Well in this week's NME they have featured a page which they say "Hears the snivelling excuses of electronica's sleeping giants and susses their chances of delivering their albums this year". Kraftwerk are the first band listed. This is what they printed Kraftwerk Last LP: Electric Cafe way back in 1986, Unless you count 1991's glorified Greatest Hits The MIX. Excuse: The usual excuse-That they're perfectionists who've been busy rebuilding their Kling Klang studio with state-of-the-art digital gear. Signs Of Life: Their triumphant Tribal Gathering appearance last year. Album Expected: Sometime late this year, according to Ralf Hutter. He may even be telling the truth-The Tribal Gathering set included one new track, with a further two cropping up at an Austrian show at the end of last year. Chances Of Arrival In 1998: 20-1 They went on to comment on the following artists; Unkle, Leftfield, Goldie, LTJ Bukem, Derrick May, LFO, My Bloody Valentine, Plastikman and Grooverider.

Actually, the problem with many mailing-lists on the net is that they're full of pathetic people : - who are so convinced that their own vision of the discussed topic is the only politically correct possible one, that they can't stand any critic / contradiction and qualify them immediately as "flame wars" or "stirring up shit", - who don't know that such things as discussion and debate exist, and who never make the effort to back every statement they post with at least one single fact - who are so ignorant and/or lazy that they don't take the time to browse the archives and always ask the same boring questions - who were born (or spoon-fed from childhood) with strong anti-french (or anti-german, or anti-european, or anti-something) feelings, and never miss a good opportunity to express those in public in order to get the feeling that they have a personnality - who think that every other list member is driven by similar motivations - whose cultural horizons don't go beyond "Beam me up, Scotty !" - who act on the net just like frustrated and tight-ass females act in their kitchen, spreading silly gossips about their neighbors behind their back... Jeeez ! Why am I wasting so much energy on that ????? The truth is that it's so quick and easy and gratifying to click the "send" button and post such things as "KW are the gods of techno", or "this is shit", or "Franzosen sind unterMenschen" (my own addition to the list of crappy stuff)... But it takes hours to deconstruct every such statement and put it in perspective... So sometimes, a little bit of humour / provocation / cynism helps, because it's quicker... Holy shit ! Why do I have to explain all of that ????? - ----------------------- And BTW, just to prove you how RUDE and MEAN I can be, in addition to the interviews of R&F I posted to this list a few months back (but it seems that some robots on this list have only a few bytes of memory), I'm happy to say that I finally found the time to scan all the pictures and reviews of KW I could find in magazines from the 70s. But since I'm too lazy to have a personal WEB page, I'll have to send the stuff to someone... And for those interested in Electronic Music history, and who like the nostalgic side of pictures used by KW in their videos, I also found a few B&W pictures from 1970 of Pierre Henry (one of the TRUE "fathers of electronic music", along with Stockhausen, Subotnick and several others) in his studio or on stage. This studio was at that time a mythical place among EM afficionados (decades before the KK studio) where this guy gathered all kind of custom-made gear by the Philips engineers (his record company back then), including synths (well, actually "sound generators") featuring not ICs, not transistors, but TUBES !!! The picture of him on stage concerns his experiments with the Corticalart in the early 70s, a machinery that allowed him to improvise live by driving his gear with his brainwaves... jbv # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info kraftwerk" in the message. # Postings must go to kraftwerk@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Jan 1998 09:36:43 -0500 From: J Talbert Subject: Re: (kw) Longing for New Album Eric Knight wrote: > >Hello Eric!! > >Hey, I remember WLBS!

(Or at least I'm in the top ten) Anyway, you should be able to find Computer World on CD at the following stores: - Best Buy (I've seen it in the Dearborn and Southfield locations) - Record Time (Roseville, on Gratiot North of I-696) - Harmony House (Berkley, on the west side of Woodward, north of 12 or 13 mile ) Harmony House in Berkeley even has the German Import CDs of Radioactivity, Man Machine, Computer World and Electric Cafe. Tres Cool stuff. HH will even do special orders. - Desirable Discs (Somewhere in Dearborn, but I don't know the location since they recently moved to a new building) - Media Play (Southfield in the Tel-12 Mall) # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info kraftwerk" in the message. # Postings must go to kraftwerk@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Jan 1998 09:54:03 -0500 (EST) From: "John B.

If you can make it here, just about any of the music stores in town usually have a pretty good Kraftwerk selection in stock, particularly Tower and Schoolkids. Schoolkids Records frequently has a lot of rarer KW stuff, too, like import versions and the Germanofon bootlegs. John Morgan "'One can't always be high.' Oh no?

Although I'm sure you could find it here in Ann Arbor, it just occurred to me that any decent music store should be able to order it for you.

Morgan" Subject: (kw) Kraftwerk rarities Last weekend I picked up a couple of unusual Kraftwerk LPs, and I was wondering if somebody on the list knew how rare they were. The first is a promotional version of COMPUTER WORLD, featuring just "Numbers" and "Computer World" on the first side, and "Computer Love" on the second. The album cover features the (poorly-drawn) faces of the Fantastic Four on both sides, with KRAFTWERK in English on one side and in Japanese on the other. The other thing was a copy of RALF AND FLORIAN. I'm fairly certain that it's an original US printing, as it says "Also available on Musicassette and 8-Track" on the back...terms which were pretty exclusive to the mid-70s! How many of these were printed? I also picked up a well-weathered original US LP release of AUTOBAHN a few months ago, but I imagine that these are pretty common. If anyone can tell me anything about these albums, it would be greatly appreciated. John Morgan "'One can't always be high.' Oh no?

Sounds like what we call a 12 inch single in the UK! Yes, I used the wrong term, sorry. I'm definitely of the CD generation and I seldom buy records, unless there's something unusual about them. But, my question about the rarity of the single remains...does anyone know? John Morgan "'One can't always be high.' Oh no?
