<<Could be, but Simulationszeitalter is a quintessential Kraftwerk rip - imo more so than his other Kraftwerk rips.>> But that's not to detract from the fact that it's really quite good! I consider it really "dark" scary electro (unlike Kraftwerk); it's not "poppy," it's "deep"... but some people just find it "gimmicky"... I guess one man's "kitsch" is another man's "shtick." Or "something." <<>>go for "Little Computer People">> Now that shit's cheesy. My favorite Rother track might be "Sex with Machines" on Kanzleramt. It's neither excessively Kraftwerkian nor excessively cheesy. Besides, the whole electro genre is a total rip on Kraftwerk. Cut the man some slack. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
