Aug 31 & Sept 1 - Tour de Frog

[Extended Play]

I can't really think of what to say overall about this week's show . . . . So, I'll just talk abotu the first album for this week's show.

Kraftwerk just recently released their latest album (in the US at least) after long 15 years of no new albums. This is supposedly a reworking of the TechnoPop album that got shelved back in 1983. So, we'll be celebrating that release, along with a few other classics and recent additions.

The band line up is:

Steve Hillage (Steve Hillfish) : guitar, vocals
Miquette Giraudy (Bambaloni Yoni) : bells
Didier Malherbe (Bloomdido Glid De Breeze) : sax, flute
Lindsay Cooper : bassoon
Tim Blake (Moonweed) : synthesizer, percussion
Dave Stewart : organ, piano
Mike Howlett : bass
Pierre Moerlen : drums, marimba.

The music on this album is still as fresh as it was when it was released in 1975. As I said I love it and listen often.
