Difference between the German music and the Original?

[LazyGary]

OK, so I downloaded and am listening to the German LazyTown CDs (just the Karaoke versions - not the language singing), and it's awesome!
But it sounds slightly different to me in certain places?
Is it just me or are there subtle differences as if this music was mixed seperately to the originals that I am already used to?

A few of the songs were extended because the German's wanted each song to be at least 2 minutes long. I feel like they have more bass to them as well.

What I noticed is slightly different synthesizer sounds, as if somebody else had taken the music that Mani composed and played it on their own equipment.
Still sounds very well done, but definitely different.
Anyway, just a curiosity. Maybe somebody who has access to the CD covers can compare the actual credits and see if they are different.

Hmm, that doesn't help much. Thanks for looking. I'll have to do some more experiments!

They did similar stuff to animes, first time I watched Digimon on RTL, the music sounded different, you can't say they are not editing or rewriting the songs. Probably they did but giving all credit to Mani.

I suppose it is possible that Mani himself also re-recorded the music for technical reasons.

Did someone here understand the lyrics in german, because you are talking about the sound only.

I always thought that German Steph was pretty good. Nothing beats Icelandic, but I have no issues.

Old Turkish voice was the best. Listen to spooky song and you'll see. Turkish dub is probably the best or second best (not counting Icelandic as dub)
