What's your Kraftwerk?
It's a Kraftwerk kind of night. Ralf & Florian, then Kraftwerk 1, then Autobahn, then Computer World. Fancy a bit of Radioactivity later too. What's your Kraftwerk?

To be honest...
I have only given them a go after watching the excellent BBC4 documentary on Krautrock. I would really like to hear the very first material that they have done so much to distance themselves from.
You can get that stuff here...

Man Machine
then Trans Europe Express
then Radioactivity
then Computer World
then Autobahn
then Tour De France
then Ralf and Florian
then 1 and 2 (the traffic cone albums)
no love for Electric Cafe / Techno Pop?
Not unless it was the last Kraftwerk album on earth
Radioactivity
establishes a singular mood then runs with it perfectly
The mix
Not generally liked but good place to start.
Obviously tee is best
Trans Europe Express
and my dog agrees ... as you can see about 1'26" into this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MQmsHPwLvU
: )
Studio album: Computer World
But from all their releases I like Minimum-Maximum the most. It's kind of live greatest hits on 2 CDs.
Just listened to Man Machine for the first time in ages.
Didn't enjoy it at all. Sounds kinda dated. Kinda thin. And The Model is a fairly nice song but not a good Kraftwerk song.
Try the remastered version. Better sound quality.
Probably it will change your mind a bit.
Neon Lights is fantastic
with that hypnotic end that goes on and on, puts me into a lovely trance everytime
Will maybe give it a go, cheers.
Just found it all a bit twinkly and glitzy and generic.
Their only album that never really grabbed me...
Ralf & Florian
TEE
Autobahn
TDF Soundtracks
Trans-Europe Express
Computer World
The Mix ("I'd have to say, the best of Kraftwerk")
Radioactivity
The Man Machine
Electric Cafe
But usually when I want a KW fix, I just stick on the Minimum-Maximum live album.
Man Machine
Trans Europe Express close behind
The Man Machine > Computer World > Radioactivity > Trans Europe Express > Autobahn
You people are mental, Man Machine is clearly their worst.
ON OPPOSITE DAY
You stanstubbs are mental, Man Machine is clearly one of their best
TEE > Autobahn > Man Machine > Radioactivity > TDF > Computer World > Electric cafe
