Oh ye of little faith. A good source in the US is Best Buy stores. The Kraftwerk catalog has bounced around quite a bit -- some CD's were out on Capitol, some were out on Warner Brothers, some apparerently are available from Cleopatra -- check out http://www.hallucinet.com/cleopatra/cleo_cat.html They list "The Man Machine" "The Model"(Best of) "Radio-Activity" "Trans-Europe Express" and "Showroom Dummies"(EP?) cdnow lists "Computer World", "Electric Cafe", "Man Machine", "Showroom Dummies" and "Trans Europe Express" and "Kraftwerk 2" and the Japanese version of Computer World, which I presume has the Japanese Versions of some songs. --------------------------------------------------------------------- "I read Keyboard, but it's like staring at a book with pictures of simple looking but expensive machines." -- Michael Lazarev NEW CD Comp Electronic Music Project http://soli.inav.net/~kent/emp.html Kent Williams kent@inav.net CADSI 2651 Crosspark Road Coralville IA 52241 (319) 338 6053 (home) (319) 626 6700 x 219 (work) (319) 626 3489 (fax)
