Unfortunately all of the online stores I have visited offer that import box as a backordered item. I went ahead and placed an order anyway.

Right-O!
by Oystein Moe 15 May '02

O gosh, I love being right... btw, Oh Jay mailed me privately and said they were more influenced by Oskar Sala, and that he was more pioneering, whatever that means. Just thought I'd let you know. PS, Oh John how DARE you list my mail adress openly to everyone in the whole wide world like that, what impertinence... (now if Ralf wants to sue me for having an unauthorized cassette tape of an interview featuring his own private voice and info, he'll know where to start...) (*falls down stairs laughing*) If anyone has any of the vinyl only rarities by Telex, that aren't in the box, and can burn me a disc, I'll give you a sailboat. ----------- There was earlier discussion by Oystein Moe <oyst1(a)hotmail.com> and Kevin Busby <busbykg(a)hhs.bham.ac.uk> about who KW were influenced by... well Oystein was right... Ralf did mention Stockhausen and also Fluxus happenings (is this a group?).... Ralf also mentions someone / something else but I can't make it out... he talks to fast AND I don't recognise it.... anyway.... you can all make up you mind if you go to.... www.keepwerking.co.uk/acoustic.php and listen for yourselves... Now maybe kevin CAN update his FAQ? ;o) Oh yes... it is from the 1981 interview that Tommy Vance did. (Does any one know the exact date?) _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com

RE: [Kraftwerk] Fischerspooner

Yeah, I see what u mean tho I've never been a big fan of Depeche Mode-the music was OK but the vocals always spoilt it for me. But then I would have thought that there would have been a Kraftwerk influence on DM anyway. Shaun They've got some great tunes but the main 80s influence I hear in them is actually Depeche Mode, whether they're willing to admit it or not. Erik

Fischerspooner
by Shaun Vaughan 15 May '02

15 May '02

Also, has anyone heard the album, '#1' by New York outfit, Fischerspooner? Its just been released here in the UK. I urge you to check it out if you can - it's 80's electro with a contemporary twist and the KW influence is obvious. It's a nicely produced album and although it's more vocal than most electro, it's more interesting for it. Shaun yes, and I recommand Telex to any KW fan, they are / where great.

RE: [Kraftwerk] festival moment
by Shaun Vaughan 14 May '02

14 May '02

Kevin Sounds like you had a miserable time. I was somewhere else feeling miserable because I COULDNT make it to TG. I'm not a great fan of open air concerts, (I've stood ankle deep in mud at the Reading festival before) but I'm told by someone I know who was there that it was a euphoric moment. Having said that, another young scamp I spoke to one time said he was disapointed to see some OLD MEN on stage making bleeping noises! Shaun But it was all a bit predictable, for anyone who had seen Kraftwerk in concert before... UNTIL they appeared in the new outfits, playing a new tune... _That_ made the otherwise rather gruelling of the general Luton Hoo experience (the closest I've felt to being a PoW) all worthwhile.
