Kraftwelt == Power World. Kraft is an interesting word, because it means 'power' in German, but it has an older meaning in both German and English, as in 'Witchcraft'. and 'Gift' means poison in German.

well, isn't it embarrasing to see a such obvious lack of inspiration and name a band Kraftwelt. There's another group called "Klangwerk", and also "Komputer". Bastards.

While we're at it, lets all slag Black Dog for stealing from Black Flag. Bastards. :-) Maybe one day all IDM bands will have "Kraft" in their name, just like all rock bands will have "Crow" in their name! CHill Che

kraft = power, energy ...welt = world.. hope the intrigue is gone...regards. tom w np: painkiller - execution ground On Fri, 8 Nov 1996 13:02:09 GMT Phile <PHIL@argonaut.com> writes:
