THE EKSTASY HOME PAGE

The "mother of punk," Nina Hagen, has her own cyberhome. Pleasing, but not surprising. A few sound-scraps are left on the appetizer tray for aural sampling, but not many. Aside from the biography and merchandise links, a Nina picture catalog shows the many faces of the punk goddess hitting painfully high notes. The lyric menu is somewhat flaky -- some of the links do not actually go anywhere except to the dreaded 404 zone. Yet, no complaint can be greater than of the intense background patterns. The chipped-paint diva site is intended well, but then, you know what they say about good intentions.
