I just got a chance to listen to the complete album, and I'm very excited about this new release! This isn't a review, just my initial reaction to the new material. The 'Vitamin' track is my favourite, having a 'Man Machine' (the album) kind of sound, but the others are great too, some reaching a kind of hypnotic TEE feeling. All of them, however, are complex productions with layers upon layers of sounds while still retaining the minimalist Kraftwerk trademark. Even the long, seemingly monotone pieces never get boring - these tracks evolve and pulsate all the time. At the concert in Paris last autumn, they played some new "techno" like tracks, which I assumed was part of their new album material, but luckily this was not the case. This album is a thourough quality release, and I eagerly await their new tour dates - I'm willing to travel! :) With regards, -simon lindgren
