Senor Coconut.

Senor Coconut version of Showroom Dummies is featured in the critically acclaimed Mexican film "Y Tu Mama Tambien"... it fits quite nicely, I must say (around the 30 - 35 min DVD mark, IIRC) E

Morthem Vlade Art
by Der Automat 09 Jan '03

09 Jan '03

The following is quoted from the Belgian music magazine Side-Line newsletter 06/01/03 n° 173: Morthem Vlade Art to release new material The new Morthem Vlade Art album "Photography in things" will be out on February 21st through Pandaimonium Records. Mixing elaborate electronica, eighties sounds with "Kraftwerk" overtones and industrial rythmics, this fourth album offers even more sober voices with a fluidity and an exposure already introduced in their previous album "Antechamber". In related news, an inedited song entitled "Sleuth" (a sort of electronica piece originally composed by Gregg Anthe during the "Antechamber" sessions) will be available in early 2003 on the compilation "Q_F_G" (3 cds) published by Parametric Records (Mlada Fronta) and dedicated to the experimental/ electronica/ industrial french scene.

Kraftwerk on the cover of "Muzik"
by Toby Frith 08 Jan '03

08 Jan '03

For UK collectors, I noticed that Kraftwerk are on the front of this month's "Muzik" magazine. It seems that there are 3 different ones (Madonna, Prince and Kraftwerk) to collect. There's also a cover of Showroom Dummies by Senor Coconut on the CD. The article mentions that they were once on the now sadly-defunct Tomorrow's World regarding a "musical suit".. Is this true or is it another case of a journalist not researching properly?

Big day out show
by Toby Frith 08 Jan '03

I might be in Perth for the Big Day out on 2 Feb. Does anyone know how long Kraftwerk will be playing for in these festivals? I doubt it'll be 2 hours, and seeing them for anything less doesn't really seem worth my while forking out x amount of Aus$.

Well, it's that time of year once again, so I'm off for my Winter furlough to Cozumel, Mexico, as brief as it is this time--a mere 8 days. Talk to you soon. Peace.

Since purchasing a laptop several months ago, he has taken to performing his music live. He creates a moody, expansive sound through mixing up to eight prerecorded loops a true display of a techno producer's ability to improvise absorbing compositions. Still, Twerk finds that even electronic music audiences are not entirely accepting of the laptop direction. "People are still tied to the question of this music being valid, and they need a visual to tie it in," he says. "People who go out to dance need to have to see something, and one of the arguments against laptop music is that it's not a show. I'm just using a laptop and a controller, so there's nothing to see. You hear that all the time, all over the world, particularly from other producers. A lot of them think you have to lug out all your equipment, and people get disappointed if they go out and don't see some guy with a bunch of stuff doing a bunch of things they don't understand. Electronic music was seen as a revolution, a turn away from doing things the same old way. But we turn towards the things we tried turning away from. People tend to think in old ways." http://www.context.fm/twerk.html http://www.audibleoddities.com DER AUTOMAT
