Ordered Cover C. Super excited for the film, the book part and the bonus material. Especially the audio commentary.

What a stacked release this is! To me this is already a favorite of the year.

I just checked, and these are in English with German subs that can be hidden:

- Interviews with Klaus Maeck*, Volker Schäfer, and Ralf Goldkind
- Q&A with Klaus Maeck and Genesis P-Orridge*

The rest is in German, except for this that is in Italian with German subs:

- Featurette "Decoder Collective Milano"*

No English subs on all extras.
