Kraftwerk - свежие новости

Только что посмотрел 47-минутный фрагмент прошлогоднего концерта Крафтверк в Питере (спасибо, Илья!)
Впечатление странное: знакомые вещи, отличная видеоподдержка, отработанная статика на сцене - но смотрится скучновато...
Может быть отого, что снято бутлежно камерой из зала через головы
К тому же важно присутствие на месте событий
Еще раз прошу откликнуться тех, кто побывал - интересует даже суровая критика :-))
Хочется разобраться в феномере этой группы - вдруг я всю жизнь ошибался, слушая их :-)))

Класс!
Неужели дождались хоть этого.
Я бы непрочь иметь их концертники 70-х и 80-х годов тоже...
Праймал, насчет этого релиза держи народ в курсе, плиз :-)))

Держу. Для совсем продвинутых любителей выйдет в одном "флаконе" двойной DVD и двойной CD "Minimum-Maximum" в 6-страничном диджипаке, с книгой в твердой обложке с кучей фото с концертов, оформления сцены и техническими данными тура.

Только что выложил заметку о релизе этого диска, возможно, что у нас он тоже выйдет.
До тебя еще не докатился?

Если ты у меня спрашиваешь, то нет. Мне самому надо "докатиться" до всего.

Этот диалог напомнл мне беседу двух обдолбанных персонажей Пелевина :-))

Если у тебя появится этот DVD - извести, плиз.

всем привет!
Кraftwerk - rules forever!
у меня есть оригинальные записи концертов (не те что выходили на mp3 у home collection),
а CD, хотя они никогда не издавались официально. Например Kraftwerk THX 1138 (Autobahn Cologne-Paris) Дата выпуска стоит 2003, хотя на cамом деле это концеpт 1974 или 1975 года.Звук там не такой как у minimum-maximum, наверное записывалось прямо с пластинок, но это !очень! редкие вещи. Также имеются все когда-либо выходящие трибьюты Kraftwerk, на родных СD и mp3. Плюс видеоклипы группы, записанные со спутника, но в неплохом качестве... Если кого интересует - пишите, возможен обмен: whisper-wind@yandex.ru

Ура!
Нашего полку прибыло!!!
Послал тебе письмо с сайта.
Жду ответа...

Выцепил на Amazone.com такое вот мнение о двойном DVD сабжа:

somewhere between minimum and maximum..., December 7, 2005
Reviewer: Stephen V. Funk (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

At long last... the reclusive mensch-machines from Dusseldorf have assembled an official "MusikFilm produkt"... Like the 2-CD collection of the same name, Minimum-Maximum was recorded live during Kraftwerk's 2004 world tour. The DVD has the same track listing as the CDs, in fact (with one "bonus track" on the DVD)... and yes, even the exact same cover art... just as you might expect from the "inventors of techno" who have embraced, emulated and literally embodied high technology, mass production, and robotic coolness for over 30 years.

I was fortunate enough to see Kraftwerk's live "produkt" in Chicago earlier this year, and the Minimum-Maximum DVD is indeed an accurate document of the concert experience -- only without the sticky floors, brain-melting volume, sweaty audience, and overpriced beer.

Вот продолжение:

Of course this is a technical improvement over the bootleg DVD I've seen of a 2004 London Kraftwerk show (although the shaky digital camerawork added a somewhat welcome human element...) The graphics and menus are sleek, simple, and streamlined. There are Stereo and DTS 5.1 Surround sound options, and as you would expect, both mixes are clean, clear, and precise (with crowd sounds and applause present when appropriate... just like on the Minimum-Maximum CDs.)

Could a live performance by an electronic band possibly be that interesting to watch? Well, Kraftwerk's unique (and strangely irresistible) stage presence has to be seen to be believed: the band (four middle-aged, clean cut German guys identically dressed in a variety of subdued yet strange outfits) stand behind laptops and synthesizers doing whatever they do back there (maybe playing Solitaire or balancing their checkbooks? we never do get so see those laptop computer screens on the DVD...) and the one on the left (Ralf) adds minimal vocals now and then. You know it's 90% pre-recorded/pre-programmed music, but watching these four guys up there tapping their feet and bobbing around is somehow quite adorable and engaging. The big "theatrical" moment comes when the band members are replaced by creepy/kitschy robot versions of themselves performing the song... yes, you guessed it: The Robots. If you expect stage diving and guitar burning, though, you've definitely come to the wrong place.

и кода:

Visually, the DVD is mostly a standard "concert video," with frequent wide shots of the stage area and the all-important visuals projected behind the band... essentially you'll see the show as if you had been there... sitting in the best seats in the house. Maybe this is as it should be -- just don't expect an electronica Woodstock or a techno Gimme Shelter... (wouldn't that be great, though?)

There are some occasional close-ups and attempts at "production touches" that are a bit awkward, such as showing the band members' hands and heads on the buttons of the "Pocket Calculator" (resulting in sort of a Brady Bunch/Hollywood Squares effect.) There's also a rather amateurish digitally pixellated pseudo-psychadelic freak out during Home Computer (do not adjust your DVD player...) Now and then there are split-screens and cross-fades, and when the background videos are in black and white, the band is also (not sure if that's supposed to be "artistic" or some kind of mistake...) And I noticed only one crowd shot during the entire two hour concert. Overall, in contrast to the highly stylized, synchronized, and very professional projected films used by the band, the production, direction, and editing of the concert itself has a surprisingly (and slightly embarrassing, especially for Kraftwerk) low budget digital video look to it (the credits list a three man camera crew, which is very obvious...) It's almost like they got a few of those bootleg camera guys and gave them a couple thousand bucks to improve upon their earlier efforts.

I would nevertheless recommed this release as an entirely functional live concert DVD of a legendary band... but I do have a few more gripes: Most importantly, why isn't there more bonus material? Yes, it's fun and weird to see Krafterk performing at the MTV video awards... but surely there are plenty of rare video goodies in the KlingKlang vaults that could have been included (like we got on Led Zeppelin's amazing double DVD.) And why not release the CDs and DVDs at the same time (or packaged together) rather than hitting the fans with the ol' "double dip" a few months after we've already bought the CDs (and possibly a concert ticket too)? It also doesn't indicate anywhere on the packaging or credits where any of this was actually filmed... it looks like it's all the same venue, but who knows (I guess who cares when the show is pretty much the same everywhere... but this info is to be expected on a live concert release -- and besides, the Minimum-Maximum CDs list the city and venue for each track!) ... sigh... well, let's wrap this up...!

Are you new to Kraftwerk? You need this: it's a good way to immerse yourself in the band... The less memorable new material (Expo 2000, Vitamin, an overlong Tour de France sequence) is much more enjoyable with the visuals, plus you get all the classic Kraftwerk hits (albeit in their digitized The Mix versions) and all the fabulous retro-futuristic imagery from the band's past and present all in one shiny package.

Are you a longtime Kraftwerk fan? You need this too (actually you probably already have it): True, you'll feel shortchanged by the lack of bonus material and surprised that the video produciton quality isn't at the same meticulously professional level you have come to expect from Kraftwerk. Regardless, you're grateful there's finally an official KlingKlang DVD, and if you've never seen the band live, this is the next best thing.

A final note for avid collectors, obsessed fans, and/or the independently wealthy: There's a deluxe limited edition "Notebook" Minimum-Maximum box set packaged as a fake laptop computer... it includes the DVDs and CDs plus an 88 page book of tour photos and technical data... (technical data...? would anyone really pay extra for that...? and who needs photos when you have the DVDs...? I think I'll pass, guys.... maybe next time...)

Во время просмотра, мне показалось, что на концерте в San Francisco the Warfield, кто-то из толпы бросил что-то во Флориана Шнейдера, но не попали. Зато реакция Флориана очень хорошо видна. Я в ауте!

Помогите.
Нужен скан DVD в хорошем разрешении (300 dpi). У знакомого собака съела коробку, диски целы.
Заранее благодарен.
