Me too. There's some exiting news from one of its members, Trey Gunn. The Trey Gunn Band will release "The Joy Of Molybdenum" (DGM0001 available mail-order from February 1, and in stores in March) an album of power grooves, stretches of beautiful landscapes, tightly composed pieces, earth shaking primal drumming overlayed with transparent textures and highly refined melodies. I found this through reading Trey's road diary. Here was one of his comments about his work... Have spent the good part of this week working on "The Joy of Molybdenum." I'm very pleased with what has come out of this! It has every bit of the character I was hoping for from the beginning: crazy percussion, weird melodies, strange chords, yet grooving like mad. It is a sort of "James Brown meets Space Boy in a cocktail bar in South Africa" feel to it. Damn!

I think so, the Digipack was a ltd release. It's listed at www.bigbag.de but I really doubt they can still have it.

Regarding the KW Top Of The Pops performance they wrote, that this is the first time on German TV since 1971 (which is of course nonsense) and even more amusing they wrote that KW consists of Ralf, Florian, Karl Bartof (sic!) & Wolfgang Fluer. I don't know who's responsible for this but he seems to know quite a lot about the band.... ;-) Regarding the new robots: I thought this was quite amusing. There was this rumour that KW would perform on Wetten Dass - well I think, when there was really planned something like that, German TV station ZDF maybe didn't like the idea of presenting just four robots in the most successful European Prime Time show. I don't think that KW have ever planned to do something else than letting perform the robots. Just a thought... On another subject I just came back from a record fair, where someone sold (or should I say: he tried to sell) the EXPO ltd.edition for the bargain price of only 359.- DM (one should remember that it was sold at Karstadt for 100.- DM ). When I told him that this item is still available at Karstadt online, he told me that this is no longer the case - according to him the record has now sold out. I havn't checked out whether that's true but even if it's true: I already thought 100.- DM was kind of a rip-off....

I just only hear of "TranceMode Express 101", a compilation issued by Hypnotic. There's another Various Artists sampler CD entitled "Enter The Mix (Depeche Mode/Kraftwerk)" (release date: 21.06.1999) which it's described as "a tribute sampler for Depeche Mode and Kraftwerk, similar to the Trancemode Express samplers".
