The mixes are tasteless and techniqueless. It's better this dude, DJ 7 Up, go in for another thing than to remix (or mix) records, specially the Kraftwerk's. The sound quality is the worst I heard in the last years. He has recorded this remixes from the vinyls but he hasn't clean them before. I recommend you DON'T BUY IT! It's horrible. This is a brutal assassination of the Kraftwerk's music. The countercover says "All Rights by Kling-Klang-Music For Promotion Only Not For Sale". What a nerve!

My name is Stephan Schumacher, I´m 30 years old and a member of the list since 4 weeks. ´really like it, that there are some nerds like me thinking and discussing ´bout good music. I live in Hamburg and, sorry, haven´t join the lawcase so far (hollydays!) I got a little question: I remember, when I was a teenager, and the "Neue Deutsche Welle" was ON TOPIC, that they showed Clips of the biggest stars of germany on TV. They showed a video of the original "Die Roboter"- song, where they wore the LP- Outfits (Black trousers, red shirts) and ties with integrated lamps, where the light was wandering down the tie. I´ve never seen that Video in my life again and am not able to get a video- collection anywhere. Does anybody know or can give me a hint ? By the way I don´t think that We should go on discussing wether mails are "stupid, off topic, boring, silly" or written by less informed persons/ members. This is "www", suckers, isn´t it ? Doesn`t anybody has the right to say or ask what he/ she wants or is interested in ?

Yes this is off-topic however a little humour for the werkers should be tolerated. (no offense to our German werkers) The European Union commissioners have announced that agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European communications, rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five year phase plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for short). In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c". Sertainly, sivil servants will reseive this news with joy. Also the hard "c" will be replaced with "k". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced by "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20 per sent shorter. In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent "e"s in the languag is disgrasful, and they would be the next to go. By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" by "z" and "w" by "v". During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters. After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech ozer.

Stampa Alternativa, AFAIK, is an Italian publisher doing books about alternative music, often with accompanying records with rare and/or unreleased material. Frequently the books have parallel text in English and Italian, possibly German as well. I have a book myself about Einst=FCrzende Neubauten, with an exclusive interview with Blixa Bargeld an= d a 3" CD single with the two tracks "Nag Nag Nag" and "W=FCste (Ballet version)", the former not available on any other release; I have seen and read other Stampa Alternativa books about Joy Division (two or three of them), New Order, The Cure, Sisters of Mercy and Soft Cell. These books may not always be legal in the strictest sense of the word, but they are well done and often seem to be written in cooperation with the artists.=20 This would also mean that this, technically, is a book with accompanying CD, not a CD with a bonus book... Ah well, better not say too much before I have it in my hand.

Message From ENRIQUEC@heraeusmtd.com: "More news on the *NEW* album" - ------------------------------------------------------------- Kraftwerk To Release First Album In Nine Years New collection includes instrumental and demo versions of classics, plus a previously unreleased track. Contributing Editor Corey Moss reports Wed., May 10, 8:46 AM EDT - -------------------------------------------------------------- German electronic-music pioneers Kraftwerk will release their first album in nine years next week. A Short Introduction to Kraftwerk, a collection of seven previously unreleased versions of the group's early classics, will be released along with an 88-page CD-sized booklet by Sonic Books. The material will be available in the U.S. only by mail order from various UK companies. "The response to this record has been massive," said Phil Walton, president of Music Non Stop Sales (www.music-non-stop.co.uk), one of the distributors of the CD. "I have Kraftwerk fans from all over the world ordering this." Kraftwerk's core is the duo of Ralf Hutter and Florian Schneider, whose notorious secrecy has lent them a reputation for unpredictability. The band just obtained the copyrights to the seven songs from their label, EMI, because they were written more than 20 years ago, Music Non Stop Sales said in a statement. Considered a major influence on artists ranging from chameleonic rocker David Bowie to pioneering rap DJ Afrika Bambaataa to big-beat techno band the Chemical Brothers, Kraftwerk embarked on a surprise world tour in 1998, prompting fans to speculate about new material for the two years since. The group answered earlier this year with the single "Expo 2000," their first official release since the 1991 remix album, The Mix. A Short Introduction to Kraftwerk features more than 45 minutes of music, including an early demo version from 1977 of their #1 UK hit "Model" (RealAudio excerpt), from The Man-Machine. Other tracks include a re-recorded, longer version of Radioactivity's "Uranium," a demo version of Trans-Europe Express' "Hall of Mirrors" and an instrumental version of "Radioactivity" that's drastically different from the 1975 original. The album opens with "It's More Fun to Compute," originally recorded in 1981 for a planned 12-inch that was never released. A six-minute remake of their hit "Autobahn" (RealAudio excerpt of original version), originally intended for The Mix but never released, also is included. It, too, captures a different side of the song by nixing the vocal track. The album's accompanying book includes a history of the band, excerpts from rare interviews and a full discography that includes promo-only releases and bootlegs. Hutter and Schneider met as music students at the Dusseldorf Conservatory in 1968 and formed Kraftwerk (German for "power station") soon after. Although their early albums, such as Kraftwerk 1 and 2 and Ralf & Florian, are considered some of the first contemporary electronic-music recordings, it was their 1974 album Autobahn that first explored their landmark concept of machine meshing with man and introduced a mainstream pop sensibility. It was followed by four albums (all issued in German and English versions), ending with 1981's Computer World (RealAudio excerpt of title track), that established the group as peerless techno innovators.
