... it's not on streaming? I see it has been mentioned here before. But it seems mysterious. And a shame.
(Then again, does anyone know why Kraftwerk do anything?)
Did he play anything in particular different from Ralf? He certainly sang like Autobahn in the lower octave, but taking the same example in the minimum maximum autobahn: in the part with the "vocoder" (votrax) it was much better with synthesized and ethereal violins with nostalgic robotic chorus voices. while now the melody sung with the votrax starts directly which is heard softly and Ralf's vocoder which sometimes doesn't even pick up well...
now nothing to take away from the band it's my favorite band and I love their songs in all their aspects, it was just to understand.
Kraftwerk from 1970 is the best era, change my mind. Also Ruckzuck is an autobahn prototype, the banging organs, the opening melody that repeats occasionally throughout, and the general vibe.
Just happen to be in Belgrade and Bucharest this summer when Kraftwerk is playing. Grabbed tickets for Bucharest. I have never seen Kraftwerk in an outdoor venue and I can't wait.
As u/Rare-Juggernaut-7532 put it, Ruck Zuck is a Trans Europe Express (TEE) Prototype. The Autobahn prototype is Kling Klang. Well...... I listened to All 3 Albums and found the three other songs (All from the first album) that also sound like Autobahn.
First up is Ruck Zuck. (Well, Hear me out, only some parts) This 8 minute-ish track has a frantic flute solo played over an organ drone, occupied buy the song randomly stopping, before getting distorted, also randomly increases in speed around the 2 minute mark, the increase follows a chaotic organ solo played over a stripped back version of the main beat. Autobahn is a 22 minute, a sort of calm but high energy track that has brighter melodies, and a mostly fixed tempo, all put together by a vocal loop talking about driving on the highway. These songs have almost NOTHING in common, right? Well..... WRONG. The calming melody from Ruck Zuck that opens the piece, while also guiding the beat in certain parts of the song sounds shockingly similar to some of the mid section melodies in Autobahn. Also during the Autobahn intro, a robot voice says "AUUUTOOOOBAAAAHHHHNNNNN" over and over on top of a low synth drone (similar to the Ruck Zuck drone). During the final time the voice says the song's title. A Banging organ solo plays under it. (JUST LIKE THE ONE DURING THE SPEED UP OF RUCK ZUCK!)
Second up is Stratovarius, also known as "Heavy Metal Kids". This is going to be a short one because there is not much to talk about. The One Thing that they actually have in common is the beat, specifically the garage vibe, and the "Car Engine Pumping" sort of vibe. That is it.
Third is Megaherz. The Entire Song just sounds like the Autobahn backing track, also the intro sounds like a car engine starting. that is it.
Other than those 4, do any other songs sound like Autobahn Prototype? let me know in the comments.
このバックを東京で買いました。
このバックは公式のものかブート品なのかどちらでしょうか。
I bought this bag in tokyo
Is this a official merch or bootleg?
I couldn't find any information even after searching online.
English is not my first language, so I apologize for any mistakes in my English.
Some record is hard to resist duplicates. Or even quadruplicates. I don’t know why but I already got 2 US and 1 German with stickers. I had them as a teenager and did what teenagers do.. Wasted them. But I followed an auction at Tradera, Swedish eBay sort of. And I followed this one, and the seller didn’t get any bids. So I got for 200 kronor. ( 17 dollars)
So now I got 2 of each. And one Japanese. No stickers there. ( I’m sure the seller would have sold it for five times the sum I paid if he had highlighted the ”sticker sheet” as the first word. Any way. All the best to you all.
Wouldn't Kraftwerk at the Las Vegas Sphere be amazing? I guess it'll never happen but a person can dream.
When I was into vinyl about 10 years ago, I bought these three bootlegs from a record shop. Non album track compilations. I do not know their history or recall the contents and sound of the records. They use the cone symbol as designations of the record's side.
Wir sind Die Roboter (1978)
Computer World (1981)
Neon Licht (1978)
Radioactivity (1975)
Europe Endless (1977)
Honorable Mention to Das Model.
Was listening to old WWE themes for nostalgia and got stuck on Booker T’s theme for a while.
Then I checked where the sample came from and found out it’s from Kraftwerk – “Musique Non Stop”.
Now somehow I’ve gone from “lol old WWE nostalgia” to not being able to stop listening to Kraftwerk. I’m genuinely addicted now.
Funny how you discover music sometimes.
