Jarre-Kraftwerk collaboration
by Kadmark Mats 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

Hi! >From www.jarre.net: Did you know? The song 'Je me souviens' from the new Metamorphoses album was originally to be recorded together with Kraftwerk. Unfortunately the schedules of Jean Michel Jarre and Kraftwerk didn't match so the collaboration didn't go ahead. /Mats www.electron.tk

-----Message d'origine----- From: "John Shilcock" <john(a)keepwerking.co.uk> Subject: [Kraftwerk] Fw: Kraftwerk Concerts Just for your info.. this is the reply I got from emimusic.de after asking them if they could confirm those French Kraftwerk dates....

Sincerely, Das EMI Team ------------------------------------------ It's understandable if the concerts are not marketing an album or other release that EMI wouldn't know. I'd guess they're just one-off concerts arranged directly between the promoter and Kraftwerk's management and nothing to do with the company who distributes their recordings. -------------------------------------------------------- You too can have your own email address from Eurosport. http://www.eurosport.com

Coool -- I notice the Expo Remix video has appeared on the .de website. I don't mind losing the Musique Non Stop section, as it hadn't worked for Apple computers for many months. -------------------------------------------------------- You too can have your own email address from Eurosport. http://www.eurosport.com

Apple's computer voices
by richard.marston＠eurosport.com 22 Jun '02

I recently found out that the electronic voice used on some records (most notably by Air on their new album) is a standard straight out of the box preset on an Apple computer. If I remember correctly one of the other 'preset voices' is called Ralph. Can anyone confirm this?" Apple's text to speech program works with their SimpleText and WorldText utility software programs. There are currently only two versions: English (with Americanized pronunciation) and Spanish. Adding punctuation marks causes pauses in the speech, and I have found that it is necessary to use strings of full points to create natural pauses between paragraphs or within sentences! Speed of pronunciation can also be set, though only as a pre-set global command which cannot be varied during 'playback'. I don't believe Kraftwerk were directly involved with Apple; rather it may have been a back-handed compliment by Apple programmer's. Most of the selection of available 'voices' are pretty useless, sort of novelty voices that kids might find amusing, though the one that sounds like Stephen Hawking's robo-voice is OK (maybe that's the 'Ralph' one; I can't remember and the TtS software isn't installed on my work computer, only he one at home). I notced hat the Mexican Spanish TtS has a voice named 'Carlos'. So in the same vein, I wonder if this is anything to do with Santana? ;-) -------------------------------------------------------- You too can have your own email address from Eurosport. http://www.eurosport.com

The Music Makers
by Paul Mennes 22 Jun '02

22 Jun '02

The Music Makers is out. I bought it on thursday (german version, I don't know if there's an english version). Nothing new, a few minor mistakes (I think) a few nice photo's but nothing spectacular if you've read the other books on KW. The only new fact for me was that Organisation spelled backwards is Noitasinagro, the title of the last track on that LP. But it's a nice read.
