Kraftwerk visit Fife



Free-Form experimentellem Rock mit einer Mischung aus menschlichen und verarbeitet werden, synthetisierten Stimme war schon immer ein großer Ansatz für Van Credenza. Wie Ralf Hütter wir nicht gerne über unser persönliches Leben zu sprechen, doch jetzt ist eine unserer großen heroischen icons gehen, um einen Ort nicht weit von unserem Haus zu besuchen.
Das ist unser Tribut.

Free rock-forme expérimentale avec un mélange d'humain et traitées, la voix synthétisée a toujours été une bonne approche pour Van Credenza. Comme Ralf Hütter nous n'aimons pas parler de nos vies personnelles, mais maintenant c'est un grand feu de nos icônes héroïques pour visiter un endroit non loin de notre maison.
C'est notre hommage.

This is our tribute.

Free-form rock sperimentale con un mix di voce umana sintetizzata e trasformati è sempre stato un grande codolo per Van Credenza. Come Ralf Hütter non ci piace parlare di nostra vita personale, ancora oggi, uno dei nostri grandi icone eroiche sta per visitare un luogo non troppo lontano da casa nostra.
Questo è il nostro tributo.

Al igual que Ralf Hütter no nos gusta hablar de nuestra vida personal, sin embargo, ahora, uno de los grandes iconos heroicos va a visitar un lugar no muy lejos de nuestra casa.

Little Yellow Insects



The Bob Myers Trio, from Du Quoin, Illinois, first recorded Little Yellow Insects in a basement close to the site of the WDQN radio tower way back in 1966. Released initially only in the three states of Iowa, Illinois and Indiana, the song raced up local charts due to the infectious relentless beat which contrasted with country influenced chart music at that time. Beat music fans saw the number as a fun novelty tune, but soon Myers was to dampen any hope he had of making it as a pop star.
~+*+~+*~+*~+*~+*~+*+~
In an August 1966 interview for Billboard magazine, Myers chose to praise US foreign policy and the nation's involvement in Vietnam, called for the army to shoot all civil rights demonstrators, expressed sympathy for recently infamous mass murderer Charles Whitman who had gone on a shooting spree from the top of the University of Texas, and shed doubt over the authenticity of the US space program. 
~+*+~+*~+*~+*~+*~+*+~
A quote from that interview by Myers: "The Bob Myers Trio's central conceit has always been about the intrinsic conflict of human nature. Things alter but at the end of the day stay the same. Of course, history always repeats itself. We never forget we are a part of what we talk about so we deliver everything with a sense of gravity."

'Little Yellow Insects' had been due for nationwide release in mid September, but The Bob Myers Trio was quickly dropped from radio rosters, and Myers quickly dropped off pop music's radar.
