Anyone else heard "Altamont Super Highway, Revisited" from the Apollo 440 album "Electro Glide in Blue"? Is it just me or is it a remix of Autobahn? I don't mean just the baseline either - the main melody reminds me a lot of Autobahn too, though it's clearly quite different. Or am I hallucinating? -- /* Soleil */

Good morning! =D I laughed until I cried when that CD was released... It's a beatiful little hommage to Kraftwerk, isn't it? Look up the story about the Altamont incident though, creepy stuff. Rolling Stones held a concert there in 1969, with the security issues handled by Hell's Angels MC... / Petter

It's a great album, but I didn't realize it could be considered a homage. I just noticed the similarity of that one track.

Yeah, I heard about that. Bad scene. -- /* Soleil */
