Well, I'm an American and entdekte Tocotronic when I was studying in Freiburg a couple of years. I could not explain exactly why I like so much Tocos, but no matter. The lyrics are great - easy to understand but also sinnvoll-- Digital is better is clearly awesome - melanchoelisch but not sad, easy to understand but hard to explain. For foreigners Tocotronic the perfect Einsteigergrueppe to German music
