Kraftwerk always had incredible, pristine-sounding records, and there was always a strong, conceptual visual component to their album art and live performances. But Kraftwerk fans: you ain’t seen (or heard) nothin’ yet! From 2012–16, the electronic-music pioneers performed at MoMA (NY), the Tate (London), Sydney Opera House, Akasaka Blitz (Tokyo) and other sumptuous spots across the globe. That 3-D World Tour saw them filming and recording performances of their eight classic albums: "Autobahn" (’74), "Radio-Activity" (’75), "Trans Europe Express" (’77), "The Man-Machine" (’78), "Computer World" (’81), "Techno Pop" (’86), "The Mix" (’91) and "Tour De France" (2003). You can hear the magnificent sound quality of those renditions on 8 CDs or vinyl LPs, or highlights of the performances on two vinyl LPs or, in 5.1 mixes, a Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack: "Autobahn," "Radioactivity," "Trans Europe Express," "The Man Machine," "Numbers," "Computer World," "Boing Boom Tschak," "Music Non Stop," "The Robots," "Chrono," "Tour De France" and more. And then, there’s the king of the hill here: a 4-Blu-Ray set containing the album performances plus tour films and projections, all in 3-D (also compatible with standard 2-D) and all featuring Dolby Atmos 5.1 audio for compatible amps. Not only does this deluxe set bring you 436 minutes of Kraftwerk, but also a 236-page hardbound art book with computer-generated (what else?) images from the 3-D multimedia performances along with unseen photos. The ultimate audio-visual Kraftwerk experience, and an amazing sensory journey through decades of pulsating, mesmerizing Kraftwerk music! Atlantic.
