stereo total: heroes/mary mary so contrary

Stereo Total, the French-German couple from Berlin -- oscillating between essential punk rock, disco, electro garage chanson, and genius dilettantism -- cover two essential jewels in music history. David Bowie's everlasting "Heroes" and Can's catchy "Mary, Mary, So Contrary," first sung by Françoise Cactus, the other by Brezel Göring; they let the originals retain their unique magic and garnish them with Stereo Total's no-one-sounds-like-this bittersweet charm.
