The thought just occurred to me (time check -> 4.40 am, mmmh)

'I'm the operator with my pocket calculator, by pressing down a special key it plays a little melody'

mmmmmh, I wonder...

why, did you date them?

fnarr, fnarr.

I suppose the word I was looking for was 'aged', as in, they've not aged very well - so now they sound dated

-Paws (1,000 posts and all of them shite! How's that!)

[sarcasm] tags would prevent soooo many little silly tiffs which occur in purely textual based communication environments such as forums and e-mail...you should patent the [sarcasm] tag and do it quick before someone else makes a million from it.

BTW, been looking at the lovely picture included in the resources...the one of the beatiful scene from the forest with snow. Well, it looks like theres been bikes cycling up that path...that certainly aint car tracks, maybe theres a clue in there...something to do with bikes? And another question is, where does the path lead, whats around the corner waiting for us? The path is also slightly s-shaped, maybe something to do with sinewaves? Mmmmh. If we follow the cycle tracks we might just find out? First we have to locate the Forest. "Operator Forest" returned no hits in google, but maybe "Operator National Park" might be more fruitful. Failing that, someone will have to investigate if the Ab's have been on any off road cycle tracks recently. That would pin point it...mmmh, any recent monolake gigs in snow covered places? Either that or the forest is just a red-herring designed to through us of the trail. Its still a nice picture though, kinda like where I imagine noisetonepause to live.

Thats right, they were heavily into Cycling. In fact, most Kraftwerk interviews you read they always want to talk about Cycling. Ahhh, Tour de France....maybe the picture is somewhere in France, where it snows..

Kraftwerk - Operator - play a melody - Cycling - Tour De France - France - a digitally modelled traditional French instrument, possibly also used by Kraftwerk, the plot thickens but the players stay the same...
