> So you don't like Kraftwerk, eh?

I'm afraid I'm not a Kraftwerk fan, no.

I was always leaning more on the mystical / "cosmical" / organic
side of electronic music than on the technical side. (stange for
someone who also builds machines ...)

Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream (Zeit !!), Popol Vuh, Brian Eno
were the heroes of my youth. (Even Vangelis and some Kitaro.)

Maybe I'm doing Kraftwerk wrong (in that case I apologize), but
I always had the impression that their focus was on the coldness,
un-human-ness and technical nature of electronic music, while
the above mentioned artist tried to achieve the opposite.
All right: The "cosmos" which was evoked by Tangerine Dream
was a cold one, too - but certainly a very different kind of "cold".
Hard to put into words - I better stop now.
