[Blendwerk]

Ich fühle mich so seltsam.

[ormfdmrush]

Die wirklichkeit kommt

[eiffe]

Cause we actually dig that, I don't want to play for always the same 20,000 underground people, because I think it's more important, for it's a good record, right,

that it's available everywhere, like in every record shop.

RG: I don't have anything against many people or so [laughs].

GD: It's really a stupid concept, this old hippie-like question: Are you doing progressive or commercial music? Are you doing good music or are you just a flash in the pan?

[eiffe]

Here you go English speaking lads:

GD: We got to know each other and founded DAF with the strong intention to be able to make a living of our music.

To Live on music very well, actually. Also with the aspiration to be a band for the masses, not for some elite underground.

[AppleVannie]

thanks alot! They got an interesting view on things.

did you also translate the last part? I can only understand bits of it..

[soacker25]

Hammer :D ....also so ältere... so unerregend...

Genauso isses, kranke Gedanken abschalten und einfach abgehen!!

"Also with the aspiration to be a band for the masses, not for some elite underground".

I like that.

[science454]

A belated thankyou from me.

[sophiajones]

thanks for the translation.. but flush in the pan? id rather translate "mode" to vogue!

[eiffe]

It was set to be like this from the start. That's why we had our first record contacts to CBS, EMI and so on and not to ... and ZigZag.

Reporter: But your first record doesn't really seem to be made for the masses.

GD: That's right, but I'm not talking about mass entertainment, I'm just saying that the album is supposed to have a massive distribution.

[garcibus]

aber alles ist ganz klar!... you don't need to be german to dig DAF...
