Sorry to repost this to the list but I lost the original post. Anyone wanting to hear Kraftwerk's set at Tribal Gathering can point their browsers to http://www.andreas.de/kraftwerk/index.html The sound quality isn't the best but it gives you the flavor. Personally I found it kind of dissapointing. I was a big Kraftwerk fan years ago and it seemed more like a tired rehash. Its not musically bad in some absolute sense, and at times is really good. Its more like watching people try to recapture something from the past rather than press on. These were the innovators that really made modern techno happen (via early hip hop and detroit). Are these the Rolling Stones of techno or can they recapture it? -- Mark Edward Bowen Warmed Breakdown mb@gettins.bche.uic.edu
