The first side of this fine album features three tracks ("Tanzmusik", "Kometenmelodie", "Klingklang") from a live show in Denver (Colorado) during Kraftwerk's first tour of America in spring 1975. The second side is occupied by a 26-minute version of their first robotic big hit "Autobahn," recorded in Köln in March of the same year. Another great document from one the groundbreaking electronic music bands of all times.

Limited repress. 1975 was the year in which Kraftwerk's live shows took off and you can hear that on this record. Kraftwerk developed a progressive robot pop style by mixing electronic sounds and hypnotic rhythms with pop melodies. Kraftwerk was the birthplace of electronic music and is still an example for great artists. This registration includes the world hit Autobahn.

One of the most influential bands in the last five decades, Kraftwerk virtually established the blueprint, the source code even for electronic music. Founded by classically trained musicians Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider-Esleban in Dusseldorf in 1970, the band has informed and inspired a diverse range of genres and artists including David Bowie, Björk, Afrika Bambaataa, and Joy Division. This early live performance, in Soest, Germany in Winter 1970, broadcast on WDR-TV displays the band in superb form. Arguably, the future of electronic music, trance, techno, ambient -- started right here. 180 gram picture disc, with insert. Die cut sleeve.

"Formed in 1970, Kraftwerk's contribution to the development of electronic music remains unsurpassed. Having inspired everyone from Bowie to Joy Division to Radiohead, this mysterious collective has also proven responsible for entire genres to emerge -- electronica, techno and synth-pop to name but three. This DVD reviews the career and music of Kraftwerk, from their inception in the late 1960s through their most celebrated period in the mid-1970s, culminating with their resurgence during the 1980s. The film further explores how Kraftwerk both fitted into and pulled away from the electronic wing of what is often lazily referred to as 'Krautrock'. Showing respect too for many of the groups' German contemporaries from a similar impulse, and tracing the unfolding of electronics in German contemporary music generally, this program presents a fascinating story previously untold on film. Featuring exclusive and extensive interviews with ex-Kraftwerk members -- Karl Bartos and Klaus Röder, German ambient and electronic musicians - Dieter Moebius (Kluster/Harmonia), Hans Joachim Rodelius (Kluster/Harmonia), Klaus Schulze (Tangerine Dream/ Ash Ra Tempel and Solo), Wolfgang Siedel (Eruption), Conrad Schnitzler (Kluster/ Solo), Klaus Löhmer (engineer, Kraftwerk album) and many others. Also boasting further contributions from Electronic music experts and writers, and rare studio and live footage of the band, these all together make for perhaps the best film on the subject ever to emerge."

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" and "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".

Unauthorized bio DVD, sorry. "As innovative as they are influential, Kraftwerk's contribution to the development of electronic music since their formation in 1970 remains unsurpassed. Having inspired everyone from Bowie to Coldplay, Siouxsie to Radiohead, this bizarre collective have also proven partly responsible for entire genres to develop -- electronica, techno and synth-pop to name but three. This DVD reviews the career and music of Kraftwerk, from their inception in the late 1960s (as pre-Kraftwerk ensemble Organization), through their most celebrated period in the mid 1970s, and culminating with their resurgence during the 1980s with the popularity of synth-pop and techno. The film further explores how Kraftwerk both fitted in and pulled away from the electronic wing of what is often lazily referred to as 'Krautrock.' Sparing time also for many of the groups' contemporaries from the same field, and tracing the unfolding of electronics in German contemporary music generally, this program presents a fascinating story previously untold on film. It features rarely seen live and performance footage of Kraftwerk and of other electronic and 'Krautrock' bands -- much from private collections, rare photographs of Kraftwerk and others, exclusive and extensive interviews with ex-Kraftwerk members and other German ambient and electronic musicians, contributions and enlightenment from German academics, writers and journalists, live and studio recordings of many of Kraftwerk's pivotal tracks, plus live and studio recordings of many other bands from the 'Krautrock' movement. Bonus materials: Special feature 'The Dusseldorf Scene vs. The Hamburg Scene,' extended interviews, full contributor biographies." Main feature running time: 180 mins.; NTSC format, All Regions; Screen Format 4:3; Stereo Sound Mix.
