KW in Australia
by ncentola 04 Oct '02

04 Oct '02

WOW! Nice to hear it... but are you sure about it? The site is not so clear, and they don´t have yet a press contact or something like that. By the way, do you know the prices of the tickets? I saw something like 90 australian dollar at the site, but seems so expensive... maybe it´s the price for all venues? Are you planning to go to Australia, Marcelo? See you there... hehehe Well, it´s a possibility, considering I have a cousin living in Sydney. And I was planning to travel with my wive on vacations on January... I have to convince her that Australia is much more beatiful than Italy (our original plan)... HAHAHA peace Nicolau www.kraftworld.hpg.com.br >>>> Yes, KW will play at all the following venues: Date City Venue Fri 01/17/03 Auckland, NZ Ericcson Stadium Sun 01/19/03 Gold Coast, AUS Parklands Sat 01/25/03 Sydney, AUS Olympic Park Showgrounds Mon 01/27/03 Melbourne, AUS Royal Melbourne Showgrounds Fri 01/31/03 Adelaide, AUS RA&HS Showgrounds Sun 02/02/03 Perth, AUS Claremont Showgrounds See you in Australia next year, Nicolau ? ... hehehe (anyway I'm praying for KW's South American Tour) Marcelo Figueroa Cordoba - Argentina

From: newpower(a)interlog.com > The refinement and further mechanization/computerization of Kraftwerk > is exactly what they said they wanted to do for years. > Do you need a new interview to explain? It's all in their lyrics: > "I programme my home computer > Beam myself into the future" > They plan to do things they couldn't do yesterday. > Their man/machine project is still the most relevant thing going. > And with so many musical clones out there more musical statements > aren't really necessary. It's a Kraftwerk world and you're living in it. all true & well , BUT ... WHY are kw themselves "promisin'" almost all the time to bring out "a new album" since "electric cafe" in 1986 , if u ask them , when ALL we've got was "the mix" & now maybe "the mix 2" or "the remix" ... or a live-dvd , eh ??? :-o could u explain this ??? *pure_curiosity* CERTAINLY_NOT , as they obviously don't even know an appropriate answer to it themselves !!! :-o 'nuff said for now !!! however ... many greetinx , oh jay ;-) *~\^/~*

Tango
by Christophe Socquet 04 Oct '02

04 Oct '02

Hi all, I'd like to ask you, Kraftwerk guru, a little easy question : Where does the name Tango (name of the Airwave techno extension) came from ? Is this an official name or only a fan choice ? Thank you for any answer. Christophe.

EMIL and KRAFTWERK DVD?
by Dante de Conti Neto 04 Oct '02

04 Oct '02

Emil Schult was photographed together with Ralf Hutter in a Paris coffee: . would be a return of your participation in the band? . would be one of the responsible for the new visual concept? One more: Kraftwerk would be preparing launching new shows in DVD? The refined appearance, the care in the production, big-wide-screen and presence of professional audio/video equipment registering 3 performances can be explain this theory...

Neon Lights
by Toby Frith 03 Oct '02

03 Oct '02

I don't know if anyone else saw this, but when they were playing Neon Lights in Paris, during both shows on the Thursday, Florian turned round at one point to look at the video and signalled to Ralf if as to say "what's this?" - Is Mr Hutter going behind his back eh? ;)

Richard, I think it was, went: >Anyway, if you're prepared to make the effort to go all that way to see >them, you shouldn't miss a trip to Vinyl, the collector's shop in > >Shinjuku >district. There are several Vinyl stores there, each covering a >different <range of music, but you'll find a lot of admittedly expensive KW <collector's >items in the electro & Krautrock shop at Vinyl Japan #1 (open 12:00->21:00 >no >holidays; phone >3365-0910; Nishi-Shinjuku 7-4-9). I was there in May of last year. I saw the German original Autobahn LP signed by all four - that would be Klaus Roeder, not Karl. I'm not saying it wasn't worth the 400 Euros (!) they wanted for it, but I sure didn't have the money. In fact, Japan is a real mecca for a rare vinyl collector - so long as you're not after Japanese pressings! I couldn't find ANY 3" singles of western artists, for example, and Vinyl Japan is mostly an import store. Should have been the best shop in Soho, London, judging by the stock... Anyway, if I find good money in my matress or something like that, I for one am going to Tokyo in mid December. (I can dream, can't I?)
