IIRC, and if its any help, they played a 90 mins set @ Electraglide2002. Not saying the set list is definitive though... Even Kraftwerk like a bit of change... ;) >Does anyone know how long >Kraftwerk will be playing for in these festivals?

Kraftwerk on the cover of "Muzik"
by Toby Frith 08 Jan '03

08 Jan '03

For UK collectors, I noticed that Kraftwerk are on the front of this month's "Muzik" magazine. It seems that there are 3 different ones (Madonna, Prince and Kraftwerk) to collect. There's also a cover of Showroom Dummies by Senor Coconut on the CD. The article mentions that they were once on the now sadly-defunct Tomorrow's World regarding a "musical suit".. Is this true or is it another case of a journalist not researching properly?

Big day out show

I might be in Perth for the Big Day out on 2 Feb. Does anyone know how long Kraftwerk will be playing for in these festivals? I doubt it'll be 2 hours, and seeing them for anything less doesn't really seem worth my while forking out x amount of Aus$.

Well, it's that time of year once again, so I'm off for my Winter furlough to Cozumel, Mexico, as brief as it is this time--a mere 8 days. Talk to you soon. Peace.

Pretty clever. Compilation CD 'Klangsmaschine_Soundmachine' (CD-EFA0014876), published on September 20th, 2002 by Ritornell (a subsidiary of Force Inc.), complements the book of the same title written by Marvin Chlada and Marcus S. Kleiner. The disc includes Metamaschine by Twerk, Liebesmaschine by Terre Thaemlitz, Bildmaschine by Tim Hecker, Schreibmaschine by Cordell Clier, Sinnmaschine by John Harding, Reproduktionsmaschine by Taylor Deupree, Simulationsmaschine by SND, Kriegsmaschine by Frank Bretschneider, Klangmaschine by Bizz Circuits, Betriebsanleitung performed by Marvin Chalda / Kleiner, Marcus S., and a cover version of Kraftwerk's "Menschmaschine" by Alva Noto (aka Carsten Nicolai). http://www.ritornell.net/rit/artists/rit26/rit26_2.html ac(a)force-inc.com http://www.efamedien.com/katalog/label.php3?SLabel=Ritornell streaming audio: http://www.force-inc.com/shop/cont_release.php4?releaseKey=RIT026 http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=1:56:39|PM&sql=Atiamqjmqojfa Article from the San Francisco Bay Guardian By Amanda Nowinski: Twerk's step into the future is already in the works. Since purchasing a laptop several months ago, he has taken to performing his music live. He creates a moody, expansive sound through mixing up to eight prerecorded loops a true display of a techno producer's ability to improvise absorbing compositions. Still, Twerk finds that even electronic music audiences are not entirely accepting of the laptop direction. "People are still tied to the question of this music being valid, and they need a visual to tie it in," he says. "People who go out to dance need to have to see something, and one of the arguments against laptop music is that it's not a show. I'm just using a laptop and a controller, so there's nothing to see. You hear that all the time, all over the world, particularly from other producers. A lot of them think you have to lug out all your equipment, and people get disappointed if they go out and don't see some guy with a bunch of stuff doing a bunch of things they don't understand. Electronic music was seen as a revolution, a turn away from doing things the same old way. But we turn towards the things we tried turning away from. People tend to think in old ways." http://www.context.fm/twerk.html http://www.audibleoddities.com DER AUTOMAT
