Computer World Album

I like putting on the headphones and cranking up Computer World. While some argue that it isn't innovative by KW's standards, it is lush with layers of soft sounds. I still think that style of electronic music was ahead of its time when you listen closely to tracks like Computer World II, Computer Love, and Numbers. (How did they record that machine-gun barrage of German numbers at the end of the song? Talk about lots of editing!)

My mistake Oh Jay

Hi guys, Damn, did I say "Leftfield", I meant to say "Prodigy". Sorry about that. Perhaps it was a lamentable Freudian slip. The news comes from a friend close to a partner of a member of the band. As always, could be speculation but just as this KW concert now appears to be the real thing, it's best to be optimistic. Good to see you are all on your toes anyway peace

Kraftwerk played 2 sets on the same evening in 1981 Bombay / India. However, I don't belive it ;-). Gruesse aus Wien, Georgie

peo wrote very eloquent : > ... other people as well, who seem to think it's fun to annoy Oh Jay > just because they know he'll be mad and start a flame war. THAT'S_EXACTLY_THE_POINT , peo !!! *very_deep_sigh* :-o immature individuals like rob evans & amir doesn't seem to have anythin' better to do than to annoy others , to see HOW_FAR they can go & what mess comes of it then !!! *grim* :-/ "the rats that come out of their dark holes" like mark reed , soleil & their ilk then only "join in the chant" again to take part in this PERVERTED_MIND_GAME against their favorite SCAPEGOAT ( that's ME , for those of u , who still haven't realized it by now !!! :-/ ) & in the end , we start again were we've jus' left off the last time , which is rather sad for some adults with brains !!! *sigh* :-o > To you I just want to say: get out of it already. > It may be fun one or two times (for some people maybe), > but in general you're coming out as teenagers. > Is that how you want us to look at you? > You might as well sign off this list until you grow up, then. THE_TRUTH is that this list is simply cursed with WAY_TOO_MANY_ARROGANT_&_SELFISH_PRICKS_!!! :-/ they'll continue to blow up their pitiful egos until they'll finally burst & THEY'LL_NEVER_LEARN_NOR_"GROW_UP" , which makes EV'RY effort to keep the peace on this list USELESS , because WITHOUT_A_STRONG_MODERATOR this list is simply LOST_!!! :-( that's my personal conclusion of all the past incidents here & why i still ( & ALWAYS_!!! ) will DEMAND that ONLY_A_STRONG_MODERATOR can rule this list in the end , as the members itself are simply UNABLE to do this , sorry !!! *deeply_disappointed_sigh* :-o > This has gone far beyond silly. DAMNED_RIGHT_!!! :-/ > For Ralf's sake, are we grown-ups or aren't we? jus' look @ the majority of postings on the list & u already know the answer to it !!! *sigh* :-o > Personal discussions can easily be handled off-list, hammer this into the brains of rob evans & amir , mate !!! :-o > Not everything is suitable for public consumption, > nor is everything related to the actual topic of this list. i couldn't agree more to it & as i've rejoined this list as oh jay only a few days ago , i've really TRIED my best to simply IGNORE_THE_IGNORANT & their ilk , but they came like the plague @ me again ... ONLY because IT'S_ME & they simply like to annoy me , because their lives are so pitiful that they really DON'T seem to have anythin' better to do than jus' this , which is A_REAL_SHAME for EV'RY adult with @ least a few functionin' brain cells left !!! *utterly_disappointed_sigh* :-o well ... "that's jus' the way it is ... some things will NEVER change !!!" & this list is simply CURSED because of it !!! :-/ A_HOPELESS_CASE ... until A_STRONG_MODERATOR will finally RULE this place ... ULTIMATELY_!!! *utmost_convinced_look* take this as my final comment to all this mess , fellows , because ALL that could be said was already said & ONLY_A_REAL_CHANGE from complete anarchy to reasonable & also responsible ACTIN' will finally change things for the better in this place !!! *utmost_convinced_look_again* but i highly doubt this !!! :-/ sad , but TRUE_!!! :-o oh jay *~\^/~*

ESH pays homage to Kraftwerk
by Der Automat 13 Jun '02

13 Jun '02

What comes next has been quoted from Belgian music magazine Side-Line http://www.side-line.com: Empire State Human have recorded a version of Kraftwerk's "The Hall Of Mirrors". The track will appear on the new album "Alpha & Omega", with Ninthwave Records. This version is a lot more upbeat than the original, darker Kraftwerk one, which is to be found on their ground breaking "Trans-Europe Express" album, released in 1977. The ESH version though, mixes musical elements similar to Adamski and Jean Michel Jarre, which results in a futuristic / electro mix. It will appear in a shorter radio edit format on "Alpha & Omega".

Re: [Kraftwerk] Radioactivity video
by John Shilcock 13 Jun '02

13 Jun '02

mR. SaTuRn mentioned about the KW Radioactivity video with the Computer Game on it... I had always assumed that that was NOT an official Kraftwerk item... the ONLY place I have seen it is within the German TV show from 1981/2? called "Die Mensch Maschine" (For those who don't know.. this is just a great program which intermixes German interview with Ralf and LIVE material in their nice red shirts!) In this program radio activity is played with that 'video' displaying... Does anyone know for FACT that this is Kraftwerk (Kling Klang) material and not something that the TV producers put together. I'm sure that there IS an official Kraftwerk video of Radioactivity... one where those light switches can be seen in use.... ;o) Oystein said that I had said about counting to 100 before posting anything in here..... perhaps I was mistaken.... by a factor of 10!.... and it as directed at ALL in this list.
