"lil' beethoven", while critically acclaimed, did not chart inside the top 100 in the uk, germany or the us. it was released in a limited edition which had hard-cover book binding. the album was promoted by the single "suburban homeboy": it, too, did not chart. the single was backed two b-sides, an extended version of "suburban homeboy" ("suburban homeboy (extended "ron speaks" version)") and "wunderbar (concerto in koch minor)", which samples the voice of german sports commentator günther koch.
