''Jupiterianische Schwingungen'', ''Ein Mensch im Kopf'' and ''Der Stamm Kains'' don't translate exactly to their original titles, ''Jupiterianische Schwingungen'' literally translates to ''Jupiterian Vibes'' (plural, as opposed to singular in the original), ''Ein Mensch im Kopf'' literally translates to ''A Man In The Head'' (lacking the personal pronoun), ''Der Stamm Kains'' literally translates to ''Tribe of Cain'' (singular, as opposed to plural in the original).
