NOTES:
Day six of Kraftwerk's residency brings us to the show that spotlights an
album some Kraftwerk fans consider 'the one that got away'.
'Techno Pop' is something of an unloved stepchild in some quarters. The album,
originally released in 1986 under the title 'Electric Cafe', had taken five
years to produce after 'Computer World'. Delays along the way had caused even
the band themselves to question whether the album was still relevant in the
way their previous work had been.
When it finally came out, the reception was lukewarm. Wikipedia says that
"audiences generally appeared to find the music somewhat more sterile and less
engaging".
Whilst 'Electric Cafe' was indeed very different from the band's previous
albums, I actually disagree with this. It's not my favourite of the band's
albums by any means, but it does contains some fine tracks. 'The Telephone
Call' has a very catchy melody and the suite of 'Boing Boom Tschak', 'Techno
Pop' and 'Musique Non Stop' that closes every Kraftwerk show is simply
sublime.
The audience at tonight's show appear more casual. Tickets were still
available for this concert long after the others had sold out, allowing people
with a more passing interest in the band to purchase tickets right up until
the start of the residency last Friday.
The album's running order is necessarily altered tonight to allow the
aforementioned three song suite to close the show, as it always does. Even
allowing for that, however, 'Electric Cafe' is still moved to the top of the
set, whereas it comes last on the actual album.
'Vitamin' makes its residency debut this evening, with 'Airwaves' taken out to
make room for it. Other than that, there are no notable changes to the 'best
of' section of the set.
Once again, the recording was made under the same conditions and with the same
parameters as the previous ones. The mastering is again almost identical, as
is the resultant listening experience.
As always, samples are included to allow you to try before you buy. If you've
downloaded any of the others in this series so far, however, you already know
what to expect.Scans of the ticket and both sides of the glasses envelope are also included.
