Toby put;
hmmm - but looking at the old material, they steadfastly refused to be drawn into topics that were of an overtly political nature. >Only "Radioactivity" and "Computer World" are really political, and even then it's from an observer's standpoint. They're not making a statement of intent as it were.
Errm... They have become more politically outspoken through the nineties, what with "Stop" in Radioactivity, and then the Sellafield track... so if they are opposing the usage of technology in war, it is possible they would say so... And of course, it is possible that they would not. Cor, the Sellafield track is possibly the strongest piece of political music I have heard, it sends me into a cold sweat every time I hear it. Particularly (?) live, you're standing in front of the stage, enjoying yourself and all of a sudden, you're reminded that everything is not so jolly... I read in the papers yesterday that the damages in Norway from Sellafield have surpassed those of Chernobyl. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Messenger http://www.msn.no/messenger - Den korteste veien mellom deg og dine venner

That "stop" has been added already in 1981, even "Strahlentod und Mutation". I heard it live at Musikhalle Hamburg - the audience gave a big hand for that. jan -- feel free to visit http://reetze.bei.t-online.de __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
