	Kraftwerk (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was released in 1970, produced by the influential Konrad "Conny" Plank.
		The image on the inside of the gatefold sleeve is of a powerplant electricity substation, photographed by conceptualist artists Bernd and Hilla Becher, known for their photographic 'Typologies' series that celebrated the industrial and urban environment – and by extension, the society that built it – by showing multiple variations of ordinarily mundane building types.
		No material from this album has been performed in the band's live set since the Autobahn tour of 1975, and to date, the album has not been reissued on compact disc, with the band seemingly reluctant to consider it a part of their canon (Schneider described the early albums as "archaeology").

	Kraftwerk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kraftwerk (pronounced [ˈkʁaftvɛɐk], German for "power station") is a German musical group who have made significant contributions to the development of electronic music.
		Kraftwerk was founded in 1970 by Florian Schneider-Esleben (flute) and Ralf Hütter (keyboards), the pair setting up their Kling Klang studio in Düsseldorf.
		After several early experimental albums, their breakthrough came in 1974 (1974 in music) with the Autobahn album and its 22-minute title track (you can hear a sample on the album's page), which was a worldwide hit and demonstrated their increasing reliance on synthesizers and electronics.

	BBC - Classic Rock/Pop Review - Kraftwerk, Tour De France Soundtracks
		This is classic kraftwerk album from the sounds of it, a concept lp that perfectly captures musically and atmospherically some aspect of the man and the machine.
		kraftwerk were so ahead of the game, too long has passed and there has been too many innovations in the electronic music world for this album to stand above all else,we've all become so accustomed to drum machine and synth sounds that its easy to forget that kraftwerk were the originators of these.
		Kraftwerk's music has been very important to me since childhood, and I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt after their 1991 George Lucas style butchery of some of their best work which, ironically, made the songs seem less modern than the originals.

		Now, in 2005, Kraftwerk recently returned to the U.S. for a short series of sold-out live shows in major markets, which received unanimous rave reviews from regional and national press.
		To co-incide with these dates, Astralwerks released Kraftwerk's first ever official live recordings, a 2 x CD set entitled Minimum-Maximum, a milestone event in the band's illustrious career and one which has galvanized Kraftwerk fans, both young and old.
		Kraftwerk's shows are an eye-popping multi-media extravaganza featuring costume changes, seamless audio-visual triggers and the legendary mechanical "robots" onstage.

	Kraftwerk Biography
		Ralf and Florian rejoined and released the "Kraftwerk 2" album.

		Kraftwerk's best known songs were collected together in 1991 on the double, The Mix, aimed chiefly at the dance music market by EMI Records.

	Kraftwerk: Minimum-Maximum: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The latter-day Kraftwerk live experience is total theater, an intense multimedia spectacle in which the nuts and bolts of who is doing exactly what is not only impossible to determine but completely irrelevant.
		So it is in a sense odd that Kraftwerk has chosen this time to release their first officially sanctioned live album.
		I have Kraftwerk live bootlegs from 1971, 1975, 1981, and 1998, and the sound varies from horrid to passable.

	Komputer - The World Of Tomorrow
		It says something about Kraftwerk's influence on contemporary music that, in the absence of any new releases from the band themselves, a number of surrogate Kraftwerks have appeared.
		It's a little repetitive, but Kraftwerk themselves were guilty of sliding past "hypnotically repetitive" into "goes on a bit, doesn't it?" from time to time.
		It's difficult to rate the music purely as an album of quality synthpop, simply because the influence of Kraftwerk is so very, very strong here, but it's definitely one of the better electronic albums I've heard this year.

	Kraftwerk Fanpage
		Kraftwerk have a really good sense of humor, which has caused me to laugh out loud on certain occasions when reading stuff they've said.
		Not a Kraftwerk record by name, but by nature and personnel it is. The tracks are all live avant-garde jams using conventional instruments with many effects.
		In the same vein as the previous album, this is the first commercial album to use a drum machine throughout.

		Kraftwerkâs ralf hÃ¼tter likes to refer to the group as musikarbeiter, which translates in English to âmusical workers.â Musical prophets might be a more apt description of the group who virtually invented modern electronic music.
		And while few would have expected to ever hear a new Kraftwerk album before it was announced, it is of little surprise that such an event would be its catalyst.
		But Kraftwerk first made music on their Casio calculators in the â80s, when pressing play on a giant Ampex tape machine was the most you could expect from their synth-pop disciples.

	DVD Talk Forum - Which Kraftwerk album would you recommend to me ?
		What amazes me about Kraftwerk is that their recordings still sound fresh to me. I'm not a musician so I might not be able to word this well, but their percussion and drum sounds aren't annoying like a lot of early 80's synth music.
		12-16-02 06:58 PM THere's a Kraftwerk album called "The Model, Retrospective 1975-1978", which is a greatest hits spanning their early years.
		Kraftwerk has always been at the cutting edge of technology.

	Kraftwerk - The Mix
		Well here it is, the first "new" official Kraftwerk album to see the light of day since 1986's Electric Cafe.
		This is perhaps due to the prominence of the vocals in this, one of Kraftwerk's sillier tracks.
		I was rather worried before this album that they might overdo the remixes and ruin what were otherwise perfectly good songs.

		The album, Tour De France features the all-new recordings of Tour De France 03 alongside brand new compositions and a new version of their seminal, electro masterpiece Tour De France from 1983.
		The Tour de France album has a cycling theme/concept and should be seen as a 'special project'.

	FLUXEUROPA: Kraftwerk - Tour de France Soundtracks
		The first 'proper' Kraftwerk album since "Electric Cafe" (1986) celebrates the centenary of the world-famous French cycle race, the Tour de France.
		Competitive cycle racing is a supreme manifestation of Kraftwerk's concept of the man-machine - a combination of nerve, sinew and titanium honed to perfection in mental, physical and mechanical efficiency.
		In some ways the album is quite contemporary sounding owing to use of modern dance beats, but the vocoded voices and distinctive riffs give it an unmistakable Kraftwerk signature, which, of course, is what we all want to experience.

	New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock KI-KY
		Their first album, released late in 1971 as a quintet is pretty decent hard rock with some psych touches.
		The first album by the 90's incarnation of Crimson was Thrak, which featured the talents of Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew on guitars, Trey Gunn and Tony Levin on stick and Bill Bruford and Pat Mastelotto on drums.
		Keeping with the sci-fi bent of the first album, "Hope" is sort of a rock opera sung by a laser lighthouse keeper, the "loneliest creature in the universe" because he's the last left of his race after an interplanetary war.

		This is not really important if you don't come in with this expectation, but given Kraftwerk's previous talent at creating concept albums, the uniformly muffled, clubby sound of the tracks is disappointing (despite the inclusion of various "bicyle sound effects").
		I was struck by an irony as I listened to this album: Kraftwerk and Orbital seem to be traveling in opposite directions.
		Kraftwerk, on the other hand, have always seemed adept at making pithy, melodically rich albums with a good dose of humor, but on this album they abandon many of the quirky touches they are known for, opting instead for long, beat and loop driven tracks.

		Although Kraftwerk's first three albums were groundbreaking in their own right, Autobahn is where the group's hypnotic electronic pulse genuinely came into its own.
		The main difference between Autobahn and its predecessors is how it develops an insistent, propulsive pulse that makes the repeated rhythms and riffs of the shimmering electronic keyboards and trance-like guitars all the more hypnotizing.
		Within Autobahn, the roots of electro-funk, ambient, and synth pop are all evident -- it's a pioneering album, even if its electronic trances might not capture the attention of all listeners.

		Kraftwerk, probably the most influential music act to come out of Germany over the last 50 years or so, are supposedly releasing a new album in about three weeks.
		From what he said I think Kraftwerk would have been well-advised not to release the song because they got quite the reputation to lose - and the snippets I just listened to seem to indicate that that is what is going to happen.
		On the other hand, my friend told me the DJ of the "dance" radio station had no idea who Kraftwerk are so maybe today's kids won't even realize what's going on...

		He admitted that "the fusion of Kraftwerk and Latin music sounded completely ridiculous when I was mentally composing the titles." The work of Ralf Hutter and Florian Schneider, the men behind Kraftwerk, was meant to be cold and detached, the exact opposite of steamy Latin dances.
		However, Coconut said, "Kraftwerk songs contain a strong musical content even if freed from their electronic arrangements.
		And he's fully aware of the irony involved in what he's doing, noting that "since the entire album is programmed and not played by real musicians, it contains the simulation aspect and questions the term of authenticity.

		It is the albums from the 70's you should be listening to, not the "newer" ones.
		Kraftwerk's music from the early years is where the real revolution is. Kraftwerk took the avant-garde sounds of academic Europe and turned them into beautiful, chilling pop tunes.
		I felt that album was a masterful reconstruction/update of some of the tracks that Kraftwerk has done that have had a major influence on popular music in this part of this century....

	Kraftwerk : Computer Welt - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The last great Kraftwerk album, Computer World captured the band right at the moment when its pioneering approach fully broke through in popular music, thanks to the rise of synth pop, hip-hop, and electro.
		As Arthur Baker sampled "Trans-Europe Express" for "Planet Rock" and disciples like Depeche Mode, OMD, and Gary Numan scored major hits, Computer World demonstrated that the old masters still had some last tricks up their collective sleeves.
		Compared to earlier albums, it fell readily in line with The Man-Machine, eschewing side-long efforts but with even more of an emphasis on shorter tracks mixed with longer but not epic compositions.
