Kraftwerk - Tokyo 1981 / Radio Transmission (Radio Broadcast Recording) - CD

Kraftwerk should be the most boring live band ever – four, oldish, unanimated German men standing in a row behind their black, faceless synth workstations – yet in reality, they deliver some of the most exciting live multimedia experiences to be had.

They are one of the most interesting artists in the history of popular music. In the early 1970s they invented a whole new genre of music which was completely forward looking – there was no impersonating their idols and no expectations about how this music should sound.
With instrumentation which consisted purely of synthesisers, they pioneered the “sequenced” synthesiser allowing for mechanically precise rhythms.

This compact disc contains the legendary concert from Tokyo, recorded in 1981 for broadcast.
