Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11097 | So what? The style of music is usually connected with the mid-90s these days, and you know very well why... ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11097 | No, because that was when this music last got lots of hype. ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 1007 | Yesterday, I've heard three songs from the new Stooges album. I must confess that I almost liked the songs, which indicates they moved into a more commercial sound. Sorry to bring you the bad news, Mr Creosote. ----- NetDanzr<br /> -The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog- |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11097 | Eh? I didn't really follow the music market in the last ten years or so, but didn't the Stooges disband in 1973? ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 964 | Perhaps NetDanzr means something like "The very very best of the Stooges" that is released every year. |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 1007 | Nope - they reunited with Iggy Pop; their album is scheduled for release in early November. ----- NetDanzr<br /> -The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog- |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11097 | Do you mean "Skull Ring"? That's - as far as I know - a regular Iggy album with guest appearances by several other musicians. Including the old Stooges crew. ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 1007 | Really? They market the album here as "the long-awaited reunion og Iggy Pop and the Stooges" ----- NetDanzr<br /> -The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog- |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11097 | Yes, for one or two songs maybe I don't know more about this album than what I've just read on the Internet, but what I've found only tells there are various guests playing on this album: Peaches, Green Day, Sum 41 and also The (other) Stooges. "Little Electric Chair" is the only song I could confirm being the the (whole) Stooges (if you want to put it like that). Tuss: But are they performing anything new, or just the old stuff?

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 607 | Oh come on, you've got to love 'Computer World', it's one of my all-time favourite records. And 'Ralf & Florian', although exceptionally weird, is pretty neat too. ----- "One Very Important Thought" |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 964 | "Computerwelt" / "Computer World" is my current favourite by Kraftwerk. Although I normally don't like "electronic music" very much, I appreciate their innovation and their minimalistic style. I haven't heard their first three albums including "Ralf und Florian", but I read that they are somewhat "less electronic". |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 607 | I've always wondered: do the german versions of Kraftwerk albums actually have different lyrics, or just different titles? Because most of their tracks that actually have lyrics have both English and German in them... And you're right about their earlier stuff, those albums indeed have some 'real' instruments on them. Most of the time 'Ralf & Florian' sounds like a couple of guys trying to make classical music with some crappy 70s instruments and electronics; the result is something unique, sometimes it can really get on my nerves, sometimes it's very soothing, but it's definitely not 'easy listening'. I'd say give it a try if you ever have the chance, just don't expect to like it immediately. ----- "One Very Important Thought" |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 964 | As far as I can see, the English versions are translated from the German originals. Ususally both songs seem to consist of the same music with the lyrics in the respective language (if it's possible). The songs with German titles are completely in German normally. So far, I found one song ("Computer World") that has slightly different lyrics in both versions, and is not translated "literally". That doesn't change its "intention", though. Meanwhile, I checked the song "Ruckzuck" of the first LP, and all I can do is agree to your description. Edit: It sounds like some piece of hippie music in fact.
