I have never been sure of the correct meaning of AOR but some people have told me that it means 'Adult Oriented Rock', which is close. I'm not saying this is right though, just that I've heard so many different meanings.

Ah ha - good old Joe Meek - I used to live in a flat on the Holloway Road (number 302b) that was next door to the one Joe used as a studio in the sixties. It was fun to imagine the stuff he got up to in there - drummer in the living room, horn section on the stairs, singer in the bathroom etc, and cables trailing everywhere. The people who lived in Joe's old place had no idea who he was or what he contributed to music technology. The number of artists who recorded there is quite extraordinary - The Small Faces, Rod Stewart, Tom Jones to name a few.

If you can send me your recommended URL to your audio page, I can link to it directly from the Active-K page. Now here's the question I pose to the entire list. Now that the really hot audio files are out of the way (ZKM, Luton, Techno Pop, etc), what would most people like to see featured next on Active-K in the coming weeks? Here are some of my thoughts: Kraftwerk's 2 MTV themes The 2 Doepfer Florian Schneider poems More key LIVE performances (1975 - 1997) The 1990 Bologna Concert (all songs differ from The Mix tour versions) Rare bootleg remixes (Although most IMHO are not worth a download) Showroom Dummies Edit Mix 2 Etape (Tour De France rhythm only mix) The sound of Ralf snoring at the Klingklang studio (ha - just kidding) Well anyway, you get the idea :) I'd really like to hear your suggestions. I've got a pretty *inhumane* collection of stuff so just ask - I probably have it! I'm also thinking of creating a special 'Kraftwerk List' exclusive MIDI version of Music Non-Stop which would come with a custom soundbank for the AWE32/64 card. This bank would include recreations/samples of the missing effects (i.e Boing, Boom, Tschak, Ping, Drums, etc) I'm a bit hesitant because it would require additional on-board memory and would require an additional soundbank be loaded before playing the MIDI. If anyone is still interested in something like this, please let me know.

He had a lot of cool tunes: "Rock Me Amadeus", "Vienna Calling", and "Der Kommisar". Rock On, FALCO I agree with totally with you,I still can't believe it.It's horrible when anyone dies, but especially someone whose music(or whatever quality they specialized in) passes on unexpecteded, especially when they are young(and yes I considered him young because old, to me, is like 110 years). Is anyone else bothered by the fact that there is so little coverage of his death, considering he was a prominent music figure just a few years ago? Oh well, does anyone on the list have any really"Unique" KW concert stories. If you have alread told them on the list, then sorry on my part. Yours truly, Heather D. Somebody also posted an article- I can't post it here, but, I'll gladly forward it to anyone who's interested. >> SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) -- Falco, a classical music prodigy who turned to pop music and had a 1986 hit with "Rock Me Amadeus," has died in a traffic accident, officials said Saturday. He was 40. << That's just the "Lead". It's a nicely-written, respectful article if anyone wants it. Please Email me.... -(He was MY age.

I caught them on W4 (before they sold out!)...did not care for them at all. It was a couple of years later that a friend and I were driving around, and he played Man Machine...I thought it stunk too. I didn't "re-discover" Kraftwerk until about 4 years ago or so...you grow, you mature (hopefully). I was at a friends house, and she was playing The Mix...I recognized it as Kraftwerk, but...I thought it was great. I got a copy of it...I was talking to a friend at work...he had CW...I loved it. Next trip to a used record store I found Radioactivity. The rest is history...

I remember "Underground Radio" (which was the forerunner to AOR) in the late 60's - early 70's...too bad Kraftwerk hadn't made it here then (Kraftwerk 1 & 2)...I KNOW I would have had a completely different attitude. Or perhaps if I would have found them in the days when I was a "space cadet", I would have appreciated them sooner. np: The Partridge Family - Rainmaker _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
