"Rare early Kraftwerk, now for the first time on double vinyl LP. Recorded live at the Gondel Kino (Gondola Cinema) in Bremen, Germany on 25 June 1971 (except for 'Interzone' recorded on the TV program Beat-Club on 22 May 1971), with a rare trio line-up of Florian Schneider, Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger (soon to be of Neu!). This LP represents one of the very few recordings in existence of that brief period in Kraftwerk history after Ralf Hutter had temporarily left the band and before Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger went on to form Neu! Before morphing into the motorik juggernaut they would soon become, Kraftwerk was nothing more than Rother on guitar, Dinger on drums, and Schneider on a tricked-out flute. Just listen to 'Heavy Metal Kids' to unlock the secret door to their past." Double 140 gram clear vinyl with multicolored labels in a PVC sleeve. Limited to 500 copies.

"Founded in 1970 in Dusseldorf, Kraftwerk was the only German band to rise from the so-called 'krautrock' scene to true international stardom. Of course, it was partially their distinct look that set them apart. At a time when long hair and scruffy clothing was the norm for musicians, Kraftwerk cut their hair short and wore handmade suits. And at a time when guitar rock reigned supreme, Kraftwerk did not even have a guitar player. In fact they soon did away with instruments altogether, becoming one of the first truly electronic bands. With the release of their fifth album Autobahn in 1975 (which mocked the glorification of the shiny modern world that had been built upon the rubble of post-war Germany), Kraftwerk finally achieved major stardom. 'Kometenmelodie 1 &2' was recorded live in Paris during the Autobahn tour and featured the classic Schneider / Hütter / Bartos / Flür line-up. Side B was recorded live in Utrecht in 1981 shortly after the release of their prophetic Computer World. It features their 1978 hit 'The Model' plus hits from the album, 'Numbers' and 'Pocket Calculator.'" 140 gram LP. Grey vinyl with blue label in PVC sleeve with red lettering. Limited edition 500 copies.

The first ever complete remastering of Kraftwerk's 8 classic studio albums, covering all their releases on the Capitol, Warner Brothers and Astralwerks labels: Autobahn, Radio-Activity, Trans Europe Express, The Man Machine, Computer World, Techno Pop, The Mix, Tour De France.

Deluxe 2009 remaster, originally released 1974. "Kraftwerk have digitally remastered their Kling Klang masters with the latest studio technology -- these magnificent recordings sound like nothing else in the history of music. Limited edition, European-pressed, heavyweight vinyl LPs featuring large format booklets. An epic ode to the joys of highway travel, Autobahn wraps a mesmerizing beat around a sampled collage of car horns, engine noise, whirring tires and radio crackle so infectious that US pop press at the time declared that Kraftwerk's music does for driving what the Beach Boys had done for surfing! The impact of this album is so strong that Spin magazine included it in their list of the 15 most influential albums not recorded by 'The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Elvis or the Rolling Stones.'" The deluxe packaging on these Kraftwerk reissues -- beautiful printed inner sleeves with alternate covers, immaculate large booklets of breathtaking photographs -- all of it will bring tears to your eyes.

Deluxe 2009 remaster, originally released 1975. "An innovative, all-electronic communication concept album that surfs sine waves and scans the stratosphere for stray radio signals while broadcasting majestic music for a modern world where factories and power stations are the new cathedrals. At the time, Trouser Press magazine noted that the album marked an important step in Kraftwerk's artistic progress, converting the band into 'ultramodern sonic engineers.'"

2009 remaster, originally released 1978. "A bold new look, sound and concept as Kraftwerk fully realize their clever use of melody and technology over supple procesed rhythms predating the rise of European techno and trance. Man Machine is so stunningly ahead of its time that 'The model' became a surprise UK #1 chart-topper three years after the album's initial release. 'The album has 'classic' stamped all over it... in time it would acquire the same ageless quality as The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper or The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds...' -- Pascal Bussy, Kraftwerk: Man Machine And Music"

Deluxe 2009 remaster, originally released 2003; double LP. "The centenary of the Tour De France marks the conceptual starting line for Kraftwerk's first album in over a decade. From the chunky cyber-funk of 'Vitamin' to the restless metallic shimmers of Aero Dynamik,' this is emphatically the sound of 21st century techno visionaries. 'Displays more intellectual rigor, subtle discipline and attention to detail than many of their younger contemporaries can ever dream of attaining.' -- The Wire

Dexlue 2009 remaster, originally released 1977. "On Trans Europe Express Kraftwerk celebrates a romantic, retro future of shimmering elegance and glistening decadence where travel and technology merge across infinite sonic vistas. This milestone in avant-pop modernism later became a crucial influence on the early pioneers of hip-hop & sampling, electro and industrial music. 'With Trans Europe Express, they set out to reinvent a different legend: that of Europa itself, in the process they changed pop music forever.' -- Rolling Stone"
