Re: Analog vs. Digital

i think that peo was mostly right with what he assumed in his message about analog vs. digital !!! *sigh* :-o after kw finished their sessions for the "electric cafe" album in n. y. c. , they headed back to their safe kling klang studio in d-dorf to start upgradin' / updatin' it with the newest & best digital equipment the market @ that time has to offer ... & spend WAY_TOO_MANY_TIME on doin' jus' this , than to actually werk on some really new material ... & not jus' on their new digital versions of their ol' traxxx to release "the mix" album in 1991 !!! :-/ that's also one of the main reasons , why wolfgang ( who's contribution simply wasn't necessary anymore ... as the percussion player that he jus' was ... in ralf & florian's minds !!! :-/ ) & karl ( who's a creative person with his very own ideas ... but with not so much patience & inclination to upgrade / update the kling klang studio with digital equipment , than to werk on new songs instead !!! ;-) & also emil ( who was completely "unimportant" in the upgrade / update process !!! :-o ) become practically "unemployed" members of kw @ that time !!! :-/ what kw really needed durin' this process were some skilled sound engineers like fritz & henning ... & that's also the main reason , why those two became kw's new "employees" in the end ... & wolfi , karl & emil became "useless" for ralf & florian !!! *sigh* :-o anyway ... i still suppose that kw use A_LOT of older or even newer analog equipment ... like the doepfer instruments - only for example !!! *sly_grin* ;-) however ... many greetinx , oh jay ;-) ~*~ jvr network program - june 2002 : http://mitglied.lycos.de/cybernetx/program.html ( incl. live stream via internet ) studio webcam - live : http://stream.ok-bremen.de/studio.html radio show archive : http://friends.schallreflektor.com/ohjay/alien_disco playlist archive : http://mitglied.lycos.de/cybernetx/playlists brand new website release soon @ http://www.jointventureradio.net & also http://www.jointventureradio.org *~\^/~*

>Another group influenced by both Pink Floyd and KW was The Rockets - Not to mention The Orb? The Kraftwerk influence is less obvious than the Floyd one but I can hear it.

No offense to you, Mr. Oh Jay, but I'd much rather be at a list where action occurs, regardless of how rude/snide the people may be. -------------------- Well I see the other list on Yahoo more as an archiving space, for (hopefully) interesting messages pinched from the xmission group, or a place to upload internet bookmark, photos, sounds.... -------------------------------------------------------- You too can have your own email address from Eurosport. http://www.eurosport.com

Neonlights Europe Endless Tashchenrechner
by John Shilcock 08 Jun '02

08 Jun '02

Various list members have voiced their delight in Europe Endless and Neonlights. Well on the tribute CD "The Radioactive Tribute To Kraftwerk" there is a version which I can only describe as traditional Japanese ;o) The track on the CD starts as Europe Endless then moves on to Neonlights. I placed an extract on a page of my web site at www.keepwerking.co.uk/acoustic.php for those who are interested. Talking of Pocket Calculator.... also on that CD is a version of Tashchenrechner (The German version of it) performed by Dhiva (I presume a Japanese artist - there seems to be lots of web sites about her - I think ;o) ... Now she sounds as if she could push the right buttons to make me play a melody!.... Oh yes... I'm married... so that just wont do! ;o))) Yes... there's also an extract of that too at www.keepwerking.co.uk/acoustic.php Keep Werking John www.keepwerking.co.uk
