A MASTERPIECE

@Nohshing Hey - no worries about your opinion. :) Thanks for stating it. :)

This was pretty much the first time ever I did a remix of another tune that used actual loops from the original and mixed it with parts from my own equipment, so it comes as no surprise that it lacks here and there. ;-) And I didn't attempt to make it sound "better" - just a little "different". If a listener likes it I'm happy and if not I can't change that, but I don't despair because of it.

Cheers - Michael

[Nohshing]

@commanderkruge Well, I really admire you for accepting my critics even if I formulated them a bit too much aggressively ;) Actually it isn't that bad, no, I would say it's quite good, but because I think Kraftwerk does all to produce their songs in a very minimalistc way, if you now add some stuff, you break with their philosophy and that's why I don't really like it...

Yours truly - Nico

[commanderkruge]

@Nohshing Well, apart from simply being a question of taste - coverversions/remixes are always kinda tricky. Especially with a band with such a typical sound like KW - because, as soon as you change it it isn't the typical sound any more. I'm well aware of that. :)

[JTlovesDexter]

♥ it!! ; )

[brismike65]

You could have destroyed this but you added to it well done, I like the slow pace of it.

[commanderkruge]

@brismike65 Thanks! I used the first single version as a basis.

[brismike65]

@commanderkruge its excellent I highly recommend your mix

[plasmaarmelund]

Is this the remix that David Elsewhere danced to?

[commanderkruge]

@plasmaarmelund I have no idea - but if someone wants to dance to my remix - all power to them! ;)

[commanderkruge]

@plasmaarmelund I checked the vid you must be reffering to - no, that's not my remix, it's the original single on which I based my remix.

[1975ravn]

@plasmaarmelund Yes mate, thats is :o) He is So cool that kid

[commanderkruge]

@1975ravn No it's not.

He dances to the original single version that I *based* this remix on. :)

[plasmaarmelund]

@commanderkruge What's different about yours? Don't get me wrong, I like it. I'm just wondering what you did with the original.

[commanderkruge]

@plasmaarmelund No worries - I'm not insulted or something. :) watch?v=8mL99JcdBJA - this is the original. I moved some things around, added a little from my own synths and drum computers here and there... It's relatively close to the original in feeling for sure. :)

[Pawelec245]

This is more than greate history This is one of the world best music. They are fathers of electonic music and they are the best for ever.

[commanderkruge]

@Pawelec245 Can't argue with that. :)

[slobomarko]

Nice and cooool ... very good remix !!!!!

[commanderkruge]

Thanks, I appreciate it. :)

[Dorfanger]

[commanderkruge]

mp3-link in der video-description ^^

[Dorfanger]

genial

[commanderkruge]

Dankedanke! :)

[alebolzan]

Who made this video?!

[commanderkruge]

I did - I re-cut the original Kraftwerk video.

[lovetank3000]

Kraftwerk - endlos!

[commanderkruge]

...oder auch nicht? Wenn stimmt was ich von verschiedenen Seiten gehört habe, dann ist inzwischen auch Florian ausgestiegen - selbst im offiziellen Forum ist er nicht mehr auf der Titelgrafik. Kraftwerk ist dann wohl nur noch Hütter mit drei "Angestellten"...

[lovetank3000]

Wir wollen's nicht hoffen!

[commanderkruge]

Naja... Für mich trägt Karl Bartos die Fackel weiter, was den "klassischen KW Stil" angeht - "Communication" ist eine Superscheibe. :) The Message rockt. :)

[lovetank3000]

Das stimmt. Allerdings finde ich den neueren Kraftwerk-Sound von "Tour de France Soundtracks" auch absolut genial.

[commanderkruge]

Hm, scheint wirklich offiziell, das mit Florian - im offiziellen Forum gibt es eine kurze Meldung dazu. Und in Bartos' Forum wird auch gerade drüber geredet.

[lovetank3000]

Für April sind aber zwei Konzerte in Wolfsburg angekündigt; kann man natürlich auch mit "Ersatzleuten" machen ...

[commanderkruge]

Jepp - es gibt bereits einen "Ersatzmann" auf der Bühne. Der war auch schon bei den letzen Auftritten dabei.

[commanderkruge]

Inzwischen ist das mit Florian ja offiziell - aber er ist nicht "weg", zum Beispiel hat er an einer CD von "Atom" (aka Lassigue Bendthaus, aka Senor Coconut) mitgewirkt.

[1986abc]

Ist Florian ausgestiegen? Wo hast Du das gelesen? Ich habe in einem Interview mit Ralf Hütter gelesen, dass er für mindestens ein Jahr nicht mit auftreten wollte und sich "um andere Dinge, technische Dinge kümmern wollte".

[m1044]

cool mix!

[commanderkruge]

Thanks. :) Check the description for a link to the mp3 file in better quality if you like it. :)

[commanderkruge]

Thanks - and I agree! While not a bad tune it sure isn't a "classic KW" piece, in my opinion. But now I know I can work on videos - even if it is SLOOOOW on my old PC - I'll sure try something with my own music too. And there's another project a-brewing... ;)

[susannastammer]

i like the video. i'm questionning the song: seems like the Kraft' guys are really resting on their laurels (which they deserve).

[commanderkruge]

PS - let them rest, as long as Karl keeps going I'm happy! ;)
