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 *~\^/~*
