I have been attending for the last ten years and I would love to see Kraftwerk on the main stage. On the 'Glastonbury' website you can vote for the bands you would most like to see this year. Kraftwerk are on the list but they only have 6 votes (all mine). Please can you all follow the link below and vote for Kraftwerk ? http://www.glastonbury-festival.co.uk/cgi-bin/vote.pl You can only vote once because it blocks your IP address after you vote. I don't know how much the vote will really apply but, its worth a shot and Kraftwerk deserve more than six votes.

I'd say it's wonderful! (But I guessed that after all the negative reviews.) Even the fast version is good, though "mix" is the wrong word for something that different - I guess KW didn't want to disrupt the tracklistings monotony :) The fact that the fast version uses this bit of percussion that sounds vaguely like a cut-off high-pitch trumpet burst, alternatingly one and two beats, straight from Musique non stop, is amusing. This whole CD is certainly not boring (having listened to it for two days straight now, I should know). However, I remembered the review that said "the boredom has now been extended from 6 seconds to 6 minutes" -- I'd say that if you can get bored with _6_seconds_ of music, you probably ought to consider suicide. # 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?

They are still mastered from vinyl, although much cleaner vinyl than the other bootleg version with bonus tracks. Perhaps whoever mastered it used some software to clean up any hiss or pops. As far as I know, KW owns the rights to all of their material. I've never heard otherwise. Maybe someone else on the list could help confirm this? (Klaus perhaps?) At first, I bought "Kraftwerk 2" with the bonus track, and the sound quality was very poor. Plus, the booklet artwork consisted of the traffic cone turned backwards and forewards!

Subject: (kw) Theories Date: 03 Feb 2000 12:20:31 GMT Apparently, KW renewed the song copyrights for the first three albums as well. I do periodic checking of ASCAP's database; a while ago the old songs weren't listed. So I'm guessing that after the new publishing deal was arranged with Sony, the old songs were finally re-published. http://www.ascap.com (When you get to the site, click on the above link that says "ACE On The Web") Now as I mentioned before about Tower Records listing the first three albums available for "pre-sale" (they have a release date of Feb. 7); I'm hoping that these will finally be official reissues. I mean, why would KW choose not to reissue the old albums, but then decide on renewing the song copyrights ? It doesn't make sense money wise, because hardly anyone plays them on the radio as it is; if anyone does, they won't play the pre-Autobahn material. So KW isn't getting airplay royalties from the old material; since the bootleggers are out there, they're definitely not getting any mech royalties either. So the question still remains; why waste the time republishing the songs ? They have to reissue the albums or else it just doesn't make sense. Maybe I'm reading into it too hard. :-) - Josh ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com # 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?

Date: 03 Feb 2000 11:14:02 -0500 (EST) Speaking of reissues of Kraftwerk's early albums, I recently found something odd at my local Tower here in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In with the official releases was a copy of "Kraftwerk." The cover was identical to that of the first album, except that the traffic cone was green (like on KW2) instead of red. I own the Germanofon version and this was definitely not it. It was issued from someplace in Italy, from a Swedish distributor! There was no other indication of the album's contents, and as it carried a $30 price tag I wasn't curious enough to purchase it, figuring that it's probably just another "bootleg" of KW1 or KW2. The discovery was a bit odd, however, as Tower is not usually in the habit of carrying bootlegs. Does anybody know for certain what's on it, and if it is a boot of one of the early albums, how is the sound quality? ******************************************************************************* John Morgan "I must invent my own system, or be Student Services, enslaved by another man's."

Thanks Kevin for the info. I'll correct my original post and add some more info. Aviador Dro used this term for the first time in the media in a radio interview in october 1979. They explain they invented this when they heard about the sci-fi rock festival (that was a concert held at the Queen's Hall in Leeds, on 8/9/1979, with Joy Division, Cabaret Voltaire, OMD, etc) and thought this was good to describe Aviador Dro's style, except for the fact that when translated to Spanish didn't sound as good: rock de ciencia ficcion. So they came up with the term "tecno" or "tecnopop".

Date: 03 Feb 2000 18:21:33 GMT There are definitely at least 2 versions of the 1 & 2 "bootlegs" - I'd noticed different ones hanging around different shops. As I recall, some have the bollard in big, covering most of the back cover, with a small tracklisting, and some have a large tracklisting, with times & everything, and a little bollard. Absolutely fascinating, I'm sure you'll agree. On the subject of which, where does the information that they're bootlegs actually come from - because if so (and the same goes for Concert Classics), then they're the most prolific bootlegs I've ever seen! I mean, I very rarely come across any bootlegs in my travels (well, not as far as I know, anyway) - but these are everywhere... and often at full album price, too... Anyway, my actual reason for posting follows now:- Is it actually worth bothering to get any of these albums? I mean, all the albums after Radioactivity are excellent, and Concert Classics is pretty naff (imho - let's not start flaming each other, eh?), but I'll probably get Autobahn one of these days anyway, but I kind of get the impression the early stuff will only really be worth it to fill the collection... Am I being unfair? Is there another Radioactivity or some other stroke of genius hiding there?

"Concert Classics" is interesting, but Kraftwerk are a studio band, especially back then. I think the thing to remember is that "Kraftwerk 1" and "Kraftwerk 2" are the earliest phase of the band; they wern't fully synthetic by any means. In fact, these albums use electric piano, flute, violin, organ, guitars(!), and real drums! The aformentioned, genius "Radio-Activity" was their first 100% electronic album. Personally, I love "1" and "2", but they may not be for everybody. "Ralf & Florian" is very similar to the mood and sound of "Autobahn". Instrumental pieces in various styles. The only words spoken on "R&F" are "Ananas Symphonie" for the song of the same name. I love this album too, KW create the most relaxing, meditative harmonies and rhythmic soundscapes. You should give one a try! I suggest "Kraftwerk 1" (with the red traffic cone), see if you like it. It's pretty experimental, even for Kraftwerk. Oh yes... "Tone Float" was mentioned in another message. Before Kraftwerk, Ralf and Florian were in a band with three other guys, called "Organisation". They released an album called "Tone Float", which is sort of experimental, free-form college improv rock jazz sorta stuff. Then Ralf and Florian left the band to form Kraftwerk. (Organisation then had a second album, but I've never heard it.) So if you see "Tone Float" or "Organisation", that's what it is... A pre-Kraftwerk album! Hope this sheds some light on Kraftwerk's self-obscured past! ---Jason # 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?

Does the sounds really belong to a real calculator? I mean, you can do any kind of sounds with a synth. To me, the sounds are too sharp and clear to have come from a calculator. I've heard an interview with Ralf where he plays the melody from "PC" on the calculator he and Florian bought when they were doing some shopping. It sounded like a Gameboy, but in the version from CW or The Mix the sounds are too clear. Am I right or wrong? I've also seen videos from concerts where Florian is holding a big calculator and plays the melody. If it is a real calculator; (that plays the sounds) what brand and model? And how is Florian doing when he plays that "bleep-blipp-bleep-blipp-bleep" after "by pressing down a special key..."? Are sequences like that programmed into the calculators memory or is he sending a command to his synth to play it?

It says you've already voted, but you're sure you haven't..... This is because the IP address of your connection has already been used by someone to vote. If you use dial-up internet access: Each time you connect to the internet, your ISP allocates an IP address to that connection. As the ISP will have more people connecting than they have IP address's available, it is quite possible that the voting booth will tell you that you have already voted. All you can do is to try again next time you dial-up - you may be lucky. If you have "fixed" access: Some networks are configured so that web servers only see a single "gateway" IP address from anyone connecting within that network. In thios instance, there is little that can be done by the user, apart from trying to make their vote from a machine elsewhere (not on that network). While obviously YOU would not abuse the system by voting more than once, some people have and as this vote may well be used by the organisers to book bands, our main priority is to keep it as free from cheating as possible, and this method is the most effective. We have chosen IP address's as the way to limit the amount of votes because this is the only method available that cannot be abused at the user end. This method was decided on after much discussion amongst those involved, where the pit-falls of each method were discussed in detail. There is no perfect way to limit the voting to one vote per person.

I can't say this for a fact, but I remember when I was younger (this would have been around the time Computer World came out) I had a small toy called Merlin. It was an electronic keypad that looked much like a calculator. Merlin was actually a toy with several games in it and other functions. You could play a memory game like "Simon" and others. One of the best things about it is that you could program it to play small musical sequences. Each key had a note assigned to it and another key was a rest. The booklet that came with it showed you simple tunes you could program Merlin to play. Not long after I had Merlin to got Computer World and to my surprised the "calculator" sounds in Pocket Calculator sounded EXACTLY like Merlin. I even went so far as to figure out how to program the Pocket Calculator "little melodies" into Merlin and they sounded EXACTLY the same. I have always assumed to this day that Merlin was responsible for this sounds on the Kraftwerk album. However, the live versions I've heard (depending on what set of tours) have sounded somewhat different. I can't claim this to be a an exact truth. Perhaps they did use Merlin in the studio, but something different for live shows. Although Merlin could have been used like. Merlin did have an audio output on it which could have made it very easy to use in a concert. Just program in the melodies, hit the "special key", and Merlin would spout out the sequence. - Marc Plainguet # 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?

Yes, its true! In the past few months, The Forms (opening track from the Stress CD) has been downloaded over 4000 times! All I can say is good, good, good! Keep the downloads coming! *** Stress at additional locations. In an ongoing effort to make the Stress CD more widely available, two additional locations have been added: AB-CD.COM http://www.ab-cd.com and Record Time in Roseville, Michigan. Of course, the CD is still available at the official Efofex web site http://www.efofex.net as well as Desirable Disks II in Dearborn, Michigan. Is there a store in your area that might be interested in carrying this release? If so, drop me a line! And although making the CD available the one store at a time is fun, we are still seeking traditional distribution channels in the US and worldwide. If anyone happens to have any information on distributors that might be interested, please feel free to contact me at jtalbert@ameritech.net *** Efofex gets prime exposure at the Ultimate Band List site. Efofex gets some nice prime exposure on The Ultimate Band List web site http://www.ubl.com. If you pay a visit to http://content.ubl.com/downloadsdirect/ you'll see Efofex listed right there in the Electronic section. Following the link from there, The Forms is listed in the second spot! *** Plans to add Windows Media format In the future, there are plans to add the Microsoft Windows Advanced Media format to the Efofex audio page. Why? Because not only is the sound quality far superior to MP3 in comparable bit rates, the files size is generally 40 to 50% smaller! That means even faster downloads! Of course MP3 and real audio will remain available on the site as I want to make certain anyone on any platform can listen to the music. I am, however, very interested in how many other operating systems can also support this format (Macintosh, Linux, BEOS, Unix, etc) so please, send me your feedback. Find more info on this audio format and the player at the Microsoft web site http://www.micrsoft.com. *** Efofex tracks at Music Builder Effective immediately, Efofex now has a page at http://www.musicbuilder.com/Efofex/ At this location you'll be able to get songs from the Stress CD one track at a time. In the near future, there are plans to make some of the unreleased material available on this site as well as the *possibility* for adding a few tracks from the long sold out Efofex debut CD "Proof." Pay a visit from time to time to Efofex at the Music Builder site for updates. *** Thanks Of course, I've saved the most important part for last. I must take this time to thank each and every person who has supported the Efofex effort by obtaining CDs and providing radio airplay on and off the web. I can't thank you enough and I really appreciate your kindness. The Stress CD is doing well but there is still a long way to go. So please, keep passing on the good word! The effort will pay off in time. In the meantime, there is much work to do to secure wider distribution within and outside of the US. From my end, the effort will continue tirelessly. Again, thanks everybody! Until next time...

Quoted from Pascal Bussy's book (page 112): "The track [Pocket Calculator] uses the sounds of Casio and Texas calculators [...]. The first five seconds [of Home Computer] burst of electronic bleeps bears a remarkable similarity with the musical motif of a Texas Instruments game entitled 'Speak & Spell' which appeared on the market in 1980".

Krystalo. Yes, okay. "Horrible" is a bit too hard. But you have to bear in mind that this was a radio concert. The recording wasn't made with a walkman from the thirteenth row, it was made by professional engineers with professional equipment. I know other concerts from that series at WDR radio which are first-class (especially a 1972 Can concert), and maybe the kraftwerkian equipment was new to the technicians, but I'm quite sure they could have done better. > These KW concerts from the 70's & 81 tour are the most interesting > for the sound in my opinion, because eachh interpreatation is > quite different, they have to deal with the problems with there > instruments etc. > So the performance is very unique. I couldn't agree more, and now as ever I love to listen to. BTW, KW performed two times at WDR (March and April 1975). Does anybody know which of the two is on this CD/LP and what has happened to the recording of the other concert?

Bleep sounds like the one in Pocket Calculator are pretty simple sounds, if a pocket calculator can bleep like that a decent synthesizer can. I think Kraftwerk have a few decent synthesizers. Bleep sounds like these can be made using sync-ed oscillators. Two oscillators are, eh, oscillating, where one oscillator resets the other when the wave crosses zero, resulting in a (square) wave with regular irregularities. This sounds like the Pocket Calculator bleeps. I don't think Kraftwerk uses real calculators live, either they're samples or synthesizer-generated.

The sound quality is not the best, and the track listing is inaccurate, but it's still a neat look at the guys before they became the "men-machines". Plus it's neat to hear all the synth tuning and problems, especially when Ralf apologizes for the problems with the drum kit. I imagine everyone on the list has Concert Classics already. If you don't have it, it's worth adding to your collection. Just my humble opinions. -Chuck # 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?

Date: 07 Feb 2000 17:29:50 +0100 In the Autobahn-Man Machine days Florian Schneider had an instrument on stage that looks like a plastic tube on a standard with a flexible swan neck tube from the standard to the middle of the tube. I have seen pictures where he holds it like a flute. I *think* I've seen it on stage in 1981 but he didn't touch it during that performance. Does anyone know what tracks it was used on? As it's a flute-like thing I can imagine it being used for the lead-sound on songs like Spacelab, but I don't think that was ever performed live.

It is distributed in the UK by Pinnacle an upstanding company. It is a radio show recording. When originally broadcast many years ago Kraftwerk would have signed over their rights to the radio station who would of course own the recording. They could then then do more or less what they wished with them. The BBC used to manufacture transcription discs for its far flung stations and these are now being released as part of the 'Strange fruit' series. The BBC although owning the recordings still have to obtain artist pernissions. However as the radio station that broadcast the Kraftwerk show is probably American they perhaps don't need to do so. ps.

Probably not, but you really just have to replace the words "Expo 2000" with the words "Radio Nova", "Kraftwerk" and "Radioactivity", and you have something that comes very close to the Radio Nova jingle(s). The main difference to the EXPO jingle is that the Radio Nova voice sounds more "dangerous", like the vocoder voices in "Radioactivity" (1991 version).

On Monday at roughly 0:10 on Radio 3 (Dutch pop station) programme 'Het Lek' they played the funky, special edition of EXPO2000. I just wish that it was included on the original CD single as it is just so fucking brilliant... Also, if anybody wants a copy of my fairly large discography then let me know. I bought new empty CD-Rs and I feel kie copying. Initially I'd like Neu! 1 as I only have the LP, maybe the Komputer album. If anyone has these, or anything interesting, let me know. I'd also like some cool Pink Floyd and 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', but these aren't exactly KW-esque. Also, anybody know if 'Metamorphoses', the new Jean Michel Jarre album, is good or kak? Oh, one final request, can somebody send me the file PKZIP.EXE? I only have PKUNZIP.EXE and I need to zip my MP3s of Kohouteks 1 and 2 for my site. They are +/- 4mb in MP3 format... Matt visit me at www.geocities.com/gb_not_eu/kwlangu.htm The BEST Kraftwerk site around!!! As visited by Karl and Wolfgang (true!). Klaus Dinger refused to visit, but then he was booted out after a year, which shows how much KW needed him over 30 years.

This CD is hunting, sexy and smooth kinnda like Air jamming with Cerrone type of thing, and that, ladies and gentlemen, is fine with me. For some electronic music fans this might not be enough; but I, for one, don't expect much from anybody anymore. "The next big thing", in my dictionary, is just another Madonna movie, that's it. I'm here to enjoy electronic sounds and if some cool shit, like this CD, happens to come along the way, I buy it.

They did the same thing here in Toronto, and at all the concerts. You haven't lived, though, until you've heard the start-up chime of a Power Macintosh G3 at totally unreasonable volumes, followed by silence, then more static. :o) The version of Being Boring is on a new single out this month, or early March.

They will not perform this year because they're working very hard on "The Sprockets" soundtrack, and don't want to be interrupted at all; besides they're also studying the possibility of appearing on Mr. Myers' movie.

Goes without saying that the first question I fired was related to our heroes, so here it goes: gaucho_pop (my nick) What do you think about Kraftwerk? William_Orbit_live: Kraftwerk rocks the house, I've seen them live twice in England. Both times they were magnificent. These four guys, not exactly young dudes, they just stand there motionless, you say this isn't a rock show, but they took the roof off. Some of the pieces they wrote, those tunes are available just because they are tied up to the whole synthesizer thing, tends to obscure the kind of musicians and writers they are. They got it right. Radioactivity, I did a remix of it a few years back . Ralph Hutter, I was impressed with the man. Anyway, I'm still shaking... The transcript of today's event will be up tomorrow (02/23) at yahoo chat.

Well, Vladimir, maybe you have a tendency to distrust everything other people have to say or offer. I don't. If William Orbit was the one sitting in front of that computer last night, or not, is a matter of trust. And I trust. The organizers, Yahoo.com and Maverick Records, are, for my money, very professional and trustworthy companies.

If you skip forward to about 19 or 20 minutes from the beginning, you can hear some vocoder sound, which I think comes from Kraftwerk.

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.
