I never understood the two robots of Fritz Hilpert in the sleeve artwork, were Kraftwerk obssessed with remaining a quartet? Rob. _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com

It does not necessarily follow that Kraftwerk are their only influence in terms of adopting a robotic persona, but I find Digital Love to be an obvious homage to Computer Love. But many punters these days have never heard of Kraftwerk so they are unlikely to notice. Daft Punk do not "show" their faces in public anymore, which is quite similar to Underground Resistance, so perhaps they draw equal inspiration from the UR and Kraftwerk in terms of PR.

Re: [Kraftwerk] Strange T.E.E. 7" single

>>> Indeed it is a US release. It was released in 1995 by CEMA, a Capitol budget label who was also responsible for the 1993 reissues of a bunch of Kraftwerk LPs. This single is part of their "Collectables - Back To Back Hits"-series, which had two artists "back to back" on them. <<< Actually, CEMA was the old name of EMI's distribution arm in the USA; it stands for Capitol EMI Manhattan Angel. So-called "special products" were released under the CEMA Special Products label. In the early 1990s, it was changed to EMD, for EMI Music Distribution. Peace.

It is a commonly held belief that Bowie once asked Kraftwerk to be his band during the 1970's. They did not provide a reply. Rob. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.

Some of his music with the Tornados was considered quite unique. Tracks recorded by the Tornados include 'Telstar' (first English artists to have a number one in the US), Early Bird (another tune to celebrate the launch of the Early Bird satellite), Robot, plus many others with a space theme. Off topic from Kraftwerk, but on topic for Joe Meek: The Tornados original drummer turned down an invitation to be the first drummer for Led Zeppelin; Another member of a later incarnation of the Tornados was Ritchie Blackmore...
