@crazyredcoat for me it was more or less a necessity to learn English early on. Thanks to cartoons. When we got cable TV in the mid 80ies and we got Sky Channel an with it the Sunday morning cartoons (and later the DJ Cat show in the afternoons)

So if I wanted to watch Mask, Transformers, Jason and the Wheeled Warriors, StarCom, Bravestarr and everything else and understand what’s going on I needed to catch on. And since English is almost everywhere there never was a lack of practice.

Same goes for reading Dutch. They also came  with cable TV and most of the foreign show only have subtitles… so my mind needed to go from German to Dutch (subtitle) via English (audio)

@blinky465 I took a look at that album when they published the long announcement… I barely know 5 of the artists by name. And definitely only could tell 3 or 4 that I actually heard… Most of the teased covers don’t really sell it to me…
