can someone reccomend a good kraftwerk cd that is a little faster and fiunkier?

"the mix" - it's kind of a best-of album, with all the songs worked into a dance mix. i dig this CD a lot.

cool, thanks for the tip! i want something i can groove to! do they usually have lyrics in their songs?

dancerella said:

not a lot, it's kinda chant-y stuff...it's mostly music. you should also check out a greatest hits disc by afrika baambaata (i'm sure i ruined the spelling of his name, eeg) so you can groove to the long version of "planet rock", which i'm sure ya know is built off a sample from kraftwerk (and there's some kraftwerk on grandmaster flash's "autobiography" CD, which is a fantastic CD in general).

It's probably their only dance-y cd out there.

The Man Machine and Computer World are pretty danceable in a synth pop-py sorta way. And they're really good too.

I saw Kraftwerk live back in 1998. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Who'da thunk a bunch of programmers standing behind computer consoles would make for a good live show?

Computer World, by far.

"It's More Fun To Compute"

"Numbers"

"Pocket Calculator"

::break'n::

Computer World is my first choice. But BassWerk is a greatest hits CD with ALL thier best dance tunes like Tour De France, Numbers, Trans-Europe Express, etc. It is very bass heavy as it was made by various dj's.

Didn't they play at Coachella this year?

sextonseven said:

i dunno...if they did, there'd be no way that i could afford to go see 'em.

guess what guys I just went and bought Electric Cafe on my break and I love it. I heard it's not considered to be one of their best cd's but I think it sounds great. Maybe i'll get another one some day.


Thanks for all your feedback. you can still keep them coming!

dancerella said:

I don't know why it's not considered one of their best. Boing Boom Tschak(sp?), The Telephone Call, Sex Object and Techno-Pop are the shit!!!!!

Tour de france is my favourite of them.
I heard it the first time when I saw Breakdance-the movie
at the cinema when Turbo is dancing with a broom.
