When the series first began, they out and out used "Ruckzuck" from _Kraftwerk_. A few years back they "updated" their theme, which involved re-recording a bunch of tracks (using non-KW instruments) to put on top of the Kraftwerk.

It's from their first album _Kraftwerk_, 1970, re-issued in 1975. (Well, "Tone Float" /_Organisation_ was their *first* album). _Autobahn_ was released in 1974. Look for the albums with the red traffic cone or with the oscillascope trace. Also available on bootleg CD's, studio & live versions. Great song.

I bought and gave away the EM CD with the Rising Sun Flag. I can't even remeber it's name it was so bad. However, I do like the CD single Television. It is melodic and well mixed. It resembles Telephone Call from Electrik Cafe. The song Television on the "Rising Sun" CD is a stinky mix with most of the interesting sounds buried. Maybe EM should wait 5 years before releasing new material to ensure that it is good enough. I am toying with the Idea of developing MIDI sequence copies of Kraftwerk songs.

Both Schneider and Huetter majored in Music in college! So that's probably just done to keep the "different" image up on every point, but it probably results in no sheet music being released. ...and when I grow up, I'll make a device that outputs the notes of a piece given the soundwave (or, at least, when given a whistled performance of a melody.) - -gbr ------------------------------ From: kraftwerk (kraftwerk mailing list) Date: Wed, 8 Feb 95 01:53 CET Subject: kraftwerk-digest V2 #162 Really-From: danstr@skom.se (Daniel Strandberg) > And what other songs are on the Crosstalk single CD?

Well, as I recall (somebody borrowed it from me a couple of months ago), it contains two versions of Crosstalk, one extended mix and the "normal" CD-version. And of course Baby Come Back, which is a rather weird version of the song. If I would have knew how rare this CD-single has become, I would have bought the whole lot from the local record store. But, IMHO, the Crosstalk-CD-single isn't that special. Get the "TV"-CD-single instead, very different from the album version. ------------------------------ End of kraftwerk-digest V2 #163 ******************************* From: kraftwerk To: kraftwerk-digest@cs.uwp.edu Subject: kraftwerk-digest V2 #164 Reply-To: kraftwerk Errors-To: kraftwerk Precedence: bulk kraftwerk-digest Friday, 10 February 1995 Volume 02 : Number 164 Kraftwerk infobahr Elektric Music Re: kraftwerk-digest V2 #162 Abzug Antenna/Antenne ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: kraftwerk (kraftwerk mailing list) Date: Thu, 9 Feb 1995 12:51:23 +0100 (NFT) Subject: Kraftwerk infobahr Really-From: The infobahr has been unavailable a few days due to some major disk crashes at my department.

I really enjoy the disc (with the exception of Kissing the Machine -- Andy McCluskey's whiny-ballad voice makes me ill). I don't think he ever intended to rip-off Kraftwerk's style. Rather, he took what he learned and experienced with Kraftwerk and applied it to his own music. I admit the disc leans heavy toward a poppy sound, but I found it to have good flow (with the other exception Information, which has some pretty annoying sample usage) and a clean electronic synth-pop sound. Of course this is just my opinion... I look forward to Karl Bartos' additions to the band Electronic and their new CD -- if it ever comes out.

In a song off Begger's Banquet, a guitar pick falls into a guitar's sound hole at the end of Prodigal Son (i believe). The point is lots of unusual unintentional sounds get recorded. For those who discover them, it seems to add a closer link to the artist. The song and artist become humans. I'm going to checkout the tea spoons tonight. Thanks for the curiosity. I too like to disect songs. I think it began when I used to disassemble my toys as a child:). On Metal on Metal. I always interpreted this as the wheel/rail relationship of a train highlighted by the playing of metal by the band. Does anyone know if they actually played metal instruments when performing this live? I assume that they did hit metal pieces in the studio.

I was quite pleased with Balanescu Quartet's _Possessed_ and also _Trans Slovenia Express_. Some have caught my eye: the 2-CD _Dusseldorf Nachtexpress_, which I found out about through the Infobahr, the _Boing Boom Tschak_ tribute mentioned in digest 2-119, and Trauma's take on "Radioaktivitaet." Have any of you heard any of these, and if so, are they worth having? Side question: have the members of Kraftwerk themselves ever given an opinion on covers of their work?

I just picked it up and have to say it's a great disc. The songs have a great, thick, symphonic sound -- but they're not as annoyingly thick as Wendy Carlos' Switched on Bach 2000 (which IMHO was pretty muddy). Of course the sound is not as Moog-y as Carlos' early classical renditions, but Schulze's disc isn't as cheesy sounding as Tomita. Overall I give this CD high marks. You might want to check it out if you like classical reworks on synths.

Really-From: On Board the Terror -- ROBUR Hello Kraftwerk fans! I just subscribed to the Kraftwerk Digest a few days ago, so I'll introduce myself. I'm George Choksy, and I teach economics at Alma College in Michigan. I'm 45, married, and have a 10 year old daughter whom I took to her first Pink Floyd concert last July (in the Detroit Silverdome, 7/14/94). I discovered the Kraftwerk Digest through a friend on the Echoes Digest, an electronic bulletin board devoted to all things Pink Floyd. I discovered Kraftwerk because of my fascination with the late-60s and early-70s music of Pink Floyd, which featured the legendary Synthi-VCS3 synthesizer; Kraftwerk was also using synthesizers to stunning effect back then. I have been appropriately (if ineligantly) described by many as a hard core Pink Floyd fanatic. But I've also been a devoted fan of Kraftwerk's music for 20 years. I first heard a Kraftwerk album in 1974, and I think I have all of them, but I've never been to a Kraftwerk concert; I hope to remedy that as soon as possible. Other music I love is Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jarre, Gong, Steve Hillage. I have all or most of their commercial releases, and some ROIOs and VOIOs [Recordings (and Videos) of Illegitimate Origin -- do we use the ugly and scarey b-word on the Kraftwerk Digest?] I have two guitar synthesizers. One is a stock ARP Avatar, and the other is an ARP Avatar that's had the livin' daylights hot-rodded into it by an electrical engineer friend who peppered it with in- and out-patch-points, extra VCO waveforms, extra LFOs, envelope inverters, VCO octave and interval switches, and -- here's the fun part boys and girls -- an assignable X-Y joystick controller, just like the venerable old Synthi VCS3. I can run these two Avatars in sequence or parallel. The rest of my rig is a 1974 Fender Stratocaster, Roland Space Echo, several old MXR pedals, and a 1975 Marshall 100-watt Super Lead II amplifier with one 4x12 cabinet. All archaic by contemporary standards, but fun toys anyway. I've been so busy making an academic career for myself during the past decade, that I hadn't even turned on all that stuff for more than 6 years, until just last summer. My actual musical talent stinks; but when I used to practice more, I could make deliberate weird noises with the best of 'em. I have a large basement. Y'all come on over and we'll honk a while. So what's happening? Has Kraftwerk been on tour recently, or are they about to embark on one, or what? When can I see them? WHERE'S THE PARTY??! YOUR LIST GETS MINE. LET'S TRADE! Thanks for the bandwidth. Oh yeah -- this is my flying saucer. It's a dirty old rust bucket, but I keep it because I've sworn to fly it to a Kraftwerk concert before I retire it. It has an illustrious history of sorts -- I once saw God at a Pink Floyd concert in it. _/^\_ /^ ^\ __________<___________>__________ ____/_________________________________\____ / WASH ME PLEASE \ <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<|>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \___________________________________________/ \__\__|__/__/ ^^^^^^^^^^^ "cogito ergo Checkered Demon" George Choksy CHOKSY@ALMA.EDU ------------------------------ From: kraftwerk (kraftwerk mailing list) Date: Wed, 22 Feb 1995 14:33:30 -0800 (PST) Subject: Re: Hi there!

Actually the Synthi and the VCS3 are two different synths manufactured by EMS. They are still making them today. Quite expensive but very weird. The Orb us them (amongst a few other techno artists that make enough money to afford them). Just thought you should know.

You might be interested to know that KW also used EMS synths. On the back cover of Ralf + Florian you can actually identify an EMS Synthi A (which is the same as the VCS3, only in a brief-case type housing) on Florian Schneider's Combo.

While I'm at it, I guess I should introduce myself to the list. My name is David Bass, and I'm a technical writer with SAS Institute in Cary, NC. My interest in Kraftwerk goes back to the day I first heard "Autobahn" on the car radio. I was only 13, and didn't know any German, so I was convinced they were singing "Fog, fog, fog, all the household fog"!! True story. I still have my old vinyl of Autobahn, Radio-Activity and Trans-Europa-Express (German version). Their direction and mine diverged around the Computer World days, only to resurface in the past few years. I've since picked up CD versions of all the KW I owned as well as those that I missed. I still find myself anticipating well-remembered pops and skips from my old copy of Autobahn. Let's see - favorite KW albums: 1) TEE 2) R&F 3) Autobahn. Favorite KW songs: 1) TEE 2) Autobahn 3) Ananas Symphonie or Metropolis. Least favorite KW album: Electric Cafe (no question). Other muscial interests: Brian Eno (almost obsessively), Philip Glass, some techno and ambient, pretty much anything unusual or offbeat. Looking forward to hearing from y'all!
