Does any member of the list have a scan of that image showing Kraftwerk dressed like employees of gas station? It looks like these photo was found in a bootleg cover from Japan. If any member have it, please send to our address: kraftwerk(a)technopop.com.br We will publish it, and give all the respective credits.

Well, what do you know... just came back from a record store and browsing through magazines I read on the Mixer (July's issue) that Moby picked The Man Machine as one of his three favorites records to shag by. It goes on to say that "TMM has a special feel to it and it helps create that special mood..." or something along those lines... Is Moby for real? TMM would be the last record I'd pick to help create a sexy mood... I mean, come on, touching, feeling, licking and kissing while listening to The Robots? Something's wrong with that picture... unless, of course, you ARE a robot :-) E
