Hi everyone, Joe Meek did make great valve compressors etc etc and telstar was a cool record, but in relation to 'Airwaves' I have always thought that it was influenced by The Beach Boys track ' Good Vibrations' ' Anyone who swims with the current will reach the big music steamship; whoever swims against the current may perhaps reach the source' http://www.mp3.com/mainevent _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com

Joe Meek has some electronic music hardware (compressors, tone generators etc) named after him, I remember seeing in a past issue of Future Music magazine. Telstar was the first record I ever bought. It still sounds good I think. Shaun Jan Reetze <Reetze(a)t-online.de> wrote: Quite frankly, I have never heard of Joe Meek, and I do not think the average music fan (or even Kraftwerk fan) has either. Quite (and an appeal to the ignorance of "the average music fan" would be no justification: the record was a huge hit). I don't know whether 'Telstar' really was an influence on 'Airwaves', but the comparison is amusing, and very striking once it's pointed out.

'The Official Adventures OF Grandmaster Flash' will appear through Strut on January 28, 2002. Mixed in with the tunes will be some original snippets of original block party tapes and some exclusive interview footage with Flash himself.

"The Kraftwerk Influence" updated
by Soleil Lapierre 14 Jan '02

14 Jan '02

I've just finished a sweep through all the updates that people have sent me or that I've spotted on the list, and have been left sitting in my inbox for months because I was too busy. http://www.cuug.ab.ca/~lapierrs/creative/kraftwerk/index.html The point of this message is that I credit people who mention leads, unless they ask me not to. If you've posted something to the mailing list about a Kraftwerk tribute, sample, cover or remix and DON'T want your name to appear on my web site, drop me an email and I'll make sure it doesn't. Beers! -- /* Soleil "Ra" Lapierre http://www.cuug.ab.ca/~lapierrs */
