I'm not absolutely sure about the reliability of this info, but as various TV stations have already shown this footage, it seems only logical that such promo tapes exist?

Perhaps someone is able to give an answear to some of them. 1) Exactly where (=which venue) and when (what date) did Kraftwerk play in Chicago 1975? 2) Didn't Kraftwerk give a show in Berlin during their 1981-tour? Venue? Date? 3) When Kraftwerk played in Edinburgh in 1991 (17 July), where did they play? Mats' list says they played at "The Playhouse" and I think this is correct. But there is also information saying they played at "Apollo" Perhaps someone on the list attended one of these shows (at least the Edinburgh-show), and thereby is able to give us more information.

Label is Virgin, Distribution by EMI, the promo was released 4th July 97 and the actual release date is TBC. Here s what the promo sheet of Power promotion had to say: Originally signed to Trickys Durban Poison label after a meeting backstag= e at a David Bowie concert last year, Su Goodacra aka Superior is set to cause mayhem across clubland with her debut release "Coma". Karl Bartos o= f Kraftwerk fame twiddles the knobs on the Komatix mix, an acidic electro ride in an progressive 97 stylee (a welcome return indeed!). On the flip the Pirhana Twins and engineer Mike Grey (of Greed Fame) slow= down the tempo and turn out the superb breakbeat induced Firefly mix. For= a wicked, voxless, funky big beat thang check out the straight up dub on B2= ! CHART PRIORITY!! quote over So what it is like? Its quiet Kraftwerkish in a way but with a hard tranc= e beat hammering away. No too bad. Londoners should be able to get this 2n= d hand cheaply.

It was released as a 12" only on Factory in late 1983, with 4 alternative mixes : "Confusion", "Confused Beats", "Confusion inst", + "Confusion rough mix". The band released it as Blue Monday was still in the charts and it failed miserably. There is also a promo 7" around, somewhere. At the same time the band recorded "Thieves Like Us" (a pure Kw influence there) but released it a year later. In 1987 the band re-recorded it for the "Substance" CD and issued two mixes of the new recording (a 1987 'vocal' on "Substance" and a 'dub' mix can be found on the "Touched By The Hand of God" UK CD). In 1991 a 'DMC mastermix' was issued on the "Volume One compilation" but it is a remix of the 1983 version, not the 1987. In 1995 a "Pump Panel reconstruction" mix of the 1987 was issued on the "rest of New Order" compilation. It's an awful mix. This really is a Neworder question though but I know it came up here. Can anybody help me find a Neworder mailing list? Other than that, apparently Kraftwerk visited the studio where Neworder recorded "Blue Monday" in late 1983 to see if they could utilise the technology there. It was such a dismal and dreary place they abandoned the idea on the spot. I think I read that in a Neworder article - can anyone confirm this? Also, if you can, go to the mIRC "kraftwerk" room and chat there.

Yes, Peter Hook (bassist in New Order) told that little story in the 'History of Rock' PBS special that ROBOT mentioned the other day. That program was the same one which featured the studio footage of Kraftwerk performing "Autobahn" and the commentary on how their music ("Trans-Europe Express" in particular) greatly influenced and helped to create a new genre in "electro-funk" as Afrika Bambaataa (sp?) liked to call it.

It will be shown either tonight or next Monday. I don't know which video it will be, but as Kraftwerk appearances on TV here are so rare, anything goes - I've ever only seen one video by them, 'Musique Non Stop' ten years ago. When Kraftwerk do appear on Norwegian TV, it's always a double it seems. Yesterday the final part of BBC's "Dancing In The Streets" was shown on NRK 2, with the Kraftwerk bit. Then, when this series was originally shown last autumn, in the same week as the final part a Danish programme about the rave culture was shown (also on NRK 2, they are quite good on music). This contained a brief history of techno, and the part about Kraftwerk was illustrated with the beginning of the video to 'The Telephone Call'. Short clips of the 'Musique Non Stop' video was also used throughout the programme.

[ROBOT begs] Could some kind soul scan a copy of this Article and put it their HomePage or Email it to Fans on request? Another excellent suggestion was made recently- someone wanted to put The ROBOTS video on the web. YEAH! I've got 5MB *FREE* with my InterNet account, and I'm sure my own ArtWERK & K-philes and assorted personal fotos & text wont take up nearly that much space- maybe 1-2 megs. So, I'll gladly allocate say 2-3 megs for the Glory of KRAFTWERK! All I need is a guru to help me set up my HomePage. I'm a total IDIOT about HTML and all that stuff. I'm DESPERATE! Oh- is HEDCANDY on this List? YO! Is that *ITEM* of yours still available?? DIBS!! -(I sent you an Email yesterday....)- Check out the KRAFTWERK Marktplatz! AWEsome TitlePage!

It was commissioned for the opening of the **Hacienda club, but only a shortened version appears on PC&L. **Well I think its 586 but I might be wrong!! Yep- I think you're right, the version of 586 (a truly immaculate track) *is* shortened and in September (22nd I think) the long one will be released in the UK. The version will be .... 22 MINUTES LONG ! IT'll easily be the best thing New Order have had released for them (well - you can't say it's a new release can you ?) for ages. Staying on the Kraftwerk collaboration theme - doesn't Karl Bartos play keyboards on the last LFO album ('Advance'), and wasn' t the track 'Kombat Drinking' inspired by a night out with him ? Sorry if this has been mentioned before , but new to the list and all that etc ..... Can anyone tell me where in the UK I can get tickets for Linz ? I'd love to go to the German concert as well , but as I'm leaving my job soon -- holiday is turning out to be a problem ! Also a few months ago you couldn't move in the UK for cheap copies of 'The Mix' cd - now they've all gone up in price again (obviously related to the activity in the Kraftwerk camp) - anyone know where this is still selling cheap and do mail order ? cheers, and hello to everyone ..

It really has become a different place, with a new regular crowd, plus the old stalworts like myself, scott, robert krenn, fermin goiriz and ROBOT!
