until this 2007 reedition.Back in 1997 I heard on radio a version of "Trouble" with french lyrics. Although I've tried, I am unable to identify the interpreter since. Let's draw the context. I was on an island. Subject to seasickness, I've puke throughout the voyage. When the airplayed song came to my ears, I was waiting for the boat supposed to bring me back to civilisation. Miraculously saved of the threatening plan the rough islanders had for me (sleeping right there, at their home! no thanks : I've seen Deliverance!) if I didn't solve their technical problem before the last shuttle. Indeed, if the boat cancelled the voyage I was in deep deep trouble ("oh oh, j'ai des emmerdes!"). Perhaps the song was the projection of my twiste psyché. Perhaps it was no island at all. It was the twilight zone.
Anyhow, if someone know who's covered "Trouble" in french I'm buying it.

I've been looking for this for *ages*! Ever since I read a brilliant comic called Phonogram... Thanks!
I seem to remember 'Trouble' being adapted for school bus chants for about two years when this was out.
