Garfield Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) Listened to a bit of Kraftwerk just nowAutobahn, from the early 70's Jasus it was rough, but I thought it was the dogs at the time Music has a way of making you grow up. Love that album, Dave, although I find myself listening to some of the later albums more (especially Trans-Europe Express, The Man-Machine, and Computer World). They had an eight-night residency in the Museum of Modern Art in New York a short while back where they played an entire album live each night... what I would've given to be there!

Count me in as a big fan too, saw them in the Olympia and at Electric Picnic. And when it comes to certain bands, I'm as bad with boxes as Bracken is. Have all their albums on pre remastered CDs too, including 'Ralf und Florian' and other bootlegged Krautrock era releases. Sad I know.

My mate was looking at a poster on the stairs when Sharkey saw him and asked "Do you want one of them, mate?" "Yeah!", so he ripped it off the wall and gave it to him...

Broithe Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 This - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00nf10k/Krautrock_The_Rebirth_of_Germany/ - is on BBC4 on Saturday. It's been on before and is quite good. It covers most of the Krautrock scene, but misses one of my faves - La Düsseldorf. People have put some real effort into videos based on their stuff.

Broithe Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Nice one, was unfamiliar with La Düsseldorf till now, going to check them out more. Well worth the effort. For me, the most important were the big K, Can and La D - Ashra's Blackouts LP is worth a listen, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broithe Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Well, not actually listening now, but I've just got back from an evening of PiL. Far better than I was expecting. I was surprised to see Lu Edmonds there - seen him a fair few times with the Damned and 3 Mustaphas 3 but didn't realise he was involved with PiL. Top stuff..

Horsetan Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 .... the Dubliners. those lads were great at taking the piss at stuff while making everyone aware of it at the same time... A role filled these days by the Rubberbandits, but with a lot more swearing. I mean, you wouldn't hear that type of language from a docker!
