Kraftwerk members flow chart
by -- -- 26 Jun '02

26 Jun '02

Hey, I found this new flow chart on the career of Kraftwerk and all (?) of their members through the years. The introduction is in swedish, but the chart (a pdf file) is for everyone. Check the article at http://www.fatbankroll.nu/ under the ARTIKLAR heading for text and pictures and all the good stuff. Or straight to the pdf, if you are that kind of people: http://www.fatbankroll.nu/showarticle.php3?id=1024412597 OK./Aloy. (btw, I sent a mail about this to the list yesterday, but it never surfaced again. If it does, i apologise for being redundant.) _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

Client
by Der Automat 26 Jun '02

26 Jun '02

The following is quoted from Belgian music magazine Side-Line newsletter nº 146: [21 June 2002] New girlsduo soon to be launched Client is a new band fronted by two ladies which is already creating a fuzz before a single disc has been released. Fronted by two women, 'Client A' and 'Client B' (no, we won't reveal who, but we can reveal that both have had a history in music already), the band offers a mix between Kraftwerk, Ladytron and the pumping beats from the female fronted electropop band Epsilon Minus (check the download below). First mentionned on Electronically Yours, a column on Backwash.com (see the link below), Mute label boss Daniel Miller has in the meantime been playing one of Client's newly recorded tracks, entitled "Harder Sex", at a recent DJ set in London, an indication that this band is bound to make it. To make the mystery complete, their manager, known as 'Client F' is also a member of a pioneering band, which is sometimes referred to as DM... Check the MP3 below to see what you think of it! Read our news of June 17th to put 1 and 1 together...

I'm sure [if this is a fact] that he would of tweaked his schedule around in order to fit Kraftwerk's. Unfortunately for Jean Michel and the rest of the world, he happened to ask for KW's *help* around a time when they were the busiest in decades with Wolfgang's lawsuit, Expo's music and controversy, etc...
