The Catalogue - Some Thoughts

2009-11-26T15:56:26Z

This is not comprehensive. In fact, it might not even be coherent. But
here are my impressions.
Packaging:
First class, especially those big 12" booklets. They've taken the time
to get things right here.
Credits:
I do hope that there isn't a bit of unpleasant revisionism going on with
some of the credits. Wolfgang wasn't as much a spectator as that for

Re: Any more news on first three albums reissued?

2009-11-23T06:55:36Z

Ralf has said that he wants to do it, but:
a) there may be a new album getting in the way
b) there may be more touring getting in the way
c) the tapes, being older, may take much longer to remaster.

Danke, Kraftwerk

Katalog is a masterpiece, Meisterstück. Kraftwerk's opus magnum.
Those, who understand music only as a stream of bits in mp3 file are
definitelty not able to understand it. But those, whose hands shaking with
emotions while opening an envelope with a vinyl or CD with favourite music,
undoubtedly know what I mean.

Where did the buzz go?

2009-11-14T17:11:39Z

Mmm, I'm not sure I find sound quality greatly improved compared to the old
CD's. True, the new ones are louder, compared to the old ones.
Argh, what did they do to Radioaktivität! Every time the whiplash sounds the
rest of the mix... "dulls". That is really REALLY awful!
And they removed the nice 50Hz buzz in Intermission/News! Shame!

did klingklang send the cataloge out?

2009-11-11T09:24:08Z

Did anybody receive the Cat from KlingKlang, with a releasedate of the
6th, I would've expected it way before the five days I've been waiting.

to as Rutter. Anyway, the article was about the announcement of a new

Kometenmelodie question.

2009-05-16T04:13:21Z

Greetings;
According to Wikipedia, Kraftwerk released a single in December of 1973
called "Kohoutek-Kometenmelodie" I heard from the site that the tune
appeared on the Autobahn album as "Cometenmelodie" parts one and two.
Wikipedia says that the tune was named after Comet Kohoutek. Is this true?
