Telex's lifestyle
by Der Automat 16 May '02

16 May '02

The other day re-listening to my Telex records I found a song entitled "Peanuts" which reminds me alot of Elektric Music's "Lifestyle". I am sure Bartos did get the idea of 'sample vowels' (you know the "aaah, eeeh, brrr, faaa, mmm, laarrr, feuugh, sss, crrr, jouugh") from this track. In addition Elektric Music's "TV" single cover is pretty close to the cover of Telex's "Twist A Saint Tropez" album. http://www.telex.be DER AUTOMAT ®

festival moment
by Nicolau Centola 16 May '02

16 May '02

>Kevin wrote No, not really - Kraftwerk's set made it all worthwhile. But other than that it was THUD, THUD, THUD, THUDding techno blasting out of show tents in a compound. After Kraftwerk's set, the choice was to stay outside in the cold (the temperature dropped a lot that particular night!) or be blasted with the metronomic music inside one of the tents. We chose freezing, but at least managed to find somewhere to sit the night out. Also, maybe it's normal practice, but the audiences were crammed in... I found the experience gruelling. But it was a good set by Kraftwerk, and no doubt I would have enjoyed the sets by Orbital and others, had it been possible to squeeze into the arena tents to catch a glimpse. Actualy I was tehre and that was my first experience with live Kraftwerk, and I could not believe in my eyes/ears! It was fantastic. I had a press pass but had some problems with my camera that almost made me lost the opening act. In the end, I could see and take some pictures. I would liked to watched Orbital, but there was no space on the tent. Yes, the temperature dropped a lot, and I slept at Main Tent and woke up with Daft Punk in the loudspeakers... amazing sound... I liked some other concerts, like Sven Vath and Cornershop, for example. For a brazilian guy, it was an unique experience to have all these artists at the same place. But I lost Fluke, Sasha L Garnier and many others. But could see the godfathers of all e-music. Nicolau www.kraftworld.hpg.com.br

>>> Actually, I haven't seen the movie....is it worth buying? <<< In the US it's called "Breakin'," and it's a horrible film, produced by the (thankfully) defunct schlock company, the Cannon Group. Good dancing and an early Ice-T electro track, however. Peace.

I saw the movie when it was first released. I think I spent the whole movie waiting for Linda Blair's head to spew green vomit and turn 180 degrees. It was an embarrassing affair then so God knows how it will look today. Shaun Breakdance - The Movie will be rereleased on May 27 Actually, I haven't seen the movie....is it worth buying? Greetings from Sweden! Mats
