Kraftwerk – 12345678 The Catalogue Four Decades of Masterworks
CD & Download: 12th October 2009
CD Box Set & Vinyl: 16th November 2009
Kraftwerk: Electro Pioneers, living legends and globally revered masters of electronic sound, celebrate the 35th anniversary of their landmark 1974 hit ‘Autobahn’ by releasing digitally remastered versions of eight astounding albums on 12th October 2009. In addition to the individual CD albums, there will be a stylish Box Set and heavyweight vinyl pressings available on 16th November 2009. Rolling back musical barriers with every forward-thinking phase of their career, Dusseldorf’s Zen masters of electronic minimalism laid the foundations for four decades of computerised pop and dance music. By chain reaction and mutation, they have influenced generations of artists in all genres, mapping musical futures yet to come. From Bowie to Daft Punk, Aphex Twin to Portishead, Dr Dre to LCD Soundsystem, and almost everyone in between, the mark of Kraftwerk is endless, endless.
In 2009 Kraftwerk have upgraded their Kling Klang masters with the latest studio technology and these eight magnificent recordings still sound like nothing else in the history of music. Kraftwerk are unique, pristine, profound and beautiful. Decades may pass, but their streamlined synthetic symphonies stand outside time, as fresh as tomorrow, transcendent and sublime.
12345678 The Catalogue will be released across the following formats:
8 x individual CDs presented in special slipcases featuring newly expanded artwork, including many previously unseen images all of which have been reproduced to the highest technical standards.
CD Box Set containing 8 x CDs in ‘mini-vinyl’ card wallet packaging, plus individual large format booklets.
8 x individual heavyweight vinyl LPs with large format booklets.

Tried to look up some “mellow” records yesterday, but it turns out most of them are in storage. This old mellow mix has been offline for quite a while, so I attempted a new one. It is not very well done, but hey, I am getting old as well.
You probably know Clone Classic Cuts which has been re-releasing a lot of great music in the past years. There is now a nice compilation which gathers a lot of the releases on one CD (or one download).
First Clone Classic Cuts compilation with some rare and influential dance tracks selected and remastered for future generations. At the time these where among the most cutting edge underground dance records around and its producers are critically acclaimed for their pioneering work. Now around 20 years after the original release, these tracks still sound totally fresh and are an influence for a new generation. This first compilation comes after 10 vinyl re-releases on the Clone Classic Cuts label, 10 releases which have been remastered from original masters found in dusty basements in Milan or Chicago, or remastered from one of the very rare original 12’’s with the best possible digital technologies.
Check out this music of Larry Heard (Mr Fingers) , Fockewulf 190 , Jackson Jones, Los Angeles TF, Tyree Cooper,Oppenheimer Analysis, Mike Dunn, Mystic (aka Rodney Bakerr), Gay Cat Park or Knight Action. it seems these pioneers were so far ahead of its time, you begin to wonder what the majority of the electronic-music producers have been working on these past two decades…
Lots of great rave parties in Belgium from Rave Our Souls etc.
;)
