Italian KW fans unite!
by Luca Dassi 04 Jun '02

04 Jun '02

Last Saturday at the Vinilmania record fair (Milan, Italy) I had the opportunity to meet a group of Italian KW fans, gathered by Giorgio "Hoppe, hoppe" Reiter (just 23, KW-mad and sporting a red shirt with a led-enhanced black tie ;-). These boys (well, there's also a girl, Daria) are awesome! They have a massive collection of KW items and plan to enrich their website www.onlinefiuli.com/mondokraftwerk with a load of material for Italian KW fans. Funnily enough, they only knew about the KW group on Yahoo! - I told them about our list and they plan to make the move very soon... some of them aren't too happy with the moderator ;-) Ciao, Luca Italy

10 Speed and the German Kwk CDs
by Oystein Moe 04 Jun '02

Hi, Sorry I lost the plot a while back, the sun has been out for a couple of days. However, since the "Origin of Hip Hop" discussion has shown the impressive attention span of subscribers to this list, some of you may still be interested in the cover version of Tour De France by 10 Speed. Back in the day (1990?), an American Kraftwerk fan name of Joe Schepis made an attempt (pre internet, guys) to make a complete Kraftwerk discography, including cover versions. According to his list, 10 Speed's version of TDF was also issued as a single, with various versions of the track. It's a quite good cover IIRC, although I haven't played it in at least ten years. Us kids used to break dance to it. Heard that before I heard the original. Ah well. xxx And the German versions of the albums are to be found at www.infrarot.de, also a good shop for other modern electronic music. And gothic rock, if that should be of interest.

This is what the photografer say himself: "Since I was not only taking pictures but also reviewing the concert for a local paper I dug out what I wrote then. There were only 500 people in the audience (capacity being 1'200). I pointed out, that except for voice, all sounds were synthetic and that they were let down by their equipment several times during the concert. I must say, that I was less than thrilled. The concert lacked warmth and feeling - it was very artificial and since the venue was half empty reactions were luke warm. I can't tell you the songs they played, but I mentioned 'RadioaktivitÃ¤t' and 'Trans-Europ-Express'. I met the guys after the concert and had a talk with them. I only remember, that they were deceived, that their music did not come across well that evening. That's about it - by the way when I published these pics I got several reactions doubting the date of this concert. There seem to be no sources about a tour at this date. But I'm absolutely positiv about it - I have the newspaper article in front of me (dated 7.10.1976). Best regards Ueli Frey" The concert took place in Zurich at Volkshaus. /AndrÃ©as Omega wrote: http://kraftwerk.technopop.com.br/images/images/70years/maxi/pic67_70.jpg Does anyone have some history on this photo? _________________________________________________________________ MSN Foto Ã¤r det enklaste sÃ¤ttet att dela eller skaffa papperskopior av dina foton: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

"technically", t.e.e. was one of the most sampled and used/played records of that period in n.y.c.! > Maybe Ralf thought of the idea of TEE November 11th, 1974. > Would that be the "birth" of Trans Europe Express? > We must focus, brother. fact is that you run out of arguments and all you do right now is splitting even more hairs, brother! get real- and maybe become a hair stylist then! ;) p.s.: as far as i'm concerned, this topic is closed, as all relevant info is out and only ignorant and arrogant wannabe's would discuss it any further, sorry. peace, y' all! ..::=|X|=::..

Yeah, I would be totally delighted if they released nothing, being a Kraftwerk fan. > > making us think there may be another album. >they make no one think anything... they release just a single, because >they need money... That a joke? > > They still > > exist as a band so they raise peoples hopes about more music. >that's their right as a band... their beeing as a band is not the >guarante for releasing an album... Again, I am describing the situation that currently exists. People notice that Kraftwerk exist and thus many fans unsurprisingly hope they make another 35 minutes for us to discuss for eternity.
