RE: [microsound] war



Whoa, there!  German music has roots in a lot of things.  My family on
my mother's side are East Prussians, and polka is not an overwhelming
influence in that region.  Some of the ancestors actually played
dudelsacks (bagpipes), not accordions (which seem to be more common with
Bavarians to the south).  Sprockets was a jab at Berlin arty
pretentiousness, and a bit of Kraftwerk poking, but doesn't indicate
much in reality.

Not James Brown type funky, Kraftwerk would almost be like a bad
stereotype
to german dance music.
Remeber Sprokits on SLN? that was funny.
German music has it's roots in Polka.
The old Moog record popcorn sounds European reminds me of Isolee.
