Elektrokardiogramm
by Svensson, Joakim 28 Jul '03

28 Jul '03

Did anybody on the lists hear (and perhaps record) this? I'm just very curious about what it'll sound like. Beside that - what's the deal with KW and Spain? TdF 2003 was also - as far as I know - first aired in Spain. Joakim -----Original Message----- ...Julian Ruiz played "Elektrokardiogramm" from the forthcoming Kraftwerk album...

Sorry, but I don't think that would be very wise. I really would not like to risk any sales for KW - even though I think I can trust most people on the list to buy the album, but a public distribution of the MP3 would be a high risk. Also - I've redistributed material from public TV and radio transmissions, but that's a different thing (perhaps not from a legal point of view, but in my opinion that's closer to marketing).

Vitamin song
by Alex Brega 28 Jul '03

28 Jul '03

I have downloaded and already listened several times at the extract from BBC radio. It reminds me Expo 2000 a lot,because of strong similarity on Rhythm and lead melody (for example Ralf Keyboard, this sound like the live performed Man-Machine,too). I like the mechanic rhythm and metallic drums. About the lyrics, Ralf is talking (this seems to be his new singing-way) about Cadium(?), Calcium, Magnesium, Carboidrate and another chimical composite. A B C D Vitamin. Alex P.S.I am very curios on discovering how Elektrokardiogramm song is.... _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

I am interested on buying a copy,too. There is a direct contact to Kling Klang label ? Is this label German or English ? Maybe some musik-shops in Germany are selling it ? Or simply I have to wait for bid on Ebay.com ? Any buying information is welcome.

>>"First new album in 17 years", people who say that have absolutely no >>clue... >What do you mean? The Mix was a remix compilation, not "a new album" as >such. You say the article is wrong about that? In my humble opinion The Mix was certainly a "new album". It is more than a simple remix compilation. A remix album is usually a producers reworking of master recordings. I think of The Mix as a concept album. An interpretation of KW by KW themselves (KW through the looking glass!). The album may use previous compositions, but it is digital rerecordings creating new sounds by the artists themselves. I think that concept has been lost on a lot of people. I would not like to say that the article that featured the above quote was "wrong", that is open to interpretation. My viewpoint is that "The Mix" is an original KW album (and one of the best KW albums) and is in the true spirit of KW in that it has a theme or concept. And in true KW style it has a concept that is quite innovative for its time. In this case the concept has moved away from tangible subjects such as transport, communication, computers etc, to something much more abstract; identity (digital reincarnation??) identity through time perhaps? (anti nostalgia!). I look forward to hearing the new album. I have always been slightly disappointed that the cycling concept album was (apparently) abandoned. Perhaps the experience of cycling was a bit too abstract a subject at a time when people found it revolutionary for KW to release an album solely about computers, with bizarre sci-fi ideas like people dating via computers. As we move towards a post technology era where people are rarely awe-struck by new inventions (mobile phones can now transmit photographs.... who cares!) perhaps we can now appreciate the superior technology of the bicycle, superior because of its minimalism (and I would expect the new album to be minimalist), its environmental compatibility, and above all, it is fuelled by an aesthetic synergy between man and machine. ian t _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail messages direct to your mobile phone http://www.msn.co.uk/msnmobile

27 Jul '03

Hi! I managed to capture the files published on BBC earlier today. One is a 30 seconds snippet of Vitamin and the second is a 2 minutes version of Vitamin + a review by Andrew Collin and some guests. The sound quality is not great; I had to take an analogue roundtrip... You can download them from my FTP server: IP 217.208.148.224 User: TDF2003 PW: TDF2003 They're in the "BBC 6 music" folder (invisible, you'll have to CD yourself) Enjoy!
