Snippets of Kraftwerk, performing live for an Austrian TV special, circa 1982, on their Computerworld Tour.
Five songs in eleven and a half minutes, so very little to sink your teeth into, but still a mesmerising watch, Pocket Calculator especially.
A belated tribute to Florian Schneider, marking five years since his passing on 21st April 2020.
1) Numbers 0:20
2) Computer World 1:32
3) Pocket Calculator 2:35
4) Der Roboter (The Robots) 5:13
5) Home Computer 7:53
1982 you say? Ridiculously ahead of their time.
ReplyDeleteAnd so much fun!
DeleteCan, Kraftwerk, when can see Faust here?
ReplyDeleteand Amon Dull II
Deleteand the rather better known Amon Duul II
DeleteFaust and Amon Duul II will appear here eventually, I'm sure, George. Given my slipshod approach to selections however, and citing recent experience with Hatfield And The North, I can't guarantee that either or both won't also find themselves rubbing shoulders with a Spanish language disco track by Gloria Gaynor or the like...
