SO pleased that this was released on vinyl. For me, this is THE definitive Kraftwerk album--and I am well aware that there is no shortage of people who would disagree with me on that. Also, this was my first exposure to Kraftwerk in high school; I played this CD to hell and back. So take that with a grain of salt.

Regardless, this vinyl was such a long time coming. The emphasis is on DJ friendliness, with a dab of Detroit influence on the engineering style. The tracks include 909/808-ified mixes of The Robots, Radio-Activity, and other late 70s/early-mid 80s Kraftwerk tracks that were crowning achievements electronic music--but didnt necessarily go out of their way to be urban dance scene oriented.

Not that thats a good or a bad thing, it is what it is.

Be that as it may, this is a fantastic release and Im thrilled that it has come out on wax.
