The Broadcast Collection 1970 - 1981

Description

Kraftwerk 5 CD Box Set - The Broadcast Collection 1970 - 1981 Kraftwerk was formed in 1970 and is widely regarded as a pioneer of electronic music. They built custom-made electronic instruments and utilized cutting edge equipment to create their signature sound. The album “Autobahn,” particularly its title track, brought them international acclaim. The 22-minute-long title track featured repetitive rhythms and synthesized vocals, mimicking the experience of driving on the German highway. In 2014, Kraftwerk was honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award for their contributions to music.

Despite the "robotic" image there is plenty of spontaneity and improvisation in the playing. Really eye opening to these ears. Sound quality is excellent, exceeding any expectations. Highly recommend!!! Review: Great early years collection - Wow. This much early Kraftwerk in one spot! It is interesting to hear how their writing progressed and got almost poppier. This set is priced perfectly. Highly recommended.
