In the flying hellfish episode, what song is the german guy
listening to in his white sports car? (It think it was
Kraftwerk). If it was a Kraftwerk song, what cd can I find it
on?

The episode capsule (http://www.snpp.com/episodes/3F19.html) says that the
song was "Mind Control" by D.J. Keoki, "a really cool New York D.J. who
spins `trance' techno." That may or may not be right, but I think it's a
pretty safe bet. Good day.

Though "Mind Control" appears in the lyrics the actual song title
is "Caterpillar".

Funny how this same discussion is happening right now on
alt.music.kraftwerk.

Kraftwerk is minimalist ambience, great stuff. The music on the Simpsons was
techno shit. Not good.

I think Kraftwerk pretty much begin and end with "Computer World." Without that
record you can say goodbye to all your Autechres and other Warp/Skam type of
Autechre clones.

Wasn't there some big fuss over them not along ago, about being paid a
ridiculous sum of money to record a promotional track for some World Expo thing?
The track basically amounted to a four-second clip of a vocoded voice saying the
name of whatever it was donated for.

Now *that* rules.

Kraftwerk released a single some time ago called "expo 2000", but they've
made a bit more out of it though. In addition to saying/vocoding "expo
2000", the say the likes of "man, nature, technology - mensch, natur,
technik". It's quite ordinary ambient stuff. It was released in 8 mixes,
and has gotten some airplay on MTV Europe.


you can check it out on www.kraftwerk.com
