Elektric Music - Arte Spezial

[sirdoccy]

I bet if he takes off his glasses you will see his eyes all red!

[mpresev]

sounds like New Order/Electronic.

Somewhere in Prehistory, i saw this program on ARTE on TV. The CD of Elektirc Music is quite good. A mix of Kraftwerk and OMD. One of my all-time-favourites.

I think this is great! Mabe Karl Bartos sing little better :)

[docterjoy]

Actually he sings better in The Telephone Call and 15 minute of fame

[krewtfark]

Lothar did not sing on Kraftwerks song "The telephone call"! It was Karl Bartos! Lothar was a member of the german group "Rheingold", and had nothing to do with Kraftwerk.

[spakkajack]

yes crap singing but i would like to give

that interviewing bird one. Well fit.

[jaffathecake]

Fuck all wrong with that.Nice and raw

[boomshala]

he CANNOT sing ! No wonder Karl Bartos splitted !

[theblob2007]

He sounds like Neil Young.

[1973giraffe]

@theblob2007 And he sounds like Roy Orbison

[Guust81]

@boomshala Yes, being able to sing was definately one of the prerequisites to be a Kraftwerk member

[soepil]

"Meistens war ich der Zweite von Links" ;-)

Very nice.

[t0rment2004]

Anyone else think that Karl's live version of this actually sounds more like the record?

[thomasrealdance]

to me a romanticized remix of Kraftwerk-stuff, from sounds to melodies, exploring different pathways, less purely crystalline from the "originals" - maybe indeed more Anglo-Saxon codes for 'emotional'?....

[Camouflage1971]

Nice.

Awesome stuff! I wish I knew what they were saying in German. =)
