on Kraftwerk

Autobahn is the only album I really love of theirs. The recent vinyl reissue is amazing.

I never got into it because It sounds too outdated to me. Eletronic music evolved and as a listener I am part of that evolution.

this is a bad post and you should feel bad.

Maximum boner part on the minimum maximum album

yo yo yeah minimum-maximum is a must, really great production

as a german, i came into contact with kraftwerk very early in my life, so i was only late because i'm too young.

i bought "Radioaktivität" LP some weeks ago, love it.

if you think their stuff sounds outdated, you could try the KLING-KLANG Remastered versions of their albums they did.

OR you could listen to the great "Balanescu Quartet - Posessed" which is a violin quartet playing kraftwerk songs (made in the 90ies i think).

my favourite of kraftwerk "Musique Non Stop"

electric cafe is great

Radioaktivität

is an absolutely brilliant album

I don't have much to add except I went to see them live last year when they did the Tour De France soundtracks plus greatest hits and it was without doubt the best gig I have ever been to, with the greatest sound I've ever heard and an amazing setlist. Top 5 band ever for me.

I cannot wait for their next album, regardless of who's left in the band, still trust them to deliver.

Have you guys checked out Strictly Kev's (DJ Food) series of Kraftwerk cover/inspired-by mixes? The man's a legendary DJ (he made Blech, after all) and his mixes are inspired, humorous & fun. I've only heard the 1st mix (of 8!) but it's highly recommended.

Kraftwerk invented the twerk.

lol

imo kraftwerk is one of the bands of this century most likely to be remembered for a longggg time, especially if electronic music is here to stay & not some decades-long fad.

i don't think this forum would exist if there was no kraftwerk

better than drexciya

Ahhhh I remember listening to computer world, electric cafe and trans europe express back when i was just getting into electronic music. great music and great memories. almost never listen to kraftwerk these days but when i do itll always bring back fond memories.
