How to find out which route KW cycles to shows
by KWNumbers 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

I read in the BBC interview, I think, that they leave Ralf and Florian off 100 km from the concert destination and the ride their titanium bikes in from there. During the ride in software records their Electro Kardiogramm. Hey, if anyone knows the route they are taking, please post it to the list. I know they are intensely private about stuff like that, but that would be one heck of a vitamin-charged aerodynamik paceline!

Chicago Sun Times Article (And tour info?)
by Martin Olson 27 Aug '03

27 Aug '03

Pretty good long interview and review in the Chicago Sun Times: http://www.suntimes.com/output/entertainment/sho-sunday-kraft24.html Nice bit towards the beginning: He also promises an extensive American tour late this year or in early 2004. Most disturbing mental image: Q. You mentioned Florian's role in developing the electronics. You two have been together since 1968. What is so special about that collaboration? A. Well, it's like an electronic marriage. [Laughs] Mr. Kling and Mr. Klang. It's stereo, so it gives the music the over-all dimension. Yin yang, Kling Klang. .......... .martin.olson .developer .nylon.technology .six.west.fourteenth.street .new.york.ny.10011 .212.691.1134 .martin(a)nylontechnology.com .......................

KW on US Dance Series CD!
by Keith Johnson 27 Aug '03

27 Aug '03

Hi folks! In the US we have several "Remix Services" that package songs into monthly "series" CD's, available by subscription to DJ's, radio stations, and the like. One of the largest, Promo Only, put Kraftwerk into one of their series! In their "Alternative Club" series CD for August, 2003, Tour De France appears. In their accompaning magazine they describe the track (and another of the CD's cuts) thusly: "Ghost Caldron goes way left with the Vortex Psychonauts Remix of "See What I've Become," an almost eighties electro type piece which kind of reminds one of some early Kraftwerk. Adding a few familiar 80's dance samples and working a vocodered vocal, the sound definitely harkens back to those old LFO and Kraftwerk grooves. Speaking of Kraftwerk, the electro pioneers make a rare appearance in our collection this month with "Tour De France" a futuristic style electro groove that really can't be placed into any category. Lots of spacey filtered keyboard work along side perky muted kick in this Long Distance Version 2 mix. Those signature dark vocals are intact and add a little direction to what is otherwise a very eccentric track." Accompanying the article is a picture of the original foursome from the Computer World period. It's great that any remix service would include Kraftwerk in one of their issues. Perhaps that American Tour isn't too far off <G>. -Keith Johnson
