Video trivia

Did anyone notice that the video snippet from the "Tour de France 2003" promo video on kraftwerk.de was slightly different to the full length version that replaced the snippet in the meantime? Does anyone know if the initial version exists in full length? Thanks, Klaus Zaepke

Karl where Karl is due

Mark said: >Karl is all over The Mix ; he just left the band before the record was >released And when we know the speed at which R+F work, we also understand that it was as much as they could do to remove his name from the credits and change his robot to an extra Fritz, within those few months between his departure and the release. I'm confident that they didn't do much to the Musik Data Mix after he went... Were those gigs in November? I thought they were earlier... That's just me then. oystein _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail snakker ditt språk! http://www.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/sbox?rru=dasp/lang.asp - Få Hotmail på norsk i dag

Re: [Kraftwerk] The Mix! Is it an original album or not?
by Enrique Correa 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

The Mix was a remix album, not an album of new songs. Ralf was commissioned with putting together a best of, and he decided to do so, but with an up to date feeling, and I give him credit for that, but in all honesty, to me The Mix sounds like a tour rehearsal. They just had new toys to practice with. Electric Cafe was truly their last album of new songs before TdF Soundtracks. I've read in this list that someone wanted Neon Lights out of an hypothetical The Mix II. I agree, but not because I dislike the song, much to the contrary, I love Neon Lights, it's just that such a masterpiece should be left alone, and not recreated at all. E PS: Jean Michel Jarre is about to release a sort of The Mix of his own, that is not an album of new songs, but remixed, recreated songs. His newest album, of newest songs is called Geometry of Love. Very sensual cover, BTW.

As evil as I am, I was hoping I could download the .rm files to my computer (only until I receive my copy of "Tour de France '03 Soundtracks" early next month), but I can't have everything. At least I can listen to the complete tracks until they shut this down (which will probably be soon). Thanks, Len Cleavelin -- Are there new Latin words for things that the ancient Romans didn't have? Well, Radio Finland (or in Latin, Radiophonia Finnica Generalis) broadcasts Nuntii Latini ("Latin announcements") in Latin via short-wave radio and by the Tela Totius Terrae (World Wide Web). Exactly why they thought it was a good idea to broadcast the news in Latin is another story, probably having something to do with very long winters and a steady supply of Finlandia vodka. --SDSTAFF bibliophage [Straight Dope Science Advisory Board]

Number of tracks
by Tomasz Kirmuc 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

I spite of 12 titles on the cover, you receive "only" 6 *real* songs (each long song with some 'variations' around the main theme has been split into few indexes with separate titles): 1) : Prologue / Etape 1 / Etape 2 / Etape 3 / Chrono [19:12] 2) : Vitamin [8:09] 3) : Aero Dynamik / Titanium [8:25] 4) : Elektro Kardiogramm [5:16] 5) : La Forme / Regeneration [10:45] 6) : Tour De France [5:12] (Just like in case of TEE / Metal On Metal / Franz Schubert or Numbers / Computer World 2) TK
