First Official Kraftwerk live release!

June 6th see's the release of 'Minimum-Maximum' the first ever official live album by Kraftwerk. Their own web page states that there will be:
2xCD set
SACD version
DVD
4xLP vinyl box set
So far the only confirmed items available on the 6th June are the International and German language versions of the 2xCD set. Stores are also taking orders for the 4xLP vinyl box set but this is going to be very limited and there are already rumours that this will be delayed.
I ordered the International version of the CD set (UK issue) from Amazon.co.uk and then went to Amazon.de (Germany) and ordered the German language version.
The vinyl box set I have ordered through Sister Ray in London as they have always proved very reliable and not rop-off merchants.
The only place I have yet to see the German language version of the vinyl box set advertised is via Netsounds Music by a German store but they have yet to confirm via email whether they will have this in stock.
Expect to pay around £32 for the UK vinyl box set.

 

This site should be called Kraftwerkgain.com

I might buy one of them though, nothing like a bit of Kraftwerk to cheer me up after a bad day.

 

kraftwerk.gain,...Hmmm, I like that idea

 

I might do a logo in photoshop, with a model in the bacgkround and shimmering Noen lights for the title.

 

But then you would stop and reflect about everyone else that should have their own logo too, especially those that are no longer with us (Ian Curtis and Billy Mackenzie RIP).

 

Talking about Ian Curtis I read in the Manchester Evening News that Hooky and The Doves attended that screening in Manchester. I didn't see them but that just shows many people came to it.

He's frightening to think he's been dead longer than I have been alive and I am not that far of Ian Curtis's age when he died.

 

gotta say AT ... i think this guy and band were / are highly overrated... they might have been different back in the day but who can honestly say they take any pleasure whatsoever from listening to that monotoned miserable git?

The lyrics are deep and meaingfull, and the music is simply like nothing else. Its original and anything else that has come since are just copys including early U2. Even a lot of Joshua Tree tracks are very Joy Division in their sound.

Music is all a matter of opinion, I personaly think Oasis and The Beatles are very over rated but not everybody would agree.

 

well a least we agree on that my friend ...

BABI MAC

 

also AT i think we might share the respect of that other manchester genius... the MOzmiester ( like that MO?)

Argh the other misserable genius I saw him twice last year so I think that makes me a fan, even if I too young to ever have seen The Smiths peform.

 

saw the smiths in 87. (showing my age now) mozzer stormed off after 4 songs coz he kept getting pulled of stage ... thats how they do things in newport..

Honda gold wing history

 

I will second that, especially the bit about Oasis and The Beatles (my father thought the Beatles were nothing more than a glorified boy band, but then he was a biker in the early 60's )
