I just bought it, and it's ACE! These old boys of electronica really know how to do that WARM, smooth sound, without loosing its electronic crisp in the making. Definitely one of the top ten album of this year.....rrrrrrrrrecommended!

:) Kjøpte den på Platekompaniet... og betalte nok mer enn som så... Yeah it's great, and the warmest sounding electronica-record I've heard in ages! I also bought a copy of LFO's new single "Freak". It's as insane as "Tied up"... It makes me want to party and go absolutely bonkers! Bring on the sixandninety!!! ;)

it's a disappointment. Almost all their previous albums are better than this one.

I know exactly what you mean by ''warm and smooth'', they put me in a nice place.

I think it's shit. Seriously, I can't understand why people rave about this album...imagine, if you will, that Kraftwerk was NOT written on the front cover, but a new random band...now you'd see its blandness, its reptitiveness (note, boring, not "hypnotizing") and its massive cheesyness. The sounds are bland, the beats are pathetic, the tunes are cheesy, and it goes on and on and on and on.
Oh, and I loved Computer World and The Mix. Thought they were dead catchy. This new release is just dead.

It's soo easy to diss-miss things, I could say 'the mix' is complete shit with its references to swingbeat! The internet is full of bogus opinons, Kraftwerk make technical music, they made it. Maybe they didn't use the cheesy granualar preset tools that you knobs use and think you are 'intelligent'. If it wasn't for them you'd be playing a mandolin probably.

how can you like computerworld with stuff like pocket calculator then..? aren't all kraftwerk melodies cheesy and aren't all their beats so simplistic you could call'em pathetic, that's the power of kraftwerk right?

Stop fooling around, it's a masterpiece! You can even listen to all the tracks on the album on Kraftwerk's very own homepage!

I was worried at first because I HATE trance music and this is a bit trancey... but its not boring or bland like most other trance i've heard.

Prologue, in it's glorious couple of seconds of lenght, is one of the most emotionnal electronic piece I've ever heard. I don't know why, but those sounds, they just feel completely out of our world. The album is so technical, I can understand people not liking it.

I love their live setup. They all done jumpsuits and occasionally tweak a filter or trigger a sample. Its very Man-Machine
