not to be a weeb but...

I treat both the Glorious German and English versions equally (I can understand the English vocals while I can feel the music better listening to German version). I simply prefer the cover of the remaster to the original.

My nigga. Besides the little 1 minute tracks it's 10/10

How about proving us right for a change?

Not even their best

>>70789920
>>70789940
both good but menschmaschine is better

seriously what other band sounds like kraftwerk?
the only thing that comes close are a few detroit techno musicians, but thats mostly because they kept using kraftwerk samples.

>>70789878
How can the best album ever made be decent at best?

I didn't think Neon Lights was that good.

>>70789878
Autobahn is better desu

This is the best Kraftwerk album. The Man Machine is good but not as good as this.

>>70789878
What in the absolute FUCK is this? I just listened to the first "song" and it's literally a bunch of noise. It's not even different noises. It's like the same thing repeating for three minutes. I don't understand how people can enjoy this. If the whole album is like this, I don't want any part of it. This is not a "classic" album. This is fucking noise.

Yes. They should've really continued making progressive electronic and ambient music and not synthpop.

I will admit though I like the Autobhan 2009 remaster cover very well, pays a good homage to the original british cover which was stylistically way ahead of its time

this as well is amazing:

>>70791506
I don't really like this album. It seems like an indulgence in pointless and marketable computer crap.

Trans-Europe Express, Autobahn, and Mensch-Machine were all varying COMMENTARY on the nature and ambiguity of computers, but Komputerwelt seems like "beep boops" with no real purpose

Tour de France is one of my favorites.

It was great when I saw them live, too. They projected old footage of the race in the background and wove in some Detroit techno into the set. Fantastic.

shit taste, shit album, you have autism because I definitely remember you from the last thread and I'm not even the same poster you replied to

>>70796991
Without a question their best album. Stands head and shoulders over everything else they did.

If Kraftwerk were Steely Dan, Trans Europe Express would be Aja

Not sure about best album ever made (I'm more of a fuckboi for Trans Europa Express), but Man-Machine/Mensch-Maschine is probably my second favorite Kraftwerk album of all time.

>>70789920

Ayyy, fucking love this record a lot.

>>70799127
What about Tour De France, The Mix, Tone Float/Organisation?

>>70801549
YMO is pretty similar to kraftwerk, very early electronic band. Theyre sound is much more different though. Watching them play live is a fucking treat, no mid or sequencing, just completely live electronic music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdalyjjfVxY

Also fun fact, Michael Jackson "covered" a ymo song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH031lZz6EY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxCr71BLJ1c

>>70802647
YMO members have a completely different background in music (jazz, funk, punk/new wave) and I think that makes a difference in their sound, distinctively japanese, denser (less minimal), more 70s sounding, more attracted to conventional pop music and disco than kraftwerk who were coming from a krautrock background and were also classically-trained

>>70802749

The first time I heard Europe Endless it brought me to tears, remembering my first trip to Europ 7 years ago when I was 20 and how great life seemed then

Hall of Mirrors is my last favorite song on that album though

franz sherbert is my favorite song on TEE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJqnc_0mZmA

and neon lights actually brought me to tears once, when I was just getting into kraftwerk. I don't know it just made me really happy listening to it.

Also to kraftwerk fans i really recomend listneing to the bootleg live recordings from their 1981 tour, IMO that was them in their prime (live at least) with the fucking coolest live setup, bringing their entire kling klang studio with them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFZrgprLfxE

There are a ton of bootleg recordings of varying quality from around the world, lots including the amazing live version of pocket calculator where they would go into the crowd and let them play the tiny instrument solos. so energetic, none of this four people standing behind podiums checking email on their ipads.

Can someone help me get into Computer World?

To me it seems more about making electrodance tracks instead of catchy synth like Man Machine. IMO they peaked at MM but general consensus disagrees with me so I want know where I'm going wrong

>>70802864
spiegelsaal is great tho

>>70802946
>IMO that was them in their prime (live at least) with the fucking coolest live setup
I agree. recordings of Computerlove from that time are better than the album versions, I think
