In my opinion, Scary Monsters is the last great album of Bowie. After this he released the "popism" Let's Dance, and since then he never did an album with the same quality and energy like Scary Monsters...these record is considered by Bowie a resume of your "Berlin phase" (Low, Lodger and Heroes), and pay attention to the design references in the cover of Scary Monsters to these 3 records... I discovered Kraftwerk in 1979, but I had heard your musics before, and I didn't know who was Kraftwerk...Ruckzuck, by example, I heard like soundtrack from a TV program, Kometenmelodie in a overture of radio program...I discovered later that these musics were from Kraftwerk.

I'm a Kraftwerk fan since 1979, when I heard the vynil "The Man Machine" for the first time. I like electronic music since I was a kid (I'm 36), when I heard Walter Carlos, Giorgio Moroder, Jean Jacques Perrey, Bowie and Eno, etc...and very much rock'n'roll, all records from my father's radio. The site is a hobby, but seriously developed. We do it with pleasure, because we really like Kraftwerk. Dante is a system administrator and an expert in electronic music, I'm a developer of websites. The structure is small, but efficient. We make contact with fans all over the world asking for material, and the site grows and grows. All fans are invited to collaborate, and all the material is free to download. Be our guest.

Thanks. The reason for this organized collection is because tickets are a register from the shows, they are really documents. If you have one not found there, please send to us.
