[Kraftwerk] Black-backed Computer World + Karaoke The Model + HK Charts.
by rhodri kasperbauer 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

Does anyone know about cds with a black (rather than the usual silver) playing side...what's the technology here. I thought they were blank, but they do play very well!. Just found one from Taiwan (?) for Computer World. It comes from the same pressing plant as regular Taiwan cds. The artwork for the sleeve is an exact copy of the original, while the inside booklet is much more colorful. The only other 'black-backed' CD the seller had was one for Iggy Pop's Raw Power (sound quality is excellent for both). SOundtracks in up from 11 to 9 in the 'International Artists Chart' for EMI Hong Kong. Trying to get a true picture of copies sold in HK is probably impossible because of the highly subjective nature (sales) of the record industry here. 'The Model' is being used to advertise a forthcoming Hong Kong tv programme about U.S. models. The original long station promo featured the song playing with 'karaoke' words at the bottom of the screen, now they're using a shorter version with different model clips. Best Wishes, Kasperbauer ... PS - klingklang hasn't replied to the emails about incorrect + missing order in over a month. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Autobahn
by Der Automat 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

A documentary on German Autobahn was recently aired in History Channel. The programme describes its construction and development. It is almost surely a coincidence but by watching the documentary you realize that Autobahn lyrics has very similarities to Nazi propaganda of what such a highway would involve. By the way, incredibly Kraftwerk's Autobahn is not played in the soundtrack. Below you can check out some details about the documentary (some are in Spanish) and a book (which is mentioned) related. http://www.historychannel.com/perl/print_book.pl?ID=88752 http://www.historychannel.com/perl/print_book.pl?ID=110255 http://www.canalhistoria.com/es/programacion/pmes.php?mes_s= http://www.canalhistoria.com/es/programacion/mas_programacion.php?tgenero=ci vi http://www.canalhistoria.com/es/programacion/fr_programacion.php?housenumber =ID000530&tgenero=civi&fecha=31-08-2003&pmes= http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/ix=books&rank=%2Bpmrank& fqp=keywords%01autobahn&nsp=score%01proj-unit-sales%02bin-fields%01none&sz=1 0&pg=2/ref=s_b_np/103-2996453-0268602 American Autobahn by Mark Rask, Mark Stehrenberger (Illustrator) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0966913604/qid=1062351483/sr=1 -11/ref=sr_1_11/103-2996453-0268602?v=glance&s=books DER AUTOMAT

I think the metal layer underneath the plastic is coated somehow. Remember the gold audiophile CDs?

I've got mine from amazon.co.uk, and it promptly arrived on 08/09. The decision of releasing the CD on different dates, had a direct impact on American market figures. Don't forget that Soundtracks was # 1 at amazon.co.uk for a solid week or so. Bet you anything, we had a lot to do with it. E
