The record features, apart from the hit single "I Never Knew", a few homages to Kraftwerk, among them there is a very recommendable song called "Computerbank". http://www.rogersanchez.com DER AUTOMAT # 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?

As it is now there is a very expressive and very important contrast (especially live!) between the relentless perfection o= f the music machinery and the fragility of the voice, always on the verge o= f faltering... On the Virtu Ex Machina bootleg he comes closest to singing "for real". Check it out! In the case of Karl, however, it doesn't work, simply because BOTH the voice and the music falters.

All the kids seemed to like it as the jumped up and down. Good to see Kraftwerk is still liked by kids like me in their teens and early 20's. == Signed, omegaChance AIM: omegaChance ICQ: 9695138 EMAIL: Omega@Herzeleid.net www.OmegaChance.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?

One DJ, at the NYC NESH party (a lil' while ago), was playing mostly trip-hopish/elektroish stuff, with the crowd, well, not reacting exceptionally well. Then he suddenly dropped Kraftwerk's "Numbers"... I admit it must've been some a slight remix of some sort (the bassdrum was much harder than the original... or did the DJ just turn up the bass?). But anyway, as soon as "eins zwei drei vier funf sechs sieben acht" blasted thru the speakers, I saw quite a few people smile or grin pleasantly, and then the crowd got going nicely :). Who says you can't dance to Kraftwerk? Ptfooey :) - - Oleg # 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?

I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, though I noticed a couple of photos of Kraftwerk, so no doubt they are given due attention.

When I get the cash, he's writing the soundtrack to my life. With smooth & checked moves, Senor Coconut ran his Sense Lovetrain through a (rather small) chacha-starcing audience. Not that many knows this, but Roskilde Daily is now able to reveal it. Senor Coconut is in fact the German DJ and latino-lovin' DJ Uwe Schmidt. Does this sound non-sense to you? Yes? Forget it - Herr Coconut is capable of outplaying every single Ricky Martin there is, when it comes to Sexy Salsa. Naturally, he knows his Perez Prado and Tino Puente on the fingertips and uses it every second. ask yourself this questions: When was the last time YOU were to concert where people started to do 'the Locomotion' without being hesitant? shame on you, all those who weren't there! - ------------------------------------------------------- And now for my personal view: Incredible. Everything mentioned i the above review matches my feelings. Though the DO forget to mention that fact that 3 girls (with _very_ little cloths on *g*. Read: Stamp-sized bikini top and _very_ short cowboy shorts) came up on the stage during "Music Non-Stop", and nobody seemed to mind. In fact, most of the band members ewre just smiling all the way! And if anyone has ever doubted that Kraftwerks music reaches out, all I can say is that I saw people from age 7 or 8 to around 50 or so. I saw Goth people, Heavy Metal people, Pop people (read: Buffalo shoes), Techno people, people like Me (Who just likes all sorts of music). I think that all of the Festivals peopel genres were represented. I was talking to some persons next to me (secured a spot up fornt around 30 minutes before the concert), and we spoke for the entire 30 minutes of Kraftwerks concert in '98.

Então, olá brasileiros ! Estou a procura de cultura EBM no Brasil, mais especificamente em SP, sob todos os aspectos, incluindo casas ou bares que tocam EBM e organizações ou lugares que cultuam a música eletrônica como arte e não como ruídos de video-game. Não sou músico, mas tenho extremo interesse nos resultados acusticos das composições ritimicas baseadas em tecnologia eletrônica. Só não tive tempo de explorá-la, ainda. Tenho extremo interesse em conhecer e participar de trabalhos ou "Electronic Jam Sessions". PS: Sou fã do KraftWerk desde "criancinha" e estive no show em SP (sou fã também do Vômito Negro e diversos pioneiros da música eletrônica - não vou citar todos os nomes agora) PS-2: Sou engenheiro de software. SMALL ENGLISH VERSION: Do someone know anything about EBM culture in Brazil (mainly in "Sao Paulo") ? Including clubs, societies, organizations, etc...
