Help identifying "legit" album

after (unashamedly) downloading the album and loving it, well, you know, i loved it enough to buy it, so off i went trying to find it... well, my first attempt came up with a total bootleg (disc is CDR, but the obvious thing is that the audio has the 16-to-17kHz cutoff, the third is that it had more tracks than the downloaded version). didn't ABX it, but i'm sure it was lossy-compressed before being burned...

2nd time was the charm in this case. however, while i was waiting for it, people i hang out with on IRC were musing that the bootleg (combination of tatu and rammstein) could be from mp3 sources, too. so, i throw this one thru a frequency analyzer and see something a bit similar, but not so obvious... a (more graceful) rolloff around 21kHz. i'm assuming the audio at the beginning came from a porno downloaded off the internet (or at least the shuddering breaths)? rolls off pretty harshly at 16khz...

but as for the rest... any clues as to if this is "legit" (or as legit as it gets)? source of CD is (heh) russia...

well, no idea if they did something together, the whole thing could be flicked together theoretically (but I don't really know the songs or if that are really two different songs, but theoretically...)
The german speaking in the beginning sounds rather stupid, could be from a porn, but must have been a rather bad one or just homerecording. This is likely from a lossy file but this doesn't really mean anything.
A rolloff at about 21kHz is something normal but there seems to be something above 21kHz (at least in audacity), above the rolloff that is going down to -75db at 21500 it goes up again to -48, which seems strange to me.
And I think I can hear artifacts similar to lossy compression, especially when the girl is singing, before the beats and the guitars start.

All that is no proof for anything but Rammstein is usually very professional produced and this doesn't look like that, at least to me after a short glance.
So this could easily be a non-legit home-mix or something the like (at least I think so).

I have a cd with a set of files called-->
t.A.T.u. & Rammstein - Pruzhinki
01. Ist Das Gut! (XXX Mix)
02. Pruzhinki (Ping-Pong Mix)
03. Polchasa Bez Tebya (Very Sad Mix)
04. Odno I To Zhe (Long Repeat Mix)
05. Links 2 Dry 4 (Very Clear Mix)
06. Ein Kleiner Mensch (Small Grave Mix)
07. t.A.T.u. & Limp Bizkit - Ya Soshla (Bonus Track)
08. Trafik Solnca (Bonus Track)
09. t.A.T.u. & Clawfinger - My Skuchali (Bonus Track)

The cd cover is in russian (which I don't speak)
I think it might be a bootleg mix cd.

Cheers

yeah, it's a bootleg remix, but i'd almost have thought the remixer to own the CDs (or get them from a friend who owned them)

i just had a thought that maybe the DJ/remixer bought the tracks from AllOfMP3.com...
