Tristan wrote: However, this may not be what you're asking about. A year or two ago there was an album of orchestrated Kraftwerk covers that's also supposed to be worth a listen. I have no info on that though. having searched for a copy of this for years i finally got it on cd (delivered yesterday :)) from www.hmv.co.uk and i've got it with me in work today so i can give you the full rundown. the album is Possessed by The Balanescu Quartet, released in 1992 on Mute. catalogue number is CDSTUMM111. 5 Kraftwerk covers. *really* beautiful interpretations of the originals and imho it's almost as if the Kraftwerk tracks were meant to be played by a string quartet all along. the Kraftwerk covers are: 1) Robots 2) Model 3) Autobahn 4) Computer Love 5) Pocket Calculator there are also 4 other tracks. 3 Alexander Balanescu compositions and one track written by David Byrne, Hanging Upside-Down (i guess this is a Talking Heads cover?). rob _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

I probably missed that, but what's cd called that has these easy listening covers of kraftwerk songs? thanks chris This guy is a prolific, and definately strange, producer. Here's some info provided by Lance: Respect JasonB Here is the post i sent to 313 awhile ago. And yes, the same guy who does the Senor Coconut record, Atom Heart/Uwe Schmidt, also did the Gosh 'n' Geeze record and has recorded well over 100 other records in a dizzying range of styles/guises. If you want more music from Atom Heart, check the releases on his Rather Interesting label. Maybe i'm late on this one but the other day I was discovered the new Señor Coconut double-album called El baile Alemán and in love with it's cheese filled carib-latino cover beauty. For those who arent familiar with this release, it is an entire album of Calypso/Latino/Mambo/Cuban/Salsa re-interpretations of classic Kraftwerk tracks. Also there is a newer cd single with more Kraftwerk remakes. Time to mambo with the robots! . Señor Coconut y su conjunto: El Baile Alemán cd (Emperor Norton) Tracks: - Showroom Dummies (Cha-Cha-Chá) - Radioactivity (Rumba) - Trans Europe Express (Cumbia) - The Robots (Cha-Cha-Chá) - Neon Lights (Cha-Cha-Chá) - Autobahn (Cumbia Merengue) - Homecomputer (Merengue) - Tour De France (Merengue) - The Man Machine (Baklán) - Music Non Stop (Cumbia) . Señor Coconut y su conjunto: Tour De France/Expo2000 cd (Emperor Norton) Tracks: - Tour De France (Merengue) Radio Edit - EXPO2000 (Mambo) - Tour De France (Merengue) Album Version - EXPO2000 (Mambo Instrumental)

Hi, Cenor Coconut = Atom Heart = Atom TM = Geez'n'Gosh = Uwe Schmidt Recently he released XXX album as Atom TM feat Tea Time - absolutely wicked latino/easy listening/gangsta rap (!!) hybrid with hispano-teutonic xxx vocals. There's one track on it which samples Ice-T's intro to Home Invasion - all this suck my motherf***in' d**k stuff over excellent digital beats. As Geez'n'Gosh he, also recently, did a superb religious album My Life With Jesus, more serious, less funny, abstract digital sounds over clinical beats, more in the vein of Sutekh and other PowerMac stuff. He is also one half of Flanger, who did excellent album on Ninja Tune's sublabel NTone - second album out this or next month. The other half of Flanger is Burnt Friedman peace, ]m[ maciek sienkiewicz
