RARE Kraftwerk from 1971




I







Kraftwerk
K4: Bremen Radio 1971 [SEIDR 026]
Live at Gondel Kino, Bremen, Germany, June 25, 1971.

I was just turned on to this amazing, extremely rare live Kraftwerk recording and I wanted to share it with you. The lineup is different and includes members of Neu! and has a very different sound than typical early Kraftwerk. It sounds very much like Can with the guitar driven lengthy Krautrock jams.

You can find the downloads and full album information on the BigO site:
BigO Worldwide Website
"There isn't any extra information about this unofficial release either in the liner notes or on the interweb thing - however, as you listen it becomes obvious that this is indeed a recording of the rather short-lived lineup of Kraftwerk that includes Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger in its ranks! That's right - Neu! as part of Kraftwerk!!!

"It's basically a whole CD of extended "side-long" jams in the style of the first Kraftwerk albums performed in front of a small but enthusiastic audience and broadcast on Bremen Radio in 1971. The members of Neu! really take a forward role here, with Rother's guitar driving things for most of the time and sounding quite rocking, with glimpses of his future soaring melodic sound in the extended jam passages. The guitar and drums are backed up by synth and I believe organ bass, with notable exceptions of flute taking the forefront on the great version of Ruckzack (from the first Kraftwerk LP) and is it distorted electric violin on K4? Maybe just Rother taking a violin bow to his guitar strings! Proto-Kraftwerk and proto-Neu! It's exciting stuff, and on top of that the sound quality is excellent - a professional radio recording.

"How has this recording not become better known over the past 35 years since it was made?! I don't know. It appears to be a newly released CDR edition with good-quality (but privately printed) packaging. Maybe it has stayed in the Radio Bremen archives until now? If you're sceptical about the authenticity I'm sure a listen will persuade you... and hearing someone in the crowd shout "Michael!" in the last second of the recording is the icing on the cake." - Little Bear [who shared the recording on the internet]

This isn’t the motorik, some might even say monotonous, electronic sound of Kraftwerk. Early Kraftwerk were more experimental with sounds and effects - not quite dance music.

Very nice, but definetely neither Kraftwerk nor Neu! Most likely explanation: this is a live recording of an unknown group that in one song happened to quote Kraftwerk's "Ruckzuck" theme, which had become quite popular as it was used as opening music for a political TV magazine ("Kennzeichen D") in Germany at that time.

Once again: no Kraftwerk, no Neu! Too bad :-(

re: Anonymous's Dismissal

I'm not so sure that it's a fake. They didn't just "happen" to quote Ruckzuck, they also begin with Von Himmel Hoch, one of the great Kraftwerk noise jams from that era. If you actually listen to Kraftwerk's first two albums, and not just for long enough to know the "theme," you'll see that there's plenty on this recording that echoes those albums and Organisation's Tone Float quite convincingly. Even just the first minute or two of the album should do it; NO ONE but Kraftwerk at that era has relied on that particular sound.

In summary: This is a beautiful, heavy recording that is worth whatever lengths necessary to obtain. I'm convinced that it IS Kraftwerk/Rother/Ding, and beyond that, it's definitely the most exciting Krautrock album you've never heard.

2019.10.10台北知名酒店經紀公司宣布,創新酒店上班的酒店小姐與外送到府服務之外,將推出全新酒店打工的「賺錢現領」(Uber Works)的全新應用程式(App),此新項目即日起在中國市場實驗一年,主要替公司企業老闆尋找合適陪睡(性交易)的酒店小姐。酒店經紀指出,想要透過這項新項目找到酒店兼差工作者,需先通過Uber以及酒店經紀公司進行的背景調查,知名酒店經紀公司梁曉尊執行長說,在調查過程中,Uber會詢問酒店兼職應徵者是否具有與該職位相關配合度,如:工作性質本能、口交、口爆(射在嘴巴裡) 、顏射(精子射在臉上) 、開後門(肛交) 、制服(角色扮演)。此外慎重嚴禁不得內射(精子射在裡面),基於健康安全及職業道德。

2019.11.16台北知名酒店經紀11日發布薪資統計指出,受飯局陪睡、跨國援交業等行業經常性薪資成長趨緩影響,9月酒店工作的酒店小姐常性薪資年增率跌破2%、僅1.72%,創下近28個月最低。知名酒店經紀表示,市場八大行業經常性薪資年增率,近兩年酒店打工大都保持在2%以上,9月大學生兼差酒店上班跌破3%,主因為部分八大行業按月發放的績效獎金減少所致,包括制服店、便服店、禮服店、鋼琴酒吧、日式酒店、飯局、傳播,經常性薪資增幅都較低。酒店經紀統計上班族酒店兼職薪資年增率,近兩年除了兩個月(2017年11月、2019年2月)不到4%之外,其餘各月皆在3%以上,今年9月年增率2.33%,是2017年6月以來最低。

2020.03.11酒店工作深夜心聲:走到這一步是不是覺得有些無奈呢?"曾經"很多人跟妳心情是一樣的~!!
"現在"也有很多人和妳的狀況一樣~!!假設妳目前沒有男友...妳大概會因為經濟問題考量而入行了!!
首先建議妳...問自己一個問題吧~!!~這段感情...有沒有未來~?
靜下來想清楚的話...妳才考慮要不要去酒店上班~
PS:因為男友一定早晚會知道(如日夜顛倒 其他男生來電 收入增加 有時全身酒味...等)如果他有能力...妳何需如此??他知道了又不能改變什麼...除非他有能力改變妳的困境吧!!如果他能且有能力...那麼在決定去以前...跟他好好溝通一下比較妥當~!!或許他可以幫妳的!!夜生活表面看來光鮮亮麗...其實很多心酸苦楚是只有當事人自己清楚的!在這行妳更可以看清楚所謂"真實的人性"~!!
酒店打工其實那也不是不好...還是有些人在裡面得到成長的...即使是跌跌撞撞的長大!怎麼不讓自己被環境影響太深,怎麼在那種特殊環境中保護自己,妳自己要有一點最起碼的準備...不管是心理上還是生理上~!!還是建議妳把心態先調整好...然後才去投入這環境工作。
否則...有選擇...就要去負責!!。以後如果真的要去上班了...那請專心投入"賺錢"這檔事吧!!感情的話...工作以前的...可能都會失去!工作以後的...保證沒一個是認真對妳的~!!儘早賺夠所需要的錢...早日離開比較實在!!
