OK, I will! BTW, today I got my first ever fan mail for Pascal Bussy's 'Kraftwerk: Man, Machine and Music'. Some mistake, surely. I suppose it had to happen eventually! :-D "Sellafield 2 will produce..." (Audience nods off).

"spambot v1.0" wrote: > check www.sci.fi/~phinnweb/links/artists/lfo/ for sources. Just a quick note to let you know that the link you have in your page to = the article in Spanish on LFO, is a PLAGIARISM, since I wrote that text back = in 1995 and it was published in Das Kinetik Product magazine (n=BA 8, June 1= 995). You can see it online in http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Den/4983/lfo.html. To this end, I beg you to remove this link, please. If only this guy (Roberto Escribano), who put up the mentioned article without my permission, would have wrote my name at least... And to crown it all he did even sign the document. Thanks for your time to read this letter.

Some of you might be interested in taking a look at this, if only for the scan of the tastefully decorated Japanese edition of Pascal Bussy's book. http://web.bham.ac.uk/busbykg/kraftwerk/FAQ/further-information.html#book Thanks to Yoichiro Ogo for that scan and for various pieces of information. I note an interesting link on Yoichiro's web site: http://ww9.tiki.ne.jp/~houten3/ I can't read Japanese, but the MP3s are entertaining covers of Kraftwerk songs in a Japanese-Technopop style! Kevin PS Several other areas of the FAQ need to be updated.
