Take nothing I say too seriously. Seeing Kraftwerk now is entirely a heritage experience, and has been since the release of their last new album, Tour De France Soundtracks, 14 years ago (and that was the very belated follow-up to 1986’ s Electric Café).
pos. Album Rating: 4.0good review, but "the voice of energy" was definitely not the first time kraftwerk used a vocoder.

Watch Queue Queue As Kraftwerk pioneered the use of industrial and machine genesis sounds, the radio must have been a very inspirational source of sound to embellish all of their works, and as such, this album is a homage to radio. There are, of course, differences – several of the new ‘members’ are bald, and the odd track from Tour De France is played – but essentially any Kraftwerk show between 1997 and 2017 is the same as the rest. The electronic arrangements Kraftwerk were using turned out to be superb tools for achieving this: precise enough to suggest mechanization and able to showcase the group's gift for simple, wistful melodies (like Autobahn's "Kometenmelodie 2"). Par ailleurs Kraftwerk, en privilégiant des titres plus courts, évite l'effet de lassitude que finissait d'inspirer le trop long et monotone 'Autobahn'. Watch Queue Queue. Other than intro track "Geiger Counter", which does for the album what "Speak to Me" did for The Dark SIde of the Moon but with clicks instead of heartbeats, the remaining ones are worthless.
Album Rating: 4.0sorry, assumed it was up because this albums details were up. It's certainly one of the most compact, paired-down albums they produced: one of the briefest at 38 minutes, and with no side-long epics or multi-part pieces. I like to think it's because this was the record where the band suddenly hit on one of the things they could do better than anyone else-- capture and make beautiful the precise sensations of everyday activity. Nothing has the dynamism or force of "Trans-Europe Express", but the title track, "Spacelab", and especially "Neon Lights" are thick, tone-drenched pleasures. Title track is their breakthrough for me, even moreso than the title track of their previous LP.
It brings The Catalogue full circle, back to the impressionist style of "Autobahn" and the marvellous skill Kraftwerk have of collapsing the distance between the music and its subject.
Aptly for a group so fascinated by travel they enjoy an image as the ultimate electronic pioneers-- "the reason music sounds like it does today," as one BBC documentary put it. This wasn't simply revisiting old ground: the opening five tracks of the Tour De France CD build into a rippling 20-minute piece that shares only an idea and a few keyboard figures with the older song. It's also where the band's remastering job is least effective. Florian Schneider, Kraftwerk co-founder, dies aged 73, The Voice of Energy (Die Stimme der Energie). This video is unavailable. Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffRAAADIOOO ACTIVITY, Digging: Have Mercy (MD) - Armageddon Descends, Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffThis song brings me back. The cuckoo-clock rhythms of "Europe Endless" turn up again on "Franz Schubert", clockwork keyboard figures that bring to mind the automata which delighted 18th and 19th century courts. This era is a constant reference point in Kraftwerk's 1970s material-- a lost time and opportunity in European, and specifically German history, erased by totalitarianism and war.

You've convinced me to check it out. Louder is part of Future plc, an international media group and leading digital publisher. As the only remaining, and now pensionable, human in the band, maybe it’s time he did just that. (If you don’t have Blu-ray, you don’t even get that, just a DVD or CD which sounds exactly like 2006’ s Minimum Maximum.). "Doté d'une production et de sonorités qui ont plutôt mal vieilli, "Radio-Activity" vaut essentiellement par son morceau-titre.". I have the Capitol CDs... and had original LPs before that... but couldn't resist the lure of remasters on nice, new vinyl. So why is Autobahn the official starting point? Album Rating: 4.0thanks for the feedback guys. As such it invites you to consider their achievements and development in relation to themselves, not to wider history. So it's easy to view The Mix-- a selection of their old work, digitised and retooled to 1990-era specifications-- with suspicion. "Europe Endless" is a love song to a continent's history and new-found, hard-won peacefulness. But there's some great music on the album: a fierce re-write of "Radioactivity" and an edit of "Autobahn" that brings out the song's playfulness. Generally, though, The Man Machine is unified only by consistent loveliness. This time, as ever, there is no new material and nothing to add to the canon except an upgrade in sound quality and, as the title of this collection tells us, 3D.
There was a problem. Everything they do well is here: As a hymn to a mode of travel the title suite manages to better "Autobahn", and the opening tracks show off their emotional economy and subtlety.

Genre: Electronic. Trans-Europe Express, on the other hand, is Kraftwerk hitting peaks of sublime clarity. After The Mix, silence for a rumor-filled decade, and then at last new work: an album about cycling, built around their magnificent 1983 single "Tour De France" and probably their most thematically focused record ever. Moins de douze mois après la déflagration produite par "Autobahn". love this album as of late, rarely do i review an album and actually convince myself it's as good as i say, this is one of them.

This box set is an opportunity to find out-- a remastered, sealed-off package of what Kraftwerk (or at least remaining founder Ralf Hutter) would like you to consider its canon. They are a band who, more than any other, catch in music what interaction with machines really feels like-- sometimes glorious, sometimes lonely and frightening, occasionally very funny. Kraftwerk 3D: The Catalogue review Nothing new from the onetime pioneers of future music By David Quantick 23 June 2017. Review Summary: Pay more attention to Kraftwerk's middle child and it might just change your mind. The ancient wireless on its cover is the record's ideal medium. Vous pouvez ici réagir au sujet de l'album ou de la chronique, expliquez pourquoi vous êtes d'accord ou non ou tout simplement raconter votre vie... Aucun commentaire. theyd probably lose me otherwise, Album Rating: 4.5When airwaves swing, distant voices sing Long-awaited box from one of the most important bands of the last 35 years presents their output from Autobahn forward in remastered and repackaged form. I've been a huge Kraftwerk fan for a long time. Its interface of desire, alienation, and technology is a bridge into some of the music on 1986's Techno Pop, like "Sex Object" and "The Telephone Call". The Catalogue skips past these to give you a run of five consecutive masterpieces, two albums whose flaws are at least intriguing, and then 2003's very fine Tour De France. An unexpected ode to radioactivity that manages to remove the fear and praise its strength in a new, electrified place where art meets science. Radio-Activity is somewhat of a forgotten classic when it comes to Kraftwerk fans.
