Kratwerk "the model" classical version

[the bearded one]

this has been bugging me for years...there's a classical version of "the model"by kraftwerk that i've heard sampled a couple of times,i think it's on "i'm riffin 1990 remix" by mc duke, (and someone,maybe the chemical brothers?,played on an radio 1"essential mix" years ago)...does anyone know who it's by and where i might find it? thanks!

Cant help as I lost my 'Im riffin' about 4 years ago. Top top top top tune. Prodigy sampled it didnt they?

Is that the kraftwerk sample? I'm still confused...

This site says mc duke sampled the plain vanilla 'model'.

hey sermad,dunno if you're interested,but i 've just seen a copy of this for a fiver...will go back and pick it up for you if you want?

also,in the same place i picked up a copy of the young disciples "step right on" promo 12" i've been looking for (i mentioned this in the acid jazz thread a few weeks back)...it's in the wrong sleeve though, don't s'pose anyone has a spare talkin' loud sleeve (or am i being overly nerdy?)

Here's a coincidence. I found one of these one lunchtime last week for a quid.

Mine's got its sleeve, which is specific to the record rather than a generic Talking Loud one. Was this ever a proper release 12" or just promo? The sleeve says something about it only being available on a forthcoming compilation.

By the way, check out the message scratched into the run out...

fyi - the balanescu quartet did a whole LP of classical covers of kraftwerk songs, they also did a really interesting jazz covers LP, interesting because they are a string quartet (or not).

I think they are most famous for that really dull love letters thing they did with Elvis Costello.

"step right on" was on the b-side of "get yourself together" but i think it was a different (and not as good version)...didn't realise it had a "proper" sleeve,i remembered it just being a generic talkin loud one....

The Balanescu set is called 'Possessed' and it was issued on Mute in '92: CD is pretty commonplace, I think, but I've personally never seen a vinyl copy (not that I've ever looked for one). On the same subject, Kronos Quartet have done some similar things (their string quartet take on 'Purple Haze' is pretty good - I saw them do it live, and the violinist started bowing his lines behind his head Jimi-style, but didn't - unfortunately - do the lighter-fuel thing too...) and I really liked the Senor Coconut set of cheesy latin takes on Kraftwerk tunes: amazing how well those tunes adapt to almost any arrangement. Did any of the Easy Maestros (Last, Faith etc) ever have a go at any Kraftwerk?

don't lose any sleep over the sleeve. it's nothing fancy - sort of generic looking with artist / title details on the front and a bit of old blurb on the back.

the dub's the version for me. "step right on" later appeared on their LP (if i remember correctly - ain't got it any more).
