Remember this? "All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope." --Sir Winston Churchill "The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose." --James Earl Jones | |||

Great stuff. I have 4 of their vinyl albums. Of the 4, Tangram is my favorite. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

I have a number of their albums. Their bio on allmusic.com begins
They "worked on more than 30 film soundtracks during the 1980s, among them Risky Business, The Keep, Flashpoint, Firestarter, Vision Quest, and Legend." I don't care for all of their work. Some of it was almost too minimalistic. But they didn't only make "laid back" music, or electronic noodling, their 220 Volt Live album (1993) even covered a version of Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze. Their history is perhaps the longest-running band of the same name (given personnel changes) of the past half century. And now, locals in Florida can check them out at the library! You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless. NRA Benefactor/Patriot Member | |||

Yep, I have heard of them since I bought Phaedra back in 1974. I have 21 cds by them. Also 1 by Christopher Franke, 3 by Edgar Froese and 22 by Klaus Schulze. I like some electronica.  "But, as luck would have it, he stood up. He caught that chunk of lead." Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock | |||

They're legendary in electronic music / synthesizer circles. | |||

so sexy it hurts |
I stopped buying their albums after 'Tyger' from the late 80's. I still listen to several of their records: Stratosfear, Phaedra, Tangram, Exit, Force Majeure....all still very good and aging well (unlike other pioneers in electronic music like Kraftwerk) "You have the right not to be killed..."

Yes.

Heresy, I say. Kraftwerk was thoroughly entertaining and excellent, live, in recent years. And they had a huge crowd jamming and dancing like it was all brand new. Here's Kraftwerk's crowd at Coachella in 2008 as an example, 60k or so people:   | |||
