Actually, the tracklists are different. The reiussed version is missing Radioactivity and instead has an "intro" added to the album. Apparently Kraftwerk thought the cover version of Radioactivity was too happy for the content of the song. Uwe tried to explain to them that this would be like a 1st world band prohibiting a 3rd world band from covering the tune, but they insisted. See the New York Times column from July 6th in the art section for more info. semuta ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
