YosepH man-machine

The following is what New Musical Express has said about Luke Vibert's new album YosepH: "A joyful ode to the bubble and squelch.. A lucid smudging of primitive Chicago house with glistening Detroit electronics... Man and machine in perfect harmony" 8/10 (NME). -- unquoted. -- DER AUTOMAT

KW in Bollywood
by MuzikJunky 20 Oct '03

20 Oct '03

Has anyone here seen the film "Koi... Mil Gaya" (I Found Someone), which was released a few months ago? Besides it being the first Hindi-language sci-fi film (with 6 songs), the melody that the main character uses to send a message from Earth is a slight variation of "Trans-Europe Express"! I heard it, and at first I was like, "Why does this sound familiar?" then I realized what it was, and a shiver went down my spine. Weird, ain't it? Peace.

Re: new and old lists
by ian tyson 18 Oct '03

I previously stated that I do not want to subscribe to numerous lists, that I believe one KW list should suffice. I don't have a problem with this list being unmoderated. I do however accept that it is a problem that new members can not be admited. If it is really the case that this problem cannot be resolved then maybe this list is not viable. Perhaps the problem was a result of a previous member, Oh Jay, starting flame wars with the stated intention to destroy this list. Perhaps he has now achieved that goal. It is very sad that the long running original KW list should cease to exist when there appears to be a growing interest in KW. Instead of all the original members being dispersed around a multitude of lists, or causing repitition by posting to them all (or in my case not even bothering to become a member of any new list) perhaps this list can be reborn. Instead of joining the young pretenders perhaps every member of this list could agree on what is good about it and what is wrong with it and launch a brand new list that would be the continuation of this one. This is not to say there is anything wrong with the newer lists (I wouldn't know) but since most people seem to want to have the original list but accept that it is no longer viable, then we should all agree on mass to change. If all members move to a brand new one then we keep the original kW list intact but with a new address. It is the members that make the list. We could claim to have the original KW list but it has changed address. Then invite the members of the other lists. ian t _________________________________________________________________ Find a cheaper internet access deal - choose one to suit you. http://www.msn.co.uk/internetaccess

One simple reason
by ncentola 18 Oct '03

18 Oct '03

Dear Soleil I will give you just one simple reaosn to move to the new list. I keep my old mail (ncentola(a)terra.com.br) JUST becuase this list is on. Considering I cannot change my address, and cannot subscribe with my new mail, I´m loosing money with this list, because I pay for the address. Ok, another one: why keep a list where NO ONE is more on it or is not posting? The old guys left long ago the list, after Oh Jay flame battles. Many people simply get out or just send the messages to trash can. So why keep it? peace Nicolau www.kraftworld.hpg.com.br > After some conversations I had last week, I no longer see it as an issue > of one list versus another. Why talk of "moving" from this list to the new > one when we can be subscribed to both? > > -- > /* Soleil */ >
