> I'm pretty sure that the Spanish radio mp3 is different from the one I

> Afterward, Mark & Lard gave the title as "Tour de France Stages 1,2 and
> 3" so maybe they played the whole CD sequence, and what I heard was
> Stage 3? Can anyone else clarify?

> Electric Cafe... it's like bloody Christmas here in Kraftwerk-land!
