Kraftwerk

While we were up last time, Dandylion told us about a Kraftwerk tribute album done by Senor Coconut... All latin american flavored versions of their most popular songs...

We got it, and it's certainly worth a listen!

XXXOOO

yeah, i heard some of the Senior Coconut album - really, really nice stuff. i believe it came out 3 or 4 years ago(roughly).

i'm big on Kraftwerk. all ravers, Hip-Hopians, technoheads, anything electronic in club music(& beyond) owes a GREAT amount of respect to Kraftwerk. i mean, these guys built their own instruments!!

...they're true vanguards in music.

"The Mix" was their last album together....well, really, it was "Electric Cafe". i'm glad to know the original line-up is back. i will most definately pick-up the album when it drops. i'm very curious to see how far ahead in the music they are now.

...those intrested should also check-out the old 70's krautband, Neu. one or two of the original Kraftwerk members were in that band. very intresting stuff.

...& look at the bitch NOW!

Yes, yes, we've LOOKED,we've SEEN THE BITCH!

I'm not 100% sure of this, but I THINK that Senor Coconut IS someone from Kraftewerk. You can't tell from the album cover because all of the info is fictional.

as perfectly executed as the Senior's tribute album is, i can guarantee you he's not a member of Kraftwerk.

...but i love the concept of taking uber-electronica classics & rebirthing them into mambo grooves...BRILLIANT!!!

..everybody sees THE BITCH!

Without Kraftwerk (and Giorgio Moroder) modern dance music (all types) would not exist. No hip-hop, house, disco, trance, New Order, Depeche Mode, etc, etc, on the the line--none of this would be feasible without Kraftwerk (na d Moroder).

I want to visit Germany for many reasons but one of them is Kraftwerk. (am dancing to The Robots and Radioactivity as we speak!) and judging from their live CD the are good live, they sound great in fact Check out their Minimum-Maximum CD and hear those cool and nutty Japanese fans go nuts while singing along to Dentaku--awesome!
