[Kraftwerk] A fanatics reaction to the imminent release of a new album
by owlwatcher_974 28 Jun '03

28 Jun '03

I have tried to stay calm cool and collected as I've listened to the news of a new Kraftwerk album about to be released ... I tried to stay detached and not get my hopes up even as I heard a small clip of one of the songs ... I wouldn't even really let myself listen to it because I wanted to stay calm (I even tried to tell myself that I really didn't like the new sound ... it wasn't that big of a deal since it was only a remake of Tour de France.. ect...) But now that I've heard a piece of one of the other tracks I can no longer hold back.. *takes a deep breath and shouts so loud the windows rattle* KRAFTWERK IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAHHH!!!!!!! KRAFTWERK RULES!!!!!!!!!! *takes a few deep breaths to regain her composure* It feels so good to finally let that out. To tell the truth I am so excited that I cannot wait until the album is released ... I don't care what it sounds like or how much Kraftwerk have changed. I have hoped and waited for this for soooo long and now that it's finally happening I am going insane waiting for the album to finally hit the stores!!! ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...

Does anyone have a link to the new track, which has not this radio moderator in the beginning and is in STEREO ??? The download all are talking about is MONO! This caused phase-interferations (don't know the englisch word for PhasenauslÃ¶schung) at the bassdrum...

Every concert on CD? Why not?
by Tomasz Kirmuc 27 Jun '03

These people had very good idea. I regret that Kraftwerk are not so keen to legally publish their live music for everyone interested (I believe there are some of them around the globe). This would definitely make pirates & bootlegers unnecessary and us - fans - very happy. http://themusic.com/encore/ Tomasz Kirmuc

New tune.
by Enrique Correa 26 Jun '03

26 Jun '03

Hi all, I was not disappointed at TdF '03, and I make that statement based on the fact that I was not expecting a groundbreaking warm loving melody mixed with intricated percussions. In fact, their new single has so many elements from E2K and the three new tunes, that it's almost naive for anyone to expect a second coming with their new album. I believe the lukewarm reception to TdF '03, E2K and the unreleased tracks played back in '97, has more to do with the missing elements, than with what's in them. There are almost no elements left, other than the vocals, from the band we all grew up with. Ralf and Florian, keep them coming. I'll buy anything from you guys. It's just that with every one of your new releases, you are making me miss Karl and Wolfgang more every time... E

Thus spake Der Automat: >Thank you very much indeed, that was very kind of you. You're welcome. I've gotten such a lot of info from this list over the past nine years, so I thought it was only fair to give something back. :-) > > Still, some faces are > > curiously absent today, such as a well-known British fan who we can >> call P.; in the early to mid-90s he would travel all over Europe to >> see an Elektric Music or Kraftwerk concert. Karl remembers him well, >> but has some reservations: > >Excuse me if I seem to be not very bright here but who's P.? Paul Wilkinson >maybe? We made a decision not to name names in the magazine, but you're right - it is Paul. (And the guy from Bath is of course Andrew Slegt.)

Hello to all. A friend of mine will be in London next week. I would like to know the name (and if possible addresses) of nice stores to buy Kraftwerk itens, maybe some newer bootlegs, old vinyl? Thanks for any help. regards, Dagoberth.

Petter replied: >You forget about this page: > http://www.emi-catalogue-marketing.de/xml/9/500021/5526902.html For the record, I was talking about the Album, not the Single. The album link, by the way, is this one: <http://www.emi-catalogue-marketing.de/xml/9/500021/5917102.html>
