Kraftwerk, and the Electronic revolution – documentary

Kraftwerk And The Electronic Revolution by Thomas Arnold

This long documentary (180 minutes !!!) attempts to cover the rise of German electronic and experimental music from the 1960s, centered on Kraftwerk but focusing on the large avant-garde/ kraut rock scene that developed in the eastern Europe.

Aside form the many clips, both from videoclip and concerts, very interesting to me is the long interview with Karl Bartos (member of Kraftwerk form 1975 unitl the 90′s).

it’s a long documentary but  very nice produced  which reminds me of another fabulous music documentary aired on BBC4 called Synth Britannia, here the topic is the english new wave but the seed still came from the Kraftwerk.

Aphex Twin – MTV UK Party Zone Special From 1996

I just found this on Filter27 blog and decided to repost it in here.

it’s a good special UK Mtv dedicated to AphexTwin and I think it’s cool even if it’s hard for me to understand clearly when Richards speaks 

 

the interview goes really deep into Richard’s life and sentiments and music and influencies on his work, also lots of great videos in it!

at 6:00 you can watch the video of “ON” released in 1993 for Warp record, it’s  a great tune wich shows all the good sounds Warp records expressed in those years.

Grundeinkommen – reddito garantito: it’s some you want to think about

“We spent the last 100 years freeing men and women from labour,  rationalizing and automating the factories and now we cringe because there are no working place for everyone”

 

 

I think it’s time for us to see other possibilities, it’s defenetly time to re-think/re-shape/re-imagine our society.

watch this excellent documentary filmed by Daniel Hani and Enno Schmidt and we may go for a more sustainable life.

 

the idea is the Basic Income Guarantee, a system which provides each citizen with a sum of money in order to provide for individual basic human needs, the smart thing is that the sum is entirely unconditional.

If we are all granted with a basic sum of money to dignity live, we can then choose where to focus, what to do with our life,  where and how to work. so we could be all freed from the income struggle and start to live. this is not just an utopia it’s completeply affordable by the taxes we pay.

Basic Income Network.

How can be a raw carrot more expensive then some fatty and processed french fries?
