anyone heard these yet? is it good, or crappy lifeless overcompressed sterile? |
||||||||

just a quick browse at the amazon reviews tell me they are far better than the old CD's. Didn't even know remasters are out, may get a couple for xmas. |
||||||||

Haven't a clue. I reckon they're a bit overpriced though, at least over here in the UK. Especially without any bonus audio. Even so, I put all my older Kraftwerk CDs up on Discogs today. Not expecting much interest but it's worth a go. |

i think they'll use a different microsoft sam on The Man Machine for this |

They're good. |

yeah, definately worth hunting down |

I might need to check these out, even if it's just for Radioactivity. |

: "Sadly, the remaster is a fiasco. The soft tones of “Computer Love” become sharp, the wide spaces of “Home Computer” contract into tunnels, and “Pocket Calculator” bears down on us like a spiked ceiling in a horror film. Equally poor is the remastered Radio-activity, where atmospheric crackles and hisses have been removed by noise reduction software. For pity’s sake, they’re part of the music! Autobahn, Trans-Europe Express and The Man-Machine have less sound-quality issues, but are all inferior to the original EMI CDs. Anyone planning to buy the 8CD …The Catalogue, would be well-advised to sample an individual remaster first." |

fuck maybe ill just exclusively stick to my vinyls |

I'm going to see if the Radioactivity one is as bad as this guy claims. Polar reviews are to be taken with a pinch of salt. |

"As with previous Kraftwerk releases, the collection will be distributed in two versions: English-language vocal tracks for international distribution and another (Der Katalog) with German-language vocal tracks." |

Wait, but this is Ralf's remaster project, not something imposed by a braindead executive. This must be how he wanted it to sound. Still, I'm going to listen to an older version and see if it's better... |

I think this man tastes shit every time he talks, because he's talking out of his arse. I'm listening to the Radio-Activity remaster and it has removed some of the hiss and crackles, and increased the bass a bit, and it all sounds well. But this man obviously didn't want a remaster, he wanted a reprint. |

FWIW I just downloaded the old version and gave it a listen. It's fantastic and makes me question what needed to be fixed. Nothing, really. It wasn't broken. But the new one sounds more filled out and lush, and I can't say I miss the tape hiss. |

I stand by Kraftwerk, and Radio-Activity is one of the best albums (and song) that I have ever heard. The interviewer just seems like one of those people who won't allow art to be retouched, even if it is by the original artist. I don't see what he's so unhappy about either, Ralf Hütter didn't come round the interviewer's house and piss on the originals he still owns. |

being exposed to the bass of Radioactivity into a stadium is one of the things worth doing in life, i seem to remember |

The Mix/Minimum-Maximum version of Radioactivity is sublime, the Minimum-Maximum version especially, where it transforms from the original into The Mix version. |

I've never been to see them live, but I'd like to. I won't be one of those people who complains they just stay still behind laptops and edit their own Wikipedia. |

hahahaha! that would be deep as fuck :D |

I've seen reviews that characterise their live shows are "boring" because they don't move on stage. Did expect to see Kraftwerk the band, or Kraftwerk the dance troupe extraordinaire. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i've had multiple orgasms at the show so did my friend, which is not easily moved by music. i would expect some boring people to attend a kraftwerk concert tough. plus they're old gits now, gotta watch out for their back. |

I went to a Nightwish concert with a girl (I was a tagalong, I don't know any of their songs,) and everyone in this crowd was wearing the t-shirt, wearing the matted and oily hair, but not one of them would move to the music. Even I moved to the music, and I didn't and still dont't know them. |

that's the spirit :) |

It got me out of the house, and out of this town - a good enough reason to even go and see Cliff Richard, and by see I mean go to London and not go anywhere near the venue, and by going to London but not going anywhere near the venue I mean stay at home. |
||||||||

twisted xD now really, music is the only reason that get me out and the only reason that keeps me home either |

How about get one of those musical bottle openers that play a version of "Celebration" by Kool And The Gang that is the closest approximation to tinnitus that is commercially available. |
