>Does anyone know, more exactly than this, >what they're talking about when refering to a confirmation? Oh Jay said: >anyway ... WHAT'S_THE_SOURCE ( NOT the recitation , i. e. the side-line >newsletter etc. !!! ) of this doubtful information ??? > >*indeed_VERY_CURIOUS* Yeah, that was my question about...Does anyone know why this people say that there is something "confirmed"? Does the Lords R+F opened their cybernetic-holy mouth? Does the guys of this newsletter have any credibility? Anyway I know a lot of us will spend this summer in doubt for this shit thanks to some silly bastard from "la cite de la musique" which maybe thinked "KW are not a very busy band so I'll call them in august or the first days of September and they'will surely come"...on the other side every time comes more strongly to me a vision, call it prophecy or whatever you want...a lot of guys came from all europe (and far away) going to Paris just to see dummies playing, I am thinking on it and everytime gains more sense...Would be a great ending? Completely substituted by machines...and let`s be realistic "mein droogies" think about what KW did the last 10 years...a full team of concert-playing-dummies may give us more "satisfactions" than the real ones...but... ah fuck this damn doubt is killing me...

Kraftwerk members flow chart
by -- -- 26 Jun '02

26 Jun '02

Hey, I found this new flow chart on the career of Kraftwerk and all (?) of their members through the years. The introduction is in swedish, but the chart (a pdf file) is for everyone. Check the article at http://www.fatbankroll.nu/ under the ARTIKLAR heading for text and pictures and all the good stuff. Or straight to the pdf, if you are that kind of people: http://www.fatbankroll.nu/showarticle.php3?id=1024412597 OK./Aloy. (btw, I sent a mail about this to the list yesterday, but it never surfaced again. If it does, i apologise for being redundant.) _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

Client
by Der Automat 26 Jun '02

26 Jun '02

The following is quoted from Belgian music magazine Side-Line newsletter nº 146: [21 June 2002] New girlsduo soon to be launched Client is a new band fronted by two ladies which is already creating a fuzz before a single disc has been released. Fronted by two women, 'Client A' and 'Client B' (no, we won't reveal who, but we can reveal that both have had a history in music already), the band offers a mix between Kraftwerk, Ladytron and the pumping beats from the female fronted electropop band Epsilon Minus (check the download below). First mentionned on Electronically Yours, a column on Backwash.com (see the link below), Mute label boss Daniel Miller has in the meantime been playing one of Client's newly recorded tracks, entitled "Harder Sex", at a recent DJ set in London, an indication that this band is bound to make it. To make the mystery complete, their manager, known as 'Client F' is also a member of a pioneering band, which is sometimes referred to as DM... Check the MP3 below to see what you think of it! Read our news of June 17th to put 1 and 1 together... Download "Client n°1" by Client http://www.client-online.net/client_no1.mp3 Download "Freedom" by Epsilon Minus http://www.epsilonminus.com/bernard/freedom.mp3 Epsilon Minus http://www.epsilonminus.com Backwash http://www.backwash.com/content.php?id=28 --unquote-- Obviously 'Client F' is Andrew Fletcher from Depeche Mode.

I'm sure [if this is a fact] that he would of tweaked his schedule around in order to fit Kraftwerk's. Unfortunately for Jean Michel and the rest of the world, he happened to ask for KW's *help* around a time when they were the busiest in decades with Wolfgang's lawsuit, Expo's music and controversy, etc...
