All multiple votes (i.e. people who voted for more that one album) were counted. Now, I want to ask if there are any singles that are important to have in one's KW collection. Specifically, are there any versions of KW tracks that are on the singles but not the albums that are must-haves? Thanks to all those who answered my original question!

First of all: I live in Denmark, which is right next to Germany. Okay, here it is *easy* to get the german language versions of all the albums, which means that I naturally have them all. The english language versions is also to be had, but slightly more difficult and with one big exception: Computer World. I got my copy of it while living in the states a few years ago but now and then a copy or two pops up in various record stores. Now, I've seen at least *THREE* different versions of Computer World (the english language issue) and they sure don't all sound right. My copy sounds totally similar to my german language Computerwelt but the copy a friend of mine picked up last autumn did not. Simply it sounded flat. The great dynamics that are the basis on which the title track stands was quite simply missing. This must be the version you've run into. The point of all this being: - There exists an english language version of Computer World with a decent sound but also one not worth anything (listen before you buy!). - German language copy are still easy to find (and thus for US stores to import). >You should be able to order them through your local (good) record >store, though at premium prices, unfortunately.

To: kraftwerk Really-From: Sebastien Boisvert Requests for add/removal from this list to kraftwerk-request@cs.uwp.edu Hi Rich, I don't know much about Kraftwerk future projects. All I have is an article old from two years ago that was talking about their tour for The Mix that was cancelled in Canada. Could you believe I had my tickets in my hands and I went for the show because I didn't know about the cancellation? We were so much disappointed! Especially when a Kraftwerk show is held at a Club called "Metropolis"! It's kinda futuristic. So All I knew was that they were thinking of releasing a "Mix II" with further remakes like The Model and Neon Lights. I don't mind about this at all but I want NEW MATERIAL. It's just that they keep playing with their machines without making anything satisfying. That's why Karl Bartos left the band, he was tired of turning round and round without anything coming up. As for Elektric Music, no, I'm pretty sure they're not touring, all I know is that they are supposed to be working on Electronic's next album (co-production). This will be a hit, especially since I'm an unabashed New Order fan and that I liked Electronic very much. And anyway "Electronic" and "Elektric" sounds pretty cool together anyway! Hehehe. Anybody heard the job Elektric Music did on two tracks on the last Information Society album? One of the songs is called "Where Would I Be Without IBM?". Very Kraftwerkish, isn't it? Ciao.

WCI is the company they gave a lot of masters to for the purposes of remastering for CD..they seem to have stopped that practice now. I'm curious..what was the serial number on your better sounding U.S. version ?e ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Apr 94 16:13:15 +0200 From: kraftwerk (kraftwerk mailing list) Subject: Tour and New material To: kraftwerk Really-From: Fredrik Idestam-Almquist Requests for add/removal from this list to kraftwerk-request@cs.uwp.edu Sebastien Boisvert wrote: >As for Elektric Music, no, I'm pretty sure they're not touring, Well, um, I am a proud owner of a ticket to the Elektric Music concert here in Stockholm, Sweden, May 5th.

I just bought _Computer World_ a couple of weeks ago at a Camelot Music in Battle Creek. It was a fairly old pressing, as it was still in a longbox! But after hearing all this on the list about bad recordings, I've been wondering if I've gotten stuck with one. First, the number on the longbox, booklet, and disc is 9 3549-2. That worried me. Also, on the back cover of the disc case, there is no picture, only a track listing in large print and a short "about the artist" section. The back cover of the booklet has the same picture of all four band members that is on the back of the longbox. The box also has a longer "about the artist" write-up. "WCI" doesn't appear anywhere- only "Elektra" is any indication of its maker. It doesn't sound bad at all to me, but maybe because I haven't heard the right pressing. In any case, it sounds better than any of the tapes that I have... So, did I shell out good money for poor sound? G'day!

Fluer To: kraftwerk Really-From: Kevin Busby Requests for add/removal from this list to kraftwerk-request@cs.uwp.edu If the music technology magazine 'Sound On Sound' reaches your part of the world, you might want to keep an eye open for the new (May) issue, which features a 3 1/2 page report on the recent Kraftwerk and Elektric Music Convention in Blackpool, England. Nothing earth-shatteringly interesting, but worth reading, and with one piece of rather interesting news:- "[...] a debate session took place [...] After an enquiry about former Kraftwerk member Wolfgang Flur, one fan actually produced and read aloud a letter he'd received from Wolfgang the previous week, wishing the convention well and detailing his current involvement with his new band Jamo." And that's all it says about that. BTW the report gave the convention the thumbs-up.
