plclarke@wpcusrgrp.org sez: :Sure, maybe a couple of points, but... one of those albums, the one that's all :orange, I believe, has the first occurance (to me) of that submarine "ping" :sound that has turned up in Grid records, and KLF records, and a whole pile of :other records circa 1990-92. Is this THE source for that sound, or is it some :keyboard preset, or something? It's a really basic monophonic analog synth sound. I have a tape of a Radio 1 Kraftwerk special (thanks to Matt MacQueen & rww3) where the presenter spent a fair amount of time talking to Andy McCluskey (I think.) He talked about how huge an influence Kraftwerk was on them. -d.w. arial tetsuo fan club
