mR. SaTuRn mentioned about the KW Radioactivity video with the Computer Game on it... I had always assumed that that was NOT an official Kraftwerk item... the ONLY place I have seen it is within the German TV show from 1981/2? called "Die Mensch Maschine" (For those who don't know.. this is just a great program which intermixes German interview with Ralf and LIVE material in their nice red shirts!) In this program radio activity is played with that 'video' displaying... Does anyone know for FACT that this is Kraftwerk (Kling Klang) material and not something that the TV producers put together. I'm sure that there IS an official Kraftwerk video of Radioactivity... one where those light switches can be seen in use.... ;o) Oystein said that I had said about counting to 100 before posting anything in here..... perhaps I was mistaken.... by a factor of 10!.... and it as directed at ALL in this list.

Is there an English translation of that program somewhere? I downloaded it from the technopop.br site and would really like to find out what Ralf's actually saying. Erik

Well, I would say: The same he says all the time ;-) (means: about Kraftwerk being "showroom dummies", "Radioactivity" as an anti-nuclear song, the dangers of "bad" computers, and so on...) Gruesse aus Wien, Georgie

Well, this TV-Show was recorded in vienna, 1981.

You mean that one where a hand (Ralf? Florian?) plays the synthie and Ralf is singing in the mikrophone, all tinted in red light...nice thing ;-) Gruesse aus Wien, Georgie
