The remixer/producer of that track is Francis Kervorkian, who shamelessly filched the drum track from his Kraftwerk production jobs. The sampling is *very* obviously from a KW number on the 12" remixes of World In My Eyes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Der Automat" <automat@offcampus.net> To: "Kraftwerk.hu" <kraftwerk@activerecord.com>; "Kraftwerk Mail List" <kraftwerk@mailman.xmission.com>; "kraftwerkfanclub" <kraftwerkfanclub@yahoogroups.com>; "kraftwerkfans" <kraftwerkfans@yahoogroups.com>; "kraftwerkradioaktivitat" <kraftwerkradioaktivitat@yahoogroups.com>; "ElectricCafe" <ElectricCafe@yahoogroups.com>; "Kraftwerkpastpresent" <Kraftwerkpast_present@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 12:15 PM Subject: [Kraftwerk] Depeche Mode homaged Kraftwerk http://ftp.planet.it/dmstory/oct2.htm 'World In My Eyes' had in fact been recorded very early on during the Milan session and, perhaps for this reason, displayed familiar Depeche elements linking it with previous albums. It was completed in London and with it's 'drop' 3rd verse and use of vocal double-tracking to fill out and build the later choruses, was probably the most 'electro' sounding track on the L.P. - something of a homage to Kraftwerk, in a rhythmical sense at least. Laughing in the face of criticism that electronic music was 'soulless' and would only appeal to a small eclectic audience, it's success exhibited one of Depeche Mode's most fundamental philosophy's. "The interesting thing is that over the years, DM just carried on producing music in our usual way and the band has moved in and out of fashion, depending on what's trendy at the time. It's always preferable to remain true to your ideals and maintain one's integrity rather than jump on the latest bandwagon." --unquoted-- DER AUTOMAT _______________________________________________ Kraftwerk mailing list Kraftwerk@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kraftwerk
