**(Neu)Are kind of a one trick pony.**

Oh I can't agree with that. I mean they're associated with *that* motorik beat most of all, but Neu 75 has a bit of that, some beautiful piano-led stuff and a really stately slow-pulse piece - all on side 1. Then you've got Klaus Dinger's mad pre-punk thrashes on side 2. And there's plenty of more sound collagey stuff on Neu 1, with road drills and jet engines et al.

When you said Kluster do you mean Cluster? Are we talking about the same band here?

I like Harmonia. Need to hear more Faust.

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 17:33 (nineteen years ago)

Kluster became Cluster. But Cluster were still a bit like Kluster on their first two albums (esp. 1st).

Kluster = Schnitzler, Roedelius, Moebius.

Cluster = Roedelius, Moebius

― Tom D., Wednesday, 7 March 2007 17:35 (nineteen years ago)

Kluster

The first side of Neu!75 is just like Harmonia - which is essentially Neu! slowed down with a bit more wank over the top. ;-)

::ducks::

Also, I know Cha Cha 2000 is cheesey as fuck but I still love it.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 17:39 (nineteen years ago)

I love Harmonia. Esp. "Deluxe".

― Tom D., Wednesday, 7 March 2007 17:40 (nineteen years ago)

Have you heard Secret Machines' version of that?

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 17:41 (nineteen years ago)

Ooooh, I don't like when bands do Krautrock covers

― Tom D., Wednesday, 7 March 2007 17:42 (nineteen years ago)

... what I mean is, I've never heard a good one yet

― Tom D., Wednesday, 7 March 2007 17:42 (nineteen years ago)

It's not that bad, actually!

OK, Brandon's annoying emo voice is kind of annoying. But you know what? I never have to hear that again if I don't want!

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 17:44 (nineteen years ago)

I thought I had it here but I don't.

Obviously theirs is more "RAWK" and less drum maschine but they get the textural element dead right.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 17:45 (nineteen years ago)

OK, so I definitely need a preamp. An all PUTW solution now weighs in at $285

At the other end of the spectrum is a behringer stomp box which has EQ and some tube modelling guff (which can be turned off). at £25

― Ed, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 17:58 (nineteen years ago)

Kate how did you get on with the Krautrocksampler pdf I sent you?

On that krautrock website http://www.midsuffolk.unisonplus.net/Top%2050.htm I have on cd or mp3 all of the top 50
and also most of the added albums that shrimp guy made on the end of the list. see http://pages.unisonfree.net/midsuffolk/Top%2051-150.htm

Some is just dodgy german hard rock that even Chuck & George might struggle to like, some of the (non-hardrock)albums are ok

Can we have a favourite krautrock album poll next time?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 18:20 (nineteen years ago)

No, because there's no way I could possibly choose just *one* Krautrock album.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 18:23 (nineteen years ago)

band?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 18:27 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe, although that changes from week to week.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 18:28 (nineteen years ago)

Emsk, miracle worker. :-) (Translation = NIN was the roxor.)

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 8 March 2007 00:01 (nineteen years ago)

yay :) i look forward to sunday then... the low lows were ace too, slightly different vibe i suspect.

― emsk, Thursday, 8 March 2007 00:45 (nineteen years ago)

Hello. I've never been on one of these threads before and I will probably disappear again straight away, but I'd just like to say LA DUSSELDORF LA DUSSELDORF LA DUSSELDORF. *ahem* Thank you for your time.

― emil.y, Thursday, 8 March 2007 00:50 (nineteen years ago)

is she having a competition, between la and dusseldorf?

― emsk, Thursday, 8 March 2007 00:54 (nineteen years ago)

Hello, good morning everyone. I am recovering from a flu type thing. cough cough splutter :(

― C J, Thursday, 8 March 2007 09:15 (nineteen years ago)

Hello CJ - welocme back, hope you're feeling better!

Watercooler people - I have a grevious hangover, please don't make too any loud noises near me. It was darts last night and we WON!

― Dr.C, Thursday, 8 March 2007 09:19 (nineteen years ago)

I have yet another Red Stripe induced hangover.

― Ed, Thursday, 8 March 2007 09:23 (nineteen years ago)

Drunken darts nights remind me of that Alas Smith And Jones sketch. What was the Mel Smith dart player called? Evenfatterbelly Gutbucket or something.

― C J, Thursday, 8 March 2007 09:28 (nineteen years ago)

Ugh - Red Stripe hangovers are brutal. I haven't had one for around 20 years thank god. Mine is a Youngs 'Ram and Special' hangover. I was late to the darts and had to drink fast to get in the zone, as I need at least 2 pints to steady the arm.

― Dr.C, Thursday, 8 March 2007 09:31 (nineteen years ago)

I haven't played darts for years. Mr C J used to play for a pub team, and back in the days before we had the kids I would often go along and play a few warm up matches with him. I wasn't too bad, either.

I used to play Aunt Sally and bar billiards, too. and Shut The Box.

― C J, Thursday, 8 March 2007 09:33 (nineteen years ago)

x-post I think the sketch was on Not The Nine O Clock News. I tried to find a picture of Mel Smith as the darts player, but this will have to do instead :

Isn't Jocky cuddly.

Bar billiards! As I am fond of mentioning (sorry) I am the reigning ILX bar billiards champion, after defeating post-tournament favourite Martin "The Hustler" Skidmore in a thrilling final a couple of years ago.

Shut The Box - I should know what that is but I don't.

― Dr.C, Thursday, 8 March 2007 09:41 (nineteen years ago)

Is that where you throw left-handed, get a number and then have to hit it five times before you can 'knock down' everyone else by rhe number of times they've hit their own? and all that?

― Mark G, Thursday, 8 March 2007 09:52 (nineteen years ago)

Shut The Box is a dice game:

xpost : yes, you're right, it was Not The Nine o'Clock News.

Ah-ha. Of course.

Morning all!

While looking at guitar p0rn on ebay I saw this and thought of Kate:

x-post Hang on - I posted a Paisley Tele on the last watercooler! No harm in seeing another though. (want it, want it, want it....)

― Dr.C, Thursday, 8 March 2007 10:21 (nineteen years ago)

I have made a resolution that today I will not look at pickups and preamps.

― Ed, Thursday, 8 March 2007 10:21 (nineteen years ago)

Jocky Wilson's from my hometown. Lived about 10 minutes away from the house I grew up in.

however I will say that this morning absolutely sparkled. I was foolish not to get my sunglasses out.

― Ed, Thursday, 8 March 2007 10:22 (nineteen years ago)

No Dr C, you are wrong. Ynysybwl's finest was my father :)

― C J, Thursday, 8 March 2007 10:25 (nineteen years ago)

I can't remember who was a doubter, but scroll down to the penultimate page for [Removed Illegal Link] (warning PDF)

― Ed, Thursday, 8 March 2007 10:27 (nineteen years ago)

I stand corrected!

― Dr.C, Thursday, 8 March 2007 10:30 (nineteen years ago)

I thought they'd fixed that

― Ed, Thursday, 8 March 2007 10:31 (nineteen years ago)

What are you trying to tell us, Ed?

― Dr.C, Thursday, 8 March 2007 10:31 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not sure, my head is mush and I'm trying to find royalty free music videos for a workflow example.
