Rational Youth / Kraftwerk

Postby datafreq » Fri Jul 11, 2003 6:39 am

any thoughts on them...

loved the cold war nightlife album,
in fact, after kraftwerk they were my biggest influence
on my musical "career"...

as for KW, just got the new single,
and although it's "tour de france 2003",
the extended version is really good...

not sure if it was worth the 17 year wait (not counting expo 2000 of course)

but great sounds..really pristine song...

my 2 cents...

cheers

dave

i am adding...
and subtracting...

"Tour de France 2003" ... d'ya think Ralf und Florian gave Lance Armstrong a plug? <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Rational Youth's [i]Cold War Nightlife[/i] is very good. Never heard it back in the day, since much of the Canadian s

Kraftwerk were one of my favorite bands when I was younger. I was always impressed with how they used electronic music to create something different. Two other early German bands that had a large influence on my musical tastes were Faust and Einsturzend

They'd be no Daft Punk, Green Velvet, or any electroclash and techno without the Huge influence Kraftwerk gave to music.

Their latest album Tour de France Soundtracks sees them back to form and I can't wait to see them on their tour next month

Kraftwerk touring this year! Four dates in the UK - I am not sure about the rest of the world.

Pick up the Karl Bartos album "Communication" - much better than ther Tour De France album that came out last year.

Kraftwerk, to me, is the be-all and end-all. They were the first "underground" band I heard (1975 / Autobahn, I was 7) and have been a die-hard fan since Computer World in 1981. I was rather disappointed with The Mix as I personally don't see the point
