right. just downloaded some stuff from their '96 album "electric dimension". pretty crap title, but this sounds okay.. good even! now, I haven't heard a lot of kraftwerk, so do some of you have any recommendations..? which albums should I absolutely hear..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes! You must hear 'Computer World'... Single handedly got me into Electronic music! And while your at it, grab 'Mix'... kinda Greatest hits/tracks redone etc type CD! Very good indeed. |

Trans Europe Express is my favourite...with the title track probably being my favourite KW track of all... Computer World, Electric Cafe & Man Machine are all essential KW...ealier stuff than that (like the Radioactivity album) can be a bit hit n miss really...but you can't go far wrong with anything by em; stll sound pretty timeless.... Tell us more about this "electric dimension" album?...haven't heard of that one (is is a bootleg or something?..)... |

I've only heard earlier Kraftwerk - nothing tops the Autobahn LP - kommetenmelodie is EXQUISITE |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just buy/dl/whatever every bit of KW you can find basically...everything they did is pretty damn good... |

hehe...up at 4am everyday now, mate... Not sure how I do it...but it's like having 3hrs extra a day when I can do whatever I like... Only been doing it for about a month now but I actually feel a lot better for it...I used to hate mornings and getting up but now it's like eyes open at 3.59 & just get up...don't even need an alarm... |

Man Machine is great |
||||||||

yeah, just about to put that on, actually...not a duff track on there... mmm...neon lights... (and the photo of them on the inside cover, with them all standing hand on hip on some stairs always cracks me up for some reason...).. |

I had to get up at 5am, 6 days a week for over a year -- I can tell you, I NEVER got used to it! Hats off to you ;) |

Mmm, Autobahn and Trans Europa Express are great... Trans EUROPE Express is even better, I dig languages that I can understand. Pocket Calculator is goofy and cool, too. Anytime I hear Kraftwerk mentioned, I swear to God I get a craving for Kraft Dinner, it's too strange. |

When I'm interested in a band I like to check out their debut album first. I'll suggest that in this case; Kraftwerk 1. You'll freak when you hear Ruckzuck. I remember being amazed when I first heard it, I couldn't believe it was made in 1971. |

Don't forget "Ralf and Florian"! :Kw |

Booo-yaaa! That stuff is beautiful! :D |

|
|
right. thanks everybody, I'll be sure to explore KW in depth, now.. jand: on "electric dimension", I kind of just grabbed something on slsk, then looked it up on Amazon. it seems to be a normal album, came out in '96. its kind of techno-y and a nicely weird.. |

tour de france, tour de france... |

Eh ? Electric dimension ? I thaught their last Album came out in 1991 and was called THE MIX ? Maybe you downloaded a fake ? |
||||||||
|

|
|
and the Senor Coconut album is a must, if you like your Kraftwerk in a Salsa/Cha Cha Cha style. nice |
||||||||

Kraftwerk is the coolest band in history followed by Run DMC fashion wise.Timeless! (kraftwerks music is pretty timeless to) My alltime favorite Kraftwerk song is probably Computer Love , those beautifull melodies went straight to my heart. They showed a very good documentary on kraftwerk here a couple of months ago and i was supriced to see how friendly and cool people they seem to be. I had imagined they where gonna be these artsy fartsy stuck up people with big egos , ok they are a bit artsy fartsy but not like i had imagined. |

hehe, I bought Computer World yesterday finally... I've been meaning to get it for a while... but it's fantastic, I love it... there's nothing like old analog synth sounds, and cool retro drum machines... I love this straight through though, I've listened to it over and over since I got it, just repeating it... I love Computer Love and It's More Fun to Compute the most... those two tracks are awesome!! the whole thing is quality though... and it's short, and to the point, so you can't really get bored with it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nothing like getting into a band like this, knowing there's so much music of theirs to buy... definitely going to have to get some more Kraftwerk! |
