So don't ask where I got it. ;-) I wish I lived in Austin (Tahiti 80!), but will settle for SF... CRZ - --begin included text The Trans Europe Express samba line is coming to town. Senor Coconut Y Su Conjunto, the alias of producer Uwe Schmidt responsible for last year's zany collection of Latin Kraftwerk covers, El Baile Aleman (The German Dance), will play six rare U.S. shows in March, complete with a full band. The brief tour, which begins March 5 at the South by Southwest music conference in Austin, Texas, coincides with the March 6 reissue of the first Senor Coconut album, 1997's El Gran Baile (The Big Dance), which until now has been unavailable in America. Schmidt, a German native who now resides in Chile, is one of electronic music's most prolific and intriguing artists, having released dozens of albums in the last decade under a plethora of monikers, including Atom Heart, lb — which he used last year for Pop Artificielle, a collection of Vococderized synth-pop covers of songs such as David Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes" and James Brown's "Superbad" — Geez N' Gosh, Erik Satie and Tea Time. After issuing a number of early ambient records in the early '90s on the pioneering label Fax, Schmidt set up a label which he continues to operate, Rather Interesting, for his own experimental productions. Among the Kraftwerk classics transformed by Senor Coconut into meringues, cha-chas or cumbias on El Baile Aleman were "Autobahn" (RealAudio excerpt), "Trans Europe Express" and "The Man Machine" (RealAudio excerpt). On the tour, Schmidt will perform on a bank of electronic equipment, joined by a band that includes a Venezuelan vocalist, a vibraphonist, an upright-bass player, a percussionist and a horn player. The Finnish electro-funk trio Pepe Deluxe will be the opening act on the tour, with Brazilian singer/songwriter Moreno Veloso (son of Caetano) appearing on three dates. Senor Coconut U.S. tour dates, according to his spokesperson: 3.5 - Austin, TX @ Waterloo Brewing Company (with Pepe Deluxe, Tahiti 80, Mellow) 3.17 - Seattle, WA @ I Spy (with Pepe Deluxe, Moreno Veloso) 3.19 - Los Angeles, CA @ El Rey Theater (with Pepe Deluxe, Moreno Veloso) 3.21 - San Francisco, CA @ Roccapulco (with Pepe Deluxe, Moreno Veloso) 3.23 - New York, NY @ Knitting Factory (with Pepe Deluxe) 3.25 - Miami, FL @ Space (Winter Music Conference) - -- Christopher Robin Zimmerman - Only 3,886,439 seconds before WrestleMania 2001! # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info kraftwerk" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email kraftwerk@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Other questions?

Definitely fake! Te LP has a red cover and the Electric Cafe heads on. It has 6 tracks of TG 97 on. Both are very expensive; the CD was DFL 37.50 (GBP 12) and the LP was DFL 50 (GBP 16). Needless to say I steered clear of both.

Hey Matthew, I thought you'd been away in South Africa, not on the Moon! :-) (http://web.bham.ac.uk/busbykg/kraftwerk/FAQ/recordings.html#intro) > Te LP has a red cover and the Electric Cafe heads on.

Either security at Tribal Gathering was hotter than I realised or bootleggers are getting lazier. Caveat emptor!
