Hi all Don't recall seeing this mentioned before, if it has, then you have my deepest and most humblest apologies. Bought the DVD of Gladiator other day and watched the bonus disc which has a bit on Hans Zimmer talking about doing the score for the film and he's wearing a Kraftwerk T-shirt (Stickman Robot). Is he a big fan does anyone know? Shaun

sales/promotions

Rob you are right about EXPO 2000.. it reached number 27 in the Top 40 chart which is now a hard thing to do due to the plastic pop machine that is the UK top 40 without any kind of promotion.. Any new album would reach the top 20 in the UK and all their concerts in the UK are sell outs, however I was meaning in a world-wide context. Im sure Ive heard that on the 1991 MIX tour, that a lot of the concerts were only half full.. and I have a bootleg from Switzerland in 1991 and there seems to be hardly any one there!! But perhaps thats due to the bootleg and where it was recorded!! I would like to see Ralf Hutter doing some interviews again.. the thing that I think would make them much cooler is the fact that there are 2 men in their mid 50's making superb electronic music.. A lot of the clubbing fraternity would really dig that.. instead of watching DJ's! Just my opinion!

you know, there used to be a time when everything oh jay _really_ riled me, but one time he mailed me privately, and what he said made me think that perhaps we, as a crowd, should listen to him. it upsets me to hear people criticising kraftwerk's sounds (although i'd never suggest these opinions are invalid), and i fear that when they release new sounds these same opinions will be voiced. kraftwerk are human, they are hurt by negative criticisms - aren't we all? might this stop them from letting us hear their new sounds? thanks for listening latthew >that was in '98 , but what is NOW , eh ??? :-o > >once again , nothin' but wild speculation !!! *G+* ;-) > >however ... many greetinx from oh jay ;-) > _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

Ralf is always invisible anyway. It is not proof that he has given up on Kraftwerk. Florian is MAYBE doing Kraftwerk related things there in Frankfurt, MAYBE not. Ralf is MAYBE working at home in the studio, MAYBE not.

The Other Two
by ncentola 19 Mar '02

19 Mar '02

Well, we have nice discussions here... First of all, thanks a lot, Dirk, for the wonderful pics... we are waiting for a full report... :-) Florian wiht glasses smiling is now the pic in my computer... hahaha You started to talk about Hilpert & Henning, The Other Two... sorry, I could not skip from the name of New Order's Other Two... hehehe I would like to know what you think about them. Of course we didn't know in studio, because with just a single we cannot see if they work nice or not. But considering concerts, I can say something. Hilpert seems to me a hard worker... Actually he control most of rhythm section and video. On Rio de Janeiro soundcheck he put the laser discs on the consoles and played them. And I really like his work on concert... pressing the knobs to change the sound, keeping a warm and sweet rhythm, breaking some patterns and adding others... a really nico work, don't you think? Henning didn't work so hard. Just the bass line. OK, KW basses are now much more intense than 16 years ago, but I really didn't like him. And I have Eloy and TV Junk discs. They are really crap. Why did KW call The Other Two? They don't have a previous work that justified it. peace Nicolau www.kraftworld.hpg.com.br
