    Hi Martin

    Just checked that track out, very good, but somehow the live versions Autobahn and The Model do it for me more!

    You might light to try Jean Michael Jarre "Aero" throw the DVD away, keep the CD and revel in the über fast bass that only multiple bass drivers can do!!!

    Regards

    Dave

    ...Or single 15-inchers per side in huge (wide front baffle) cabinets!!

    Yes, I've also got the Kraftwerk stuff, and it's a total riot...

    For stunt bass, though, IMO nothing beats 'Electro Cardiogram'. When the bass line kicks in it's like a f*cking earthquake through the Tannoys - fast, deep, tight, and massively extended!!!











    Enjoy!!

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... There's nothing 'slow' about them!! You really must come up sometime, mate, so I can 'educate' you... You'll wet your pants

    Are you coming to Scalford Hall in March?

    'Electro Cardiogram' is on Disc 4, Track 4 of the 'Minimum Maximum' box set, which I have on vinyl.

    Yes, when the truck starts up... Feel it??? It's stomach-churning in its intensity.........

    You could probably measure it on the Richter scale, baby!!!

    I think that indicates I heard it!

    Have you got Yello "Lost Again" on 12"?

    LOL!! What are you like? I was referring to the other track 'Electro Cardiogram' on The 'Minumum Maximum' box set, not bloody Autobahn!!

    Is this what it'll be like when I'm over 50?



    I asked you to listen to it - have you got it?

    I'll check on the Yello 12" - should have it

    Marco, I'm tired of this, please read my postings! Of course I heard 'Electro Cardiogram' , how else could I have compared it with Autobahn ? Autobahn if you look is also in your boxed set.

    But I'm bowing out on this topic! Too much hard work.....

    Respect

    Dave
