Abstract: A method to calculate matrix representations of the twist element $ff$ of Drinfel'd -- chosen to be unitary -- is given and illustrated at some examples. It is observed that for these F-matrices the crystal limit $q!o!0$ exists and that mbox{F-matrices} twisting from $0$ to $q$ are of a simpler form than F-matrices twisting from $1$ to $q$. These results lead to a new interpretation of $q$-deformation in terms of tensor products of finite-dimensional representations of compact simple Lie groups.
