Yup. THAT Karl Bartos. Ex-Kraftwerk.Two tracks on 7" vinyl.
You heard it here first.
Hopefully NOT stuff from "Communication", cos I’ve played that to death. I AM the message..
This will be in (almost) as much demand as the John Foxx vinyl with ES-48, so I’d advise you to get a subscription.
I missed out on the "The Normal" single a few issues back and I am still kicking myself..
This message was sent from my phone. Please excuse the brevity and any typos. Thanks
Oh, My God!
The big news today is that David Bowie has passed away. (Bloody cancer again..)
This explains why he suddenly started making music again – he knew he didn’t have long.
I have to say that I only like some of his music, but that’s the point: how can you not like some of it? His musical output is so diverse that I don’t think you can dislike all of it..
Personally, I started with “Ashes to Ashes” and Fashion in the eighties, and then retrospectively found the “Low” and Berlin period stuff to be to my taste.
His influence is everywhere, though.
He will be missed.
I’ve just noticed that the “Music” section is dead in the water..
None of the links actually work.. I’ll sort it out as soon as I can – I’m a bit busy fixing a large qube! renderfarm.. deja vu or what?
I’d just like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who reads my ramblings, whether you read the posts on the site, follow me on twitter or facebook, or subscribe by e-mail..
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
May next year be all that you want it to be.
You couldn’t make this stuff up, could you?
