A friend of mine found this http://www.slantmagazine.com/music/features/2520electronicalbums.html Slant magazine have named the 25 greatest electronic albums of the 20th century. I only own 7 of the records and I'll sure listen to the others as soon as I'm back after my vacation... /Joakim This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Cap Gemini Ernst & Young Group.

Now that the dust has settled and we've heard the new album, can I once again play devil's advocate and suggest that the audio loop at www.ton-art.de (with whom KW have links... see the credits on the album), is by Kraftwerk themselves... :-) It's pretty much those same drums and that stab sound again! Anyone got an opinion? Staggboy

I...or I should say the LA Times...made a mistake. It is Karl Bartos who will be in LA on 9/18 at the House of Blues!

Copy Protection
by Tomasz Kirmuc 17 Aug '03

EMI uses Cactus Data Shield copy protection for their discs. It's quite effective: only one of five checked PC optical drives managed to read them correctly (= I was able to exctract the contents). You have to check by yourself if your CD/DVD-ROM is able to handling such "cactus" protected discs. My: TDK's CyClone 48/24/48B can do this, as well as 2x speed TDK's DVD-R/RW writer. My older TDK drive, Pioneer DVD-ROM and new Plextor PX-116A DVD-ROM are also unable to read such discs.

copy control

Not that I understand why any of you care, but I have no problem whatsoever in running my 591 710 2 copy of the album on WinAmp (& Windows XP). Just bung the CD in the CDRom drive and activate Winamp. And the cover of my CD is full of copy control (mis)info. So. ö _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail snakker ditt språk! http://www.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/sbox?rru=dasp/lang.asp - Få Hotmail på norsk i dag

I know KW prefers Campy components, but the new derailleur suspiciously sounds like a Shimano fishing reel!

AFAIR, Kraftwerk WAS mentioned in the film credits. When I've first seen that film in a movie theatre (I was only 18!) I was so in shock at that scene and the music played on that boombox that I did something I had never done before: stay back and read the closing credits. Sure enough, Kraftwerk TdF's song appeared in the middle of a long list of songs. I was so happy that I wanted to yell. I knew it was them. I remember playing records at home and cranking up annoyingly loud Blue Monday, TdF and I Feel Love back to back. Man, I'm old! For the record, back in my teen days, I had a hell of a time trying to put a name to that one song that I once heard either on the radio or on TV jingle. Cars by Gary Numan and Parsons' Hyper-Gamma Spaces were amongst them. Those were the days! E
