With all due respect, this is not completely true. Exempli gratia: Finnish band Pan sonic base all of their visuals on a (vertical) oscilloscope signal waving on a screen behind them synchronized in real time with the audio they are playing. At least in their 1998 tour. >> Please let me add that the intro was the same of http://www.kraftwerk.com. > As I said: not exactly > web = loop (for size reasons) > intro = noodle (not quite repetitive) You are utterly right. I beg you pardon for my mistaken statement. Sorry! By the way, the correct spelling is "hasta la vista, baby!". Anyway, no "problemo"! :-P ;-DER AUTOMAT

Quoted from UK record shop Music Non Stop newsletter #109: Siderartica "Night Parade" CD (Shadowlab) Siderartica is the side project of Elena Fossi, member of Kirlian Camera and second wing in Angelo Bergamini's project Stalingrad. Elena, her brother Andrea and Kirlian Camera live-member Andrea Savelli, perform a breathless opus for lonely nights and chilly dawns. [snip] A very personal and original way to unfold the teachings of bands like Kraftwerk, Joy Division and Kirlian Camera [snip] http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/store/erol.html#10552x10634 DER AUTOMAT

On an unrelated note. Have you list-members listen to Madonna's 'Die another day' theme? It contains a very reminiscence of Kraftwerk's TEE-ish drum aftertaste. The track has been produced by Mirwais. DER AUTOMAT

I think someone else posted something earlier?... Does > anyone know for a fact if he was at any of the concerts? An interview to David Bowie was aired on a French TV channel (sorry, don't remember the name, it possibly is Canal +, but I'm not sure) on September 26th. He named Kraftwerk as one of his favorite musicians of all times. DER AUTOMAT

1997 album

SIMPLY because Kraftwerk cancelled the previous album announced in 1997! ;-) --------------- Is there any documentary evidence for this, that they themselves cancelled an actual album (again) in 1997? I have heard from somewhere that EMI Germany weren't keen on the results of some work in progress, but a set of demos is not the same thing as having a completed project with a fixed tracklist ready for marketing. However if there was indeed an definite project which was 'cancelled' (or ran out of steam?) I'd guess it never got further than what in publishing would be the commissioning stage, where the author merely discusses the proposed work with the publisher/distributor prior to making a commitment.

A worldwide tour in 2003?
by Toby Frith 08 Oct '02

08 Oct '02

Does anyone reckon that the recent gigs were a warm-up for a larger tour next year? Remember, they did do a short tour of Italy in 1990 prior to the Mix being released, showcasing the reworked tracks (or blueprints of the new tracks). However, no new material was played this time so it's all conjecture.
