Last Sunday I bought "The Man Machine" by Kraftwerk (1978). Well friends, I'm finding it really superlative, i'm really surprised that in 1978 they played a so beautiful electronic music. ___________________________________ \/\/ooÆ’ER |

'Computer World'(1981),is supposed to be their ultimate release,and my personal favourite. Others worth considering are 'Electric Cafe'(1986) and 'The Mix'(1991),although others prefer their 60's and 70's stuff. |

Nah, their best stuff is easily the first 3 Kraftwerk albums Kraftwerk 1 - amazing semi-acoustic brain odyssey Kraftwerk 2 - Intense proto ambient spunkyness Ralf and Florian - Their finest moment |

those old albums... from like Radioactivity and back... don't they sound very dated? I haven't dared buying them because of that... Computerworld sounds great though... |
||||||||

The track2 of "The Man Machine" called SPACELAB is really great!!! |

hehe....you'll soon be totally addcited to KW, mate... Man Machine is supurb but Trans Europe Express is even better to my mind... but all their shit is timeless...can't thing any other band that come close to Aphex/AE/SQPR/PanaSonice in terms of the sheer mastery of their sound... Plus they make me laugh...they are so very ironic at times...so much for their un-human image....I think many miss the humour in their aesthetic... Got a couple of books I can dig out if you wanna read about em...should be still available on Amazon.... |

Acidophilus, those pre-radioactivity albums sound so amazingly fresh and new, its their man machin, computer world stuff that sounds dated, still brilliant though, but dated. When i first heard Kraftwerk 2 i was pissing myself laughing it sounded bang up to date and beyond, this was in 1994. Sounds a wee bit like Leafcutter John, now i think about it. But just go for it, you will not regret it. |

Dont forget Autobahn, 22min long and just so lovely. The live album Concert Classics is kind of nice, there is a ~10min "pause" where you just hear some synthloop and after a while someone says "excuse us, our drummachine is broken, we will fix this as fast as we can". |

one of the best kraftwerk albums, and one of the best ever albums. my personal favourite out of all their albums is trans europe express |

imo die mensch maschine version sounds even better, with german vocals. german language suits better with robots it seems ;] |

When I first heard "The Mix" I shit my pants, even though it hasn't dated quite as well as some of their other albums. Who makes albums that good anymore? No-one. |
