I only gave Ralf credit making the decision of going remix instead of best of, that's all, and although I was not completely pleased with the outcome, at least it gave me the opportunity to have a very polished Kling Klang bootleg in my CD player, and not a filler collection. My credit for programming the album goes to Karl. E

OMD, Simple Minds and Komputer come to mind. Komputer, at least, changed the lyrics and the name of the song. Marcelo replied: >> I always think 'Computer Love' was killed in 'The Mix' You took the words out of my mouth. I couldn't agree with you more. Computer Love in the The Mix has none of the animated romanticism, and colorful warmth that made it so engaging an pleasing in Computer World. E

Don't expect the unexpected
by Tomasz Kirmuc 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

Let's be honest. Can we expect new mind-blowing project from artist who is doing his 'job' for more than 30 years? Do we have superb, revolutionary 'products' from Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Depeche Mode, Rolling Stones or Jarre nowadays?! Revolution is for youngsters. Old Masters' job is to practice their craft. Maybe the album is not varied enough, maybe it sounds little bit like long maxi-single more than an album. Even then I enjoy every minute of 'Soundtracks' and I hope it's not their last word. Did any of us dream seriously of new Kraftwerk album? Me not ;-) Of course, they didn't discover the America, but they're still in good shape! Kling Klang still has good products for us :-) I pay respect to R&L for that they are still searching; they still have will to record some new tunes for folks likes us around the world. Did you expect such surprises like the concerts last year with completely new stage set up? Isn't it exciting enough? It's like meeting good old friend who was away for last few years... I'm sure I will know the album by heart before next Monday, but even then I'm going to buy CD, LP - maybe both German & English editions. And I will remember that TdF'03 joy for next few years. 'Vitamin' should be released as next single definitely. TK

Re: [Kraftwerk] Another opinion after listening to the album
by Tomasz Kirmuc 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

Well, I cannot agree. It's not so bad. It isn't their best album: true. It's not revolutionary: true. Maybe it's little bit monothonic (you have to remember it's concept album about bicycles...). Maybe the last track (re-recorded TdF) is worse than original one.... But it's still good album worth to buy! I listened the whole album three times already - each time I like it more. Of course it has pros & cons but generally speaking: good job from R&F. I convince to listen it several times. It's more 'tasty' when you listen with (good) headphones. P.S.: When I hear TdF'03 I have strange thought to take my bike in make some 'tour' of my own ;-) Let's ride! Let's enjoy this moment! Even if it is not as good as Computer-World was - come on: it's new Kraftwerk's album and it's good! Next album in 12 years time :-) TK ------ Message: 2 Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2003 09:44:09 +0200 From: "Kajola L" <kajola(a)hotmail.com> Subject: [Kraftwerk] Another opinion after listening to the album To: kraftwerk(a)mailman.xmission.com Message-ID: <BAY1-F83tw9snfLEHmF0000cfa2(a)hotmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1; format=flowed I have been listening to the album two times this morning. I'm sorry to say but I think this is an album that I will soon foget. The long Tour de France etape 1-3 sounds like some boring technomuzak. Of the other new tracks i think it's only "Vitamin" and maybe "La forme" that sounds "OK". To bad it wasn't better after the long waint..... :-( Well, they will always have a place in my heart for the great music the have created but i will soon forget the 2003-album.....
