Naïve is Industrial rock group KMFDM’s fifth album, released in 1990. It is out of print due to copyright infringement: the seventh track, “Liebeslied”, used unauthorized samples from a recording of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. A common misbelief is that the album was pulled immediately after its release; in actuality, it had been out for three years before it was recalled. Copies today are rare and considered collector’s items, often fetching high prices at auction. The album was recorded in Hamburg, Germany.

All of the other tracks on the album, except for the original mixes of “Die Now-Live Later” and “Go to Hell” were subsequently available on other discs. The album was re-released as Naïve/Hell to Go, with some songs remixed, in 1994.

A digitally remastered reissue of Naïve was released on November 21, 2006, along with Money and Angst. It was reissued with an edited version of the track “Liebeslied” without the offending sample. It also features the remixes that initially appeared on 1994’s Naïve/Hell To Go album.

The remastered version of “Liebeslied”, according to the CD booklet, is “Different from the original only in that the ‘O Fortuna’ samples have been removed. No other elements of the song have been altered”. However, if you compare the original version to the reissued edit, the original is around 30 seconds longer. This is due to the sections of the song where the ‘O Fortuna’ samples should be being shortened.

Also, if you listen very carefully to the reissued version of Liebeslied, you can just about hear the reminants of the ‘O Fortuna’ sample, just before the first chorus (around the 1:10 mark).
