Maximum effect 6 Dec 2005
Format:DVD
At last. Film of Kraftwerk in concert from their recent world tour, spread over 2 DVDs, and it doesn't come much better than this. Right from the opening of "Man Machine" when the curtains part to reveal the four standing in black suits at keyboard/PC terminals, bathed in red light, the crowd go wild. As the lyrics come in, the back projections, sometimes three separate screens, sometimes joined together as one, spring to life with simple but stunning graphics. No where is this more beautifully demonstrated than "Vitamin", where the group are backed by a huge display of CGI tablets dropping slowly from the heavens, or a huge white Vitamin tablet twisting and panning across the screen. Other songs are accompanied by some of their older, less fancy, films, such as the 1950s black and white haute couture film used for "The Model", or the old Tour de France footage which we've seen before on previous tours. Rather than just film the concert, images of the projections alone are often cut in seamlessly to the concert footage, or overlayed on top of the concert shots (again, "Vitamin" scores heavily with the pills seeming to tumble out of the TV screen toward the viewer at the end). The "Computer World" segment is probably the highlight of the set, with a great discordant "Numbers" and a rousing "Pocket Calculator/Dentaku". German humnour is evident in the trail of flashings white LEDs now apparent on the Kraftwerk black ties.

After an encore of "The Robots" featuring, as ever, Kraftwerk's favourite toys, (though close-ups reveal the paint now chipping off here and there), back come the band in fluorescent gridded cycle wear for a storming finale, ending with a blinding "Music Non Stop" which features those animated and rather creepy "Electric Cafe" faces. Two hours of top gig entertainment and never boring.

Packaging is kept to a predictable Kling-Klang minimum - I suppose there's no need for extra photos on a live concert DVD anyway. No details of where it was filmed, or who directed it. As a bonus, there's a performance of a shorter version of "Aerodynamik" from an MTV awards show a couple of years back. Lots of graphics displays all around the auditorium make this a quite different and just as interesting alternative to the longer concert version: imagine Kraftwerk caught in the green data stream of "The Matrix". The audio mix for the gig is the same one as the audio CD release (which didn't include the MTV segment). All in all though, maximum effect, and hats off to Amazon for a minimum price!

Format:DVD
4 middle aged men standing in front of laptops - almost motionless. This really should not work as a Live DVD, but there is just something about it that makes me return to it over and over again.
The sound is excellent, the colours are intense, and there is a formality and minimality to the video direction that perfectly compliments the music.
And, best of all - you even get a track performed by the legendary Kraftwerk Robots.
You only have to watch the MTV live bonus track (with swooping cameras) to realise what a work of genius this Live DVD is.

The Wait Is Over! 12 Dec 2005
Format:DVD
Kraftwerk - Minimum - Maximum (EMI DVD 336 2949)

For a long time one of the most enigmatic, charismatic and musically adventurous bands in the history of electronic/rock/dance music, the German band Kraftwerk have recently been enjoying something of a purple patch. After many long years of silence they released an album of new material, toured the world, released a double live album and now we have the double DVD package recording the exceptional performances from that world tour. I think it is fair to say that Kraftwerk are probably the most static performers in the history of rock, standing behind their keyboard/laptop stands and barely moving for the two hours of the gig - and yet, thanks to a dynamic light and video show projected on three huge screens behind them the four members of the band offer a powerful show that put most other bands to shame. This double DVD contains twenty tracks - a lot of old classics such as The Man Machine, Radio Activity, Autobahn, The Model, Computer World, Numbers, Trans Europe Express, and the audience pleasing The Robots. And then there is the new material, Tour De France 03, Vitamin, Elecktro Kardiogramm and Aero Dynamik. An introduction and greatest hits rolled into one excellent package, this DVD set [and the audio CD set too] confirm that Kraftwerk are one of popular music's greatest innovators.
