I am glad that many of you have been finally able to witness _kraftwerk_ live. I saw them during their first re-incarnation of few years ago, following the release of _the mix_. From what I have been reading here, they have not really changed much in their set, although they play 1 or 2 new tracks. The trick with the robots is still the same, the tracklisting is still the same, the gimmick with the pocket keyboard that the audience gets to push during _pocket calculator_, it is all the same as X years ago. I am still a bewildered _kraftwerk_ fan but I am beginning to think they switched to auto-pilot a long time ago with nobody noticing it. I have to admit that hearing their tunes through a well-tuned concert PA also knocked my socks off ... ;-))) dv8 PS : I am finally discovering the beauty of labels such as Markant (info please !!!), Schematic, Karaoke Kalk , ... throught the virtues of .mp3s. If you live where I live, you will never find any of these 12"s in stores and I have had problems ordering vinyl online. If I would come across this stuff in local shops I would buy it, but the chances of finding them are astronomically small ... my 1 BEF.
