Robert Moog was in Madrid yesterday giving a lecture on his Minimoog and he will be from tomorrow at Sonar in Barcelona. Today he will be giving a concert at 'sala Moog' (Moog hall) in Barcelona. And on Saturday he will speak about his inventions at Sonar. Incidentally he mentioned Kraftwerk in an interview at Spanish newspaper ABC: "We always worked with very serious musicians (Chick Corea, Keith Emerson, Herbie Hancock, The Chemical Brothers, Kraftwerk and The Cure) who what they wanted was to use this sound qualities of my instrument [...]". http://www.sonar.es http://www.abc.es DER AUTOMAT

RE: [KRAFTWERK] Kraftwerk MM article

The first images of this black and white movie are accompanied by "Heroes" sang in German and English by David Bowie. The film, which had its premiere on 4 July 1980 in West Germany, was released in video on September 20th, 1993. By the way, Christopher Petit also filmed 'Radio On Remix' in 1998, and in 2002 a film called 'London Orbital' which describes a voyage of discovery on London's orbital motorway (Autobahn?!), the M25. DER AUTOMAT ------------ ^*^ <MonsieurNafoute(a)Tele2.fr> wrote: Chritopher Petit did a very rare and interesting road-movie in 1980 "Radio on" which contained several tunes from Radioactivity and Trans Europe Express. The hero of the film whose dead brother was a kraftwerk fan is constantly listening to Kraftwerk cassettes in his car. "Ohm sweet ohm" is the music heard in the final scene and end titles. By the way, Sting is playing a singing mechanic in this film

Kraftwerk MM article
by Electram 15 Jun '04

15 Jun '04

Hello to all, Recently we received an article published at Melody Maker (UK - 1978) containing a kind of "screenplay" about a "Kraftwerk movie". Take a look at: http://kraftwerk.technopop.com.br/magazines_england_70.php Of course, it's a playing about the group, but the director Christopher Petit really exists (a fast look at IMDB - www.imdb.com brings some informations about him, if it's the same...). I remember to see this article at eBay some time ago, and since then I have thought about what kind of material was there. Now we have the chance to see it. If anyone have more comments or informations about this, they're welcomed. Marcelo Duarte http://kraftwerk.technopop.com.br Brasil

Hey... quite like the audio on the "create" page of Wolfgang's new site... looks promising for his new album. Can anyone translate the "learn" page into English? The English link version doesn't seem to be active yet, and you can't grab the text for a babelfish version. Also, the new German edition of "Ich War Ein Roboter" (with the audio CD) appears to be available at Amazon.de. Can anyone comment on the CD contents? Staggboy

The Catalogue on eBay
by Mark J Stagg 03 Jun '04

Has anyone noticed how every single copy of "The Catalogue" box that has appeared on eBay - and I've counted 8 of them - have all mysteriously had their auctions ended and removed from the listings well before the given end date? Either people are wading in with some pretty outlandish offers to end the auctions early (one was already at £380 GBP before it disappeared), or someone at EMI is recalling their promos, as is their right. I suspect the latter... can anyone clarify? Has anyone actually bought one... if so can they comment on the audio quality? It seems that Kraftwerk have changed their minds about the content of these remasters, and consequently put the release date back from the originally announced May, to September. Has anyone got any solid information about the content... whether there will be bonus tracks or not, and reissues of those first 3 albums etc? There seems to be some contradictory reports around...

Bartos at the WGT
by Der Automat 03 Jun '04

03 Jun '04

(Please correct me if I am wrong but) apparently Johnny Marr (The Smiths, Electronic) himself was playing on stage with Karl Bartos at the Wave Gothic Treffen Festival in Leipzig on May 30th. They did not play any Elektric Music song, though. According to my brother (he played at the same festival as Shorai), Karl was very unpleasant with the people who approached him to ask for autographs and photos. By the way, in the album Communication, at approximately 2 minutes and 17 seconds of the song Life there is a (beginner's) mistake consisting of that Bartos plays two keys at the same time.
