Melotron's second single from their Mörderwerk CD is Der Blaeu Planet.  Along with the three mixes of the title track, we also find two additional / b-side tracks.  Of the trio of mixes, the Antiimperialistischerschutzmix is the best.  Whereas the other two mixes, the Radio ver. and the Lange ver., are simply shorter and longer versions of the album track, the third mix is quite different.  Clocking in at just over 8 minutes, this mix incorporates a more ambient techno sound to the original.  The rhythmic elements of the original are the driving force behind this mix, leaving the beats and vocals to play secondary roles.  Of all of the Melotron mixes I've heard of late, this strikes me at the most diverse.  Auf Der Suche has And One written all over it.  Not that it's necessarily a bad thing, just so long as they don't try to emulate And One on every track they record.  The final track, Neubrandenburg, is an instrumental piece reminiscent of carousel music with an added beat.  Weaving in and out of this track are these really odd and kind of creepy sounds that make me think of robotic crickets.  Melotron has this style that is nearly impossible to describe without using the same terms over and over again (those ' terms' being synth-pop and electro.)  It's a nice unison of sounds that rarely works well together, but Melotron manage to pull it off very well.
