let's take it to a new poll

― blueski, Friday, 27 April 2007 11:21 (seventeen years ago) link

hall of mirrors is great

autobahn is my least favourite lp probably

mdc yes you should checkk the first 3...starting with ralf & florian. it sounds kind of hawaiian

yay Minimum Maximum

― sexyDancer, Friday, 27 April 2007 13:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Radio-Activity should have been way way lower

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude ‫茄蕃‪, Friday, 27 April 2007 15:52 (seventeen years ago) link

I agree with Jon.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 27 April 2007 16:02 (seventeen years ago) link

The live versions of Radioactivity as evidenced in MM and that round of bootlegs uncovered a while back: OTM

― sexyDancer, Friday, 27 April 2007 16:09 (seventeen years ago) link

glass candy Computer Love

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude ‫茄蕃‪, Friday, 27 April 2007 17:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I thought MM was really cool but now I dislike it.

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude ‫茄蕃‪, Friday, 27 April 2007 17:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I didn't like Minimum Maximum. They sound so smug on that cd.

"if i could find a german copy on vinyl, i would be a very happy man."

One of those horrible ethical dilemmas was whether to give the vinyl back to the pal who had loaned it to me, knowing that I'd never see it again, or to break his heart by pretending to have lost it. I gave it back, and to this day I wonder if I did the right thing. That bastard doesn't even listen to it like I did!

You did the right thing.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 27 April 2007 22:52 (seventeen years ago) link

yeh, but ... :)

― grimly fiendish, Friday, 27 April 2007 23:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Maybe he didn't want to pay that much!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Saturday, 28 April 2007 21:10 (seventeen years ago) link

10 bucks?
i'd pay as much as $25.

― funny farm, Saturday, 28 April 2007 22:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Uh no 1 buck innit?

― anatol_merklich, Saturday, 28 April 2007 22:04 (seventeen years ago) link

plus 9 bucks shipping, broseph.

― funny farm, Saturday, 28 April 2007 22:20 (seventeen years ago) link

I just listened to "Computer World" for the first time last night. ...and for the fourth.

― The Reverend, Saturday, 28 April 2007 22:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Sounds like a 'bad' case of Computer Liebe to me... ;-)

― willem, Saturday, 28 April 2007 22:42 (seventeen years ago) link

plus 9 bucks shipping, broseph.

ahïïï I see! thx for reminding me why ebay is mainly nogo for me as a norwegian...

― anatol_merklich, Saturday, 28 April 2007 22:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Bah! Too late! And now I can't find it again!

Did anyone go out and buy any kraftwerk after reading this thread?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 29 April 2007 19:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Answer: there is no best Kraftwerk album.

― artdamages, Sunday, 29 April 2007 19:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Autobahn is my favorite. It's so violent.

― filthy dylan, Sunday, 29 April 2007 20:23 (seventeen years ago) link

I love Tour de France Soundtracks... Surprised to see it so low. It's a lot better than Electric Cafe, which I also like, but I would have it fifth in that list.

― Keith, Sunday, 29 April 2007 20:32 (seventeen years ago) link

damnit I didn't vote but i would have chosen computer world

― Bimble, Sunday, 29 April 2007 20:34 (seventeen years ago) link

i went out of my browser and downloaded die mensch-maschine

SPAAACE-LAB

― lfam, Sunday, 29 April 2007 21:09 (seventeen years ago) link

man-machine sounds infinitely more better in german.

I disagree. That line in "Das Model" where he shouts "KORREKT!" just kills the whole song for me.

― naus, Sunday, 29 April 2007 23:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I have mp3s of the german versions. Guess it's time to give them a listen.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 30 April 2007 09:56 (seventeen years ago) link

the waiter shouting 'korrekt' is a düsseldorf scene in-joke. im not surprised they cut that out for the international version.

computerwelt is the only kw album ive heard the english version of. the songs all work just as good as the originals, except for the title track; you cant really translate 'computerwelt / denn zeit ist geld' or 'flensburg und das bka / haben unsere daten da'.

i doubt that 'die roboter' is as much fun without the rolling 'r's

― ☪, Monday, 30 April 2007 10:42 (seventeen years ago) link

right, i need to get me these german versions. hmm, eBay. yes.

Did anyone go out and buy any kraftwerk after reading this thread?

no, but i listened to "the man-machine".

― grimly fiendish, Monday, 30 April 2007 12:22 (seventeen years ago) link

come korrekt and explain joek

― JW, Monday, 30 April 2007 12:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Autobahn is my favorite. It's so violent.

Violent? Are you talking about some other album called "Autobahn" here or what?

― Tom D., Monday, 30 April 2007 13:30 (seventeen years ago) link

no, but i listened to "the man-machine".

Hurrah!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 30 April 2007 16:39 (seventeen years ago) link

they shuld really remaster their albums. maybe do deluxe editions, with both english and german versions. that would be schweet.

― funny farm, Monday, 30 April 2007 22:41 (seventeen years ago) link

better still, they could just make a new album. a good one (sorry, keith).

― grimly fiendish, Monday, 30 April 2007 22:50 (seventeen years ago) link

eleven months pass...

i change my answer: radio-activity.

― poortheatre, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 13:25 (sixteen years ago) link

Weird that so few like Autobahn.

― Mark Rich@rdson, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 13:27 (sixteen years ago) link

This is where I drop my usual complaint about the absence of remasters.

― baaderonixx, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 13:47 (sixteen years ago) link

coming soon

― blueski, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 13:51 (sixteen years ago) link

i can see it now on Amazon.com - 'buy 'The Catalogue' box set with 'Chinese Democracy' for only £22.47 (save £8.14)'

― blueski, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 13:52 (sixteen years ago) link

and everybody gets a free Crystal Pepsi if they appear in 2008!!

― baaderonixx, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 14:03 (sixteen years ago) link

crystal pepsi makes an excellent bike chain cleaner/lubricant, as it happens

― blueski, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 14:04 (sixteen years ago) link

Weird that so few like Autobahn.

it's actually the most listened to track of their Last.FM profile, which is unexpected, considering its length.

the first, like, eight seconds of 'antenna' are so incredible.

― poortheatre, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 21:26 (sixteen years ago) link

"Autobahn", to most people, is mainly about the title track and the first side. The second side is a bit unsatisfactory, even though "Morgenspaziergang" has some funny attempts to create nature sounds with synths and the last "Kometenmelodie" is actually a funny little tune.

But "The Man Machine" is the one, really.

― Geir Hongro, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 22:29 (sixteen years ago) link

XP: You sure the last.fm version isn't the shorter single edit?

― Geir Hongro, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 22:30 (sixteen years ago) link
