Kraftwerk - 3D Catalogue (May 27th)

There were a couple of completely insane moments at the 3D show (the UFO flyover comes to mind). It almost made me wish I hadn't gotten front row. Almost. They even took their bow on my side of the stage.

I can't wait until Richard gets into his 60's and starts releasing shit like this to fund his retirement

They played the full song at my show, not the abridged version, and I actually cried

 

We didn't get Europe Endless but it was so worth it

I've been on a serious Kraftwerk bender since this was announced.

 

Interpol and Deutsche Bank, FBI and Scotland Yard...

I'm glad people enjoy that segment of the show, but oh my god, I dont care about that particular song, and so for me that was a 15 minute snoozefest with shitty 3d graphics of cars driving around... I dont understand the appeal, but I guess thats probably not something someone could really explain to me

it is, it's called pastiche

god the vinyls look great.... will wait until i've heard the music on the blu-ray

Well that is an extremely lush set of records.

The preview of The Robots is pretty great. Can't wait to xperience the reworked Tour de France

 

EDIT: Turned on Minimum-Maximum to gear up for the release and forgot how absolutely incredible these guys are live. I struggle to think of an electronic act that puts on a better live show, most of the tracks on here are even better than the original studio recordings

Yeah this version of The Robots is awesome. If every album is reworked that way I might be getting the whole set (even tho I'm not a die-hard Kraftwerk fan and still need to listen to some of their albums in their entirety).

Too bad the tracklist of the more-affordable-abridged-version is not very appealing to me because that would have been a great compromise I guess

My Kraftwerk sets arrived today, vinyl and Blu-ray sets. The reimagined versions of many tracks are excellent. I've never seen them live so this is probably the best I'm going to get.

so this is fucking incredible

It's good on Spotify.

 

The vinyl box getting brutal reviews on Amazon.

why??

Well, I haven't seen the Amazon reviews but it's certainly questionable money, especially the CDs. Some of them run only 20-30 mins.

Link? I found a 5-star, a 4, and a 3. That's hardly brutal.

I was also wondering about the "short" tracklisting, like the reworked Computer World only spanning across 4 tracks because of the reworking, but the original albums also were kinda short weren't they?
