Comment:

A few months ago I decided to make a Kraftwerk sampler for my girlfriend...but I had no idea how to structure it. For one, Kraftwerk songs tend to be lengthy. I first decided to make a two disc set with all my selections in chrono order, but a poster here (Spacelab) pointed out that two discs would probably cover most of their material. So I decided to leave a lot of room on each disc and make them themed. Since Kraftwerk can be a little off putting to the casual listener, I decided the first disc would be more poppy material and the second would be more ambient or ponderous material. Then I decided to try and edit a lot of the songs down to more wieldy lengths, but I soon gave that up because I thought it was blasphemy (even though I made a nifty 10 minute edit of the original "Autobahn" that contains chunks of every section). So here is volume 1, which I think is a good starter kit. There were a lot of well-known songs in the gray area, like "Trans-Europe Express," "Radioactivity" and "The Robots," which I decided to leave for the "ambient" collection for various reasons. Even though I should have included the original "Autobahn" for historical significance, I ended up going with the "The Mix" version since it's much shorter and I didn't have to edit anything (plus, you just can't beat that a cappella chorus of robots near the end). I'll probably never be completely satisfied with my selections. Ah well. Let me know what you think.
