Many many years ago, when i were a wee nipper, i went to one of my first gigs, Kraftwerk .... what an amazing gig it was too.... they were totally at the forefront of the whole 'electronic' movement in Europe and their stage shows were what i know now to be called "performance art" but back then still in High school just thought "wow! what an amazing mind fuck".... really a great 'robot' image that they had, there was no ego, they did very little press or interviews it was all about an image and music.. EMI just signed them again and the original members are back and releasing a new album... I'm sure its not the same but then again we are all so much more jaded and cynical now... but back then 1984 was just an Orwellian image.... but God! they were great!

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!! Eek

...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. Wink

...& look at the bitch NOW!

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!!! Big Grin

..everybody sees THE BITCH! Wink Big Grin Smile
