Name: Tommy Vance Kraftwerk interview, 1981 by DJ Food in kraftwerk
Duration: 10 min 39 s
Description: In 1981, BBC Radio 1 DJ Tommy Vance saw Kraftwerk play the opening night of their 'Computer World' tour in Manchester, England. Afterwards he interviewed Ralf Hutter for his Friday Rock Show and managed to get quite a revealing response, including some uncharacteristic humour. I've edited out the music as tastefully as I can and cleaned up the audio but the quality isn't great to begin with.

Hahahaa, Karl and his big shoes! But it seems that this is faster replayed, because Ralf used to talk slowly.

Cheers for this man...downloaded and readied to be cut up and regurgutated in one form or another!!!

Excuse Me

I do these hour long mixes every year or so featuring cover versions, sample-heavy tracks or songs that obviously owe a debt to the Dusseldorf quartet. Each mix is laced with spoken word, interviews or info about Kraftwerk too. This one is from 14/12/07 and was originally aired on Solid Steel.
I had the idea several years ago and the more I dug, the more I found, the amount of material out there is mind boggling. Not so strange for such an influential band who rarely release new material I suppose, fans have to fill the gap somehow. 
I'll be uploading the previous 4 volumes in 2012, Volume 6 is already on here and I have vol.7 planned out and waiting for a gap in the schedule to put together
