festival moment
by Shaun Vaughan 14 May '02

14 May '02

For those who are interested :- Little snippet from Muzik (UK dance magazine, June edition), in an article called, '50 Festival Moments'. In at no. 3 comes the Kraftwerk appearance at Tribal Gathering. 'It could have been like the Beatles reforming and playing 2 hours of pub rock at Wembley. But from the moment that the first electronic snare drum of 'Numbers' rung out across Luton Hoo, 42,000 revellers were silenced with astonishment, then ecstatic with delight. The Teutonic techno-progenitors, attired in black sci-fi suits and slicked back hair (well..3 of them at least still have hair), delivered an epochal set, their first major gig in 15 years (?). Thanks to Paul Shurey and Ian Jenkinson who ran Tribal Gathering, the summer of '97 went down in dance music history.' So there.... Shaun

Stockhausen - an influence or not?
by Oystein Moe 14 May '02

14 May '02

Hi, I've been away for a week and read about a hundred messages in one go, so forgive me if this was already answered, but someone implied that Kraftwerk did not actually admit to being influenced by Stockhausen. They did, I have several interviews on tape from 1981 where Ralf talks about their early influences. He names Stockhausen, and also Fluxus happenings. John, help me here, could it be the Radio One show? Besides, if in 1971 you wanted to make electronic music, there wasn't exactly loads of it around to influence you. I notice that some of you make some rather frigid statements about Stockhausen's music, but when R&F were young, that was pretty much all there was. He WAS a pioneer. Therefore, as well as for other reasons, Stockhausen deserves the awards and prizes he gets. Whether you like contemporary classical music or trance is ofcourse up to you. love Oystein (sorry if I seem like a snotty besserwisser for not going into all the personal politics on this list, but I'm still really interested in the music!!) _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com

[OT] John Foxx
by Luca Dassi 12 May '02

12 May '02

I finally got hold of "The pleasures of electricity" by John Foxx & Louis Gordon. Absolutely brilliant! Highly recommended for KW fans (along with "Metamatic" and "Shifting City") BTW If anyone of you has got a copy of "Subterranean Omnidelic Exotour 1998" and is willing to sell/trade/make a copy it, please contact me. Please note: I don't usually copy CDs - I'm asking for a copy simply because this record (a limited 500 copies edition) is terribly hard to find. Ciao, Luca

About 200 Banana-Synthesizers were produced in 1982/1983.

[OT] "Composition Omega"
by The Claycomb's 10 May '02

10 May '02

To those who are interested.... I have a new song out, it's called "Composition Omega" It's only available at Ampcast http://www.ampcast.com/uniquewerkx right now but in a few days or so then MP3.com. It sounds more like a cross between newer KW and older KW, along the likes of "Computer Love" and "Tour De France" style with a hint of song that starts out "Air Waves". As usual nothing was sampled..... It's all my equipment. ;) Regards, Christian Claycomb UniQue Werkx http://www.ampcast.com/uniquewerkx http://www.mp3.com/christianac
