Futura was designed between 1928-32 in Weimar Germany by Paul Renner, an advocate of the teaching of the Bauhaus school of design. One of the first systematically designed sans serif style typefaces, it is still widely used today.

I am attempting to get it on my system now but apparently they have a problem on their end of the link. So for those of you who are using Bear Share, I should be there before too long, if it will work with my system. In the mean time, my server at ftp://24.7.251.51 is up and running - I have Kraftwerk and other music available, and am trying to improve my selection. Anonymous downloads will work just fine. If you have something that I don't and would like to upload it, the username kraftwerk and the password kraftwerk will give you upload access (there is no upload access permitted for anonymous FTP). This has not been tested to this point, however, so if someone would please attempt an upload and let me know, I would appreciate it.

Unimaginitive, boring, the same few chord progressions used in every song. Embarassing to even mention in the same breath as Kraftwerk. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.... After d'loading a few tunes from this band, I must say that their song "He Took Her To A Movie" has some undeniable similarities to "The Model" and "Neon Lights", and you don't have to listen too close either. In fact, is a mix of those two songs only with different lyrics sung by a chic. If you don't hear Kraftwerk there, take your speakers to the cleaners.

For me KitKat sounds phonetically very similar to KlingKlang! I wouldn't be surprised that this had unconciously influenced the people who had to choose the tune for the ad, Kraftwerk fans, BTW!
