Electronic Artist You'd Most Like To Put In Your... Y'Know

http://www.kraftwerk.moxo.cz/images/fotogalerie/florian-schneider-1970.jpg

I have just been taught the phrase "die Rohr verlegen" for my epic KraftNeuClusterCan fan fic. Yes I would very much like to lay that piper, fnar.

Piper at the gates of... Y'know

clean-cut cyborg Kraftwerk > longhaired hippie Kraftwerk

imho

Your opinion is RONG.

Mind you, I'm not talking about which Kraftwerk I want to listen to, just which Kraftwerk I want to put in my... Y'Know.

I have a hard time separating their music from their appearance. I prefer my Deutsche Elektronische Musik to be sleek and sexless and fluteless, so I expect the same of their fashion choices (this applies to everyone but Ralf, who looked pretty much the same at all phases of their career). to be fair I might feel differently if I had any interest in putting Kraftwerk in my [MOD EDIT].

I did some googling to figure out whether Tangerine Dream had ever undergone a Kraftwerk-style makeover, but they never really stopped being shaggy hippie dudes, and it suited them somehow:

this applies to everyone but Ralf

oops, meant to say Florian

Well, Florian went from jaw-length hair and sideburns, to short hair, to no hair. So there's been some change. He's just so distinctive looking I think it's impossible for him to look like anyone else, no matter what styling he has.

But the thing is, I'm sorry, but... sexless? Fluteless, sure, I can understand how free jazz flute isn't to everyone's taste.

I have never understood why people called Kraftwerk's music sexless. OK, maybe the earlier experimental traffic cone stuff is a bit wibbly and rather sexless; Ananas Symphony isn't exactly a banger. But the *music* of the kind of classic period? Are you kidding me? It's dance music! It's incredibly sexy, even while it's austere and restrained - or perhaps that's why it's so sexy, because it's so repressed, it's practically dripping with sex. (And that's not even touching on the lyrical content - like, every hetero(ish) female Kraftwerk fan I've ever known has highlighted the same bits in Computer Love and The Robots - come on! "We are programmed just to do/Anything you want us to" like HELLO! - and so on.)

Sexless... if all that machine music on TEE isn't drop-dead sexy and if the romanticism of e.g. Neon Lights isn't drenched in emotion... well if that stuff isn't considered sexy, then quite frankly I'm not sure what sex is supposed to be.

Granted, this is not the best thread for this, perhaps I should just go and revive one of ILM's 8 billion Kraftwerk threads, but this has always confused me deeply.

Because I'm aware that not everyone wants to talk about Kraftwerk as much as I do right now, derailing to here:

Favourite Member of Kraftwerk (classic line-up)

Supersister are fast becoming one of my favourite prog bands and from looking at the sleeves of the albums I've become enchanted by the appearance of Robert Jan Stips. Slightly weird looking but also one of the most beautiful men I've ever seen.

That one guy looks uncannily like David Gilmour.

He does but I think Stips gets the edge for sweetness and prettiness.

OK, maybe the earlier experimental traffic cone stuff is a bit wibbly and rather sexless

i think this https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CLuvw4yWsAEixhy.jpg nsfw 1971 tour poster wishes to disagree but tbh i don't have an assessment of it besides 'O_o'

(i'll warn you in advance that it's not the good kind of nsfw you may be anticipating)

Oh no my phone really does not get along with photobucket so I am going to have to wait until tomorrow to see the pretty prog boy

Merdeyeux, I know exactly which poster you mean without having to click on the link, and all I can say to you is: that poster does not, to me, signify "sexy" but as the owner of a... Y'Know it signifies "OUCH OUCH OUCH THAT DOES NOT GO IN THERE!"

i am sure, the O_o factor is working on several levels

I suppose the question of whether Kraftwerk's music is sexy or sexless comes down to one's attitudes about these topics:

Are androids sexy? YES!
Are machines sexy? YES!
Are trains sexy? YES!
Is technology sexy? YES!
Is physics sexy? YES!
Are fast cars and racing cycles sexy? Well I'd say no but British television programming seems to suggest otherwise.

Your mileage may vary.

Haven't seen Edward Scissorhands in a long time but in retrospect, the mother played by Dianne Wiest had one of the warmest and kindest faces ever.

Just saw a clip tonight of Doris Day doing "Windy City" in Calamity Jane. Was spellbound.

My wife has never seen Rebecca so we were watching last night, and god, 23-year-old Joan Fontaine was just astonishing.

She has kind of a Manson girl look in that first

Ha! I screened the o.g. The Big Bounce last night, and she kind of <is> a Manson Girl in it.

Wanting to have lots of sex with the stars of Charlie's Angels is what kept that show on the air (it wasn't the acting or the scripts).
