You think so? OK then. But what if it ain't so? And why is English such a pain in a butt language? :cry:

6 Jan 2005, 09:13

Rafty, with a K added at the beginning. Or perhaps "drafty" with a K instead of a D.

6 Jan 2005, 09:19

Well i'm going to be the first to say i dont like it. :evil4:

6 Jan 2005, 09:29

Well it IS an homage to Kraftwerk and those of you out there who like the technoish side of NewOrder will be very pleased with this.

As a matter of fact, I managed to get a MP3 of it!!!!!!!! Just tell me where to send it and I'll be glad to share.

6 Jan 2005, 09:36

And they are all lying bastards :uhoh: :D

I like the name of the single a lot more than the name of the album :wink:

6 Jan 2005, 10:38

Yeah right, of course he has it :rolleyes:

Promos aren't even pressed yet!

6 Jan 2005, 10:44

How come none of this news in on WIM yet?

"Hotline to Hooky" my arse...

6 Jan 2005, 10:54

I like 'Krafty' as a name for the single and look forward to hearing it on the radio soon. I don't really like the album name, but so what eh? things are about to get exciting......

I believe Mr Sultan must be on vacation, because he got the Warner Musique France mail the last time too...

Otherwise, I don't get it, it's the type of news he uses to get before I do...

Regardless, I'm going to at least pretend it is a Canadian homage to "Kraft Dinner". (canadian brand macaroni and cheese).

6 Jan 2005, 11:56

Staying on the food theme, it made me think of Kraft cheese slices. Nice

I reckon it refers to German, "Kraft" (yep, halfway to Kraftwerk). So in English it may mean something like "Mighty". :shrug:

It also could be the name of a character in the song. Maybe it's a story about a hooligan son of a Kraft Foods top manager/owner. :laugh:

Kraftwerk = Power station

Which also the name of that collaboration between Duran Duran's bassist and the Addicted To Love guy. They did a bad cover of Get It On.

Maybe they wanted to call it 'Kraft' but had to stick the Y on to avoid copyright scuffles?

Don't worry, Barney'll rename it the way you suggested just at a first gig to happen. :D

6 Jan 2005, 13:19

I've just woke up and got out of my coffin,just logged on and seen the news about the new single..

6 Jan 2005, 13:25

And did Warner confirm Phil as an official member of the band? I still can't face this as real. :cry:

Well, I didn't ask, but it's confirmed that it is indeed written in C4's Teletext by the author itself, and that is what New Order's publicist said.

So you can take this for granted, he's now a full member, you have to worship him! :evil4:

To quote:

Yes, the other part of our story mentioned that Phil is a full-time member now; apparently he will be seen in the band's new press photos.

6 Jan 2005, 13:44

:cry: Well, in the most pessimist view it is the first side-project with three members of the original band. :cry: :cry: :cry:

:skeptic:

I don't see the difference from the Get Ready tour, Phil's with the band since 2001. Most people here must feel very happy that it's not Billy Corgan ;)
