I don't think these guys had any desire to make this sound song "edgy and profound"; that's generally not what most electronica/down-tempo music is about, and maybe that's what you find "profoundly boring" about it.  Anyhow, drum machines have been used in music for over fifty years, they haven't been considered "edgy" in a long time.



Your opinion is always welcome, Proclivities

Kruder and Dorfmeister are always welcome either solo or in pairs or with others… yes.

As an aside. It has been some years since I gave up recreational drugs. This was a particular track I can associate with being, well, off my tits on occasion. Now on the other side, I am really pleased to note it has not lost an ounce (gram?) of its effect on my listening and dancing pleasure. 


Dorfmeister is such a dorfmeister

Besides the music , this album cover is really cool. Don't know what it would be like at higher resolution, but at this small size has some interesting things going on...

Tosca is one of my favorites. Just makes me feel good. It's not background music, it's turned up just right.

I like.

When MusicBee does not immediately bring up the album cover, I also know it is less well known act which immediately attracts my attention.

Your interpration OK, but not 101% correct!

"Tity-Buddy" (as would translate Busenfreund) is not
really describing an old friend, maybe not a
classical close "real" friend at all!

BUSENFREUND is more like an "actual Intimus", I'd say!

The band is completely unknown over here, by the way!
They might have some name in the electronic field, but even
this is doubtful! I wonder where Bill dug them up!

I find this type of music (Muzak, trance, porn soundtrack, Weather Channel filler, background, electronica, chill) to be relaxing and rather enjoyable.  I suppose that's all the proof one needs that I am growing old.

Google translates the title as "Breast friend", to which I will add ... nothing.
 
I think the figurative translation would be "bosom buddy", but that's not nearly as humorously evocative as what you provided, so I think I'll stick with yours! :)

You know RP is eclectic when you find yourself having to check whether or not you correctly picked the station.  It's a good thing.  This song is very different from most of what is played, but still very cool.
