Well thanks anyway, dear Oh Jay. Actually, who should my reply go to? It's very strange, I only see your posts... Like I said before, I am new to this Kraftwerk world, and don't want to offend anyone. I think my point with Wolfie is what he does in his personal business should be his, you know? Of course, when you declare it in your published book, well, it becomes public knowledge, then, doesn't it? But I think the thing I am most interested in is the wonderful and enchanting music of Kraftwerk! aah, Ralf and Florian, that's my album! But I haven't heard them all yet, so I still have some treats ahead of me. dreaming to kraftwerk, pat > >From: "Pat Slade" <pslade99(a)hotmail.com> > > > I am only seeing your replies to folks, not the original posts, > >huh ??? what ??? why ??? *indeed_very_puzzled_look_by_now* ?-o >i know that we had lots of problems like that with the ol' majordon'tknow >list , >but NOT with this new mailman list ... afaik !? *still_puzzled_look* :-o > > > although I like you think this is a topic that is Wolfgang's > > and Wolfgang's alone, > >EXACTLY_!!! that's what i also think ... & why i still find some of >"dirki"'s >postings very inappropriate for this list or for ANYBODY , who's NOT >directly >involved in "the history of kw" , so to say !!! *sigh* :-o > > > it's no big deal in my book. > >well ... i wish i could say the same ... but i simply can't !!! :-/ >but that's a diff'rent story , anyway !!! > > > But tell me, how does one see all the posts? > > Do I need to change a setting? > >not that i know of , dear pat !!! :-o > > > Yours in Kraftwerk, > >yours too !!! ;-) > >oh jay - "the dreamer & fool" ;-) > >*~\^/~* > > >_______________________________________________ >Kraftwerk mailing list >Kraftwerk(a)mailman.xmission.com >http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kraftwerk _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

Oh Jay, I am only seeing your replies to folks, not the original posts, although I like you think this is a topic that is Wolfgang's and Wolfgang's alone, it's no big deal in my book. But tell me, how does one see all the posts? Do I need to change a setting?

I would really like to get a scan of the score for TEE If you are interrested I could send you a scan of the score for Computerworld. Its a really bad scan taken from a photocopy but its the scores... /AndrÃ©as ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Luca Dassi" <kraftwerk(a)xeed.com> Reply-To: kraftwerk(a)mailman.xmission.com To: "kraftwerk" <kraftwerk(a)mailman.xmission.com> Subject: [Kraftwerk] Relics Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2002 11:14:52 +0200 While rummaging through old stuff, I found two interesting items: 1) One of my own old business card, autographed on the back by Ralf (Genova concert, "the Mix" tour - I already posted (some years ago) a brief report about the conversation we had that time. 2) The Italian edition of the sheet music for "TEE" - I wonder how many copies were sold. Anyone interested in a scan? BTW one of the lines reads "From station to station - at the Duesseldorf city - meet LepÃ² (!) and David Bowie" - I always thought it said "Iggy Pop"... who is this "LepÃ²"?

If someone in mentally part of Kraftwerk, he is part of the group. If someone is only physically part of Kraftwerk, he is a roboter. To be part of the group Kraftwerk is more than performing on stage. It's a little bit complicated to understand, but I think it is more Kraftwerk-ish to work it out in this extrem positions.

Now we reach a point of insight that W.F. never really was part of Kraftwerk. And so the title of his book "Ich war ein Roboter" ("I was a roboter") gets sens.

Of course, then he "physically" left the band in 1987.

"They are probably some kind of art project that Emil Schult was doing, or just snaps taken for fun.. We all have photos we do for a laugh!" This has been said before on the list. The photos are taken from the German edition of "I was a robot" and they were shot during some filming. If I remember right It was a female filmmaker who was a girlfriend of some of the boys in the band. /AndrÃ©as _________________________________________________________________ Kom med i vÃ¤rldens stÃ¶rsta e-posttjÃ¤nst; MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com/sv

He was a member of Kraftwerk when the photos were done. I am working to get a copy of this mag and as soon as possible I will give the requested information - perhaps with this photo?
