Thus, most of the music sounds very much like video games. No video game companies picked up on the tracks, but several tracks wound up, in more refined form, on the RDJ album. I don't know the files were originally leaked and I don't know how many actual copies there are out there. Mike Paradinas has one... (he mentions it at http://www.furious.com/perfect/uziq.html). The unreleased Analogue Bubblebath 5 can also be found with relative ease on the Internet.

Yeah, great stuff. They managed to get on 'Top of the Pops' (BBC TV) playing their version of 'Rock Around the Clock': the singer sat reading a newspaper throughout! Someone emailed me just the other day about their 'Moskow Diskow" song; he mistook it for a Kraftwerk song, which is perhaps understandable. The album from which this comes, 'Looking for Saint Tropez', should appeal to many KW fans, if they can find it. Juhana Sadeharju wrote: > BTW, where this list is archived?

If I'm not mistaken I'm sure that Telex laways used the big Roland 100m modular. I have a promo picture of them with it. This of course doesn't detract from the irony of writing a song about appearing on the Eurovision song contest for the contest. They also do a song called Tour De France-about a belgina male harassing an english woman-very funny. ______________________________________________________ =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Paul Martland e.mail:paul_martland@yahoo.co.uk ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Not such an exclusive performance after all. The robots slowly moving with those suits on. The heads are pretty life-like these days. The EXPO2000 version is the regular radio edit, not the poppy EXPO2002 as I had expected. Rick Jansen Rick Jansen wrote: > > Kraftwerk is listed as one of the bands for TOTP2 > Wednesday evening BBC.

As in past years, they arthritically raised their arms and twitched their heads (only this time wearing the neon jimjams first sported at 'Tribal Gathering'). Hmm, the robot of Dorian Gray? Initially I thought, this is bad. But gradually... no, you have to admire it. KW's attitude is: we are right; this is how we do things, this is the way, so f--- you. Really quite rock 'n' roll after all! I may even buy the single, how about that. ;-D Kevin # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info kraftwerk" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email kraftwerk@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Other questions?

A specially recorded Expo2000 studio performance with various witticisms courtesy of Steve Wright (he took the piss, basically). TOTP2 usually gets a repeat on BBC2 the following Saturday about 5pm if you fancy checking it out. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info kraftwerk" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email kraftwerk@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Other questions?
