If i wouldn't have heard Ralf voice i would have thought this interview was fake seeing how Ralf and Kraftwerk usually behaves with the press. This is amazing, Thank you very much for this. The ""unplugged"" version of Pocket Calculator... just great!
+sas147741 - Beacon Radio was a very cutting edge station and this kind of interview wasn't unusual. The station began by promoting obscure bands which it thought were worthy of a wider audience. Look up Beacon Radio's history here: www.mds975.co.uk/Content/beacon_radio_wolverhampton.html and here: eprints.worc.ac.uk/1430/1/Independent_Local_Radio_(ILR)_in_the_West_Midlands,_1972-198.pdf
Nice to hear the early Kraftwerk songs. Some I heared were: Atem Ruckzuck Stratovarius Wellenlänge Strom Autobahn Radioactivity The Voice Of Energy Abzug The Hall of Mirrors The Robots Spacelab Numbers Computer World It's More Fun to Compute Pocket Calculator Computer World 2
I think this was the first time that somebody ever said the words software and hardware in 1981. Outstanding.
Very good English and such a soothing voice. Great insight into the band and their ideas.
Amazing. These guys were decades ahead of everyone. Thank you!
Thank you for this upload, these interviews are so rare, they're a great insight into the band.
