Comment:

The long overdue companion volume to my "Schaufensterpuppen" CD, the focus this time being on some of Kraftwerk's more ambient, less accessible fare. An argument could be made that "Ruckzuck" doesn't really belong here, as it was made prior to the band becoming synth-heads, and that "Expo 2000" should have been presented in its original format, but I like both of the songs in question so much that I decided to sally forth. "Ruckzuck" is a fascinating glimpse into the early genesis of Kraftwerk (and hey, let's face it, the theme to "Newton's Apple") and works especially well alongside "Trans-Europe Express." I guess I could have put the "Expo" remix on "Schaufensterpuppen" and the regular version on this CD, but "Expo" didn't quite fit the rubric there, and I prefer the remix by a longshot. Oh, same with the "Mix" version of "Music Non Stop," which closed the absolutely incredible Kraftwerk show I saw in 1998. I still can't believe I actually saw them live.
