Kraftwerk - The Catalogue (12345678)
Kraftwerk - The Catalogue (12345678)
Kraftwerk - The Catalogue (12345678) (2004) ? I number among my friends a handful, perhaps more, of electronic music enthusiasts. Haloed around them are acquaintances who take their pleasure in different areas of the post-rave electronic dance diaspora (from jungle to dubstep, minimal techno to house etc.) and who regard themselves as reasonably knowledgeable about their respective scenes. Quite a few people in both camps are surprisingly unaware of the progenitors of the music they love. Please note I?m not claiming that Kraftwerk are the sole begetters of the myriad genres and sub-genres that make up dance music today: the sampling of Trans-Europe Express on Afrika Bambaata?s Planet Rock doesn?t mean they invented hiphop ? a daft claim I?ve encountered on more than one occasion. However, their techniques, musical approach and subject matter certainly justify their position as the fathers of a majority of electronic and post-rave dance music. Kraftwerk?s world tours between 2002 and 2006 and the Minimum Maximum DVD and CD live documentation have been an exercise in raising brand awareness and a chance to reaffirm the importance of their role. The activity also perhaps represents a rediscovered love of their own music and a desire to refresh and refine their oeuvre, as they did in 1991 with The Mix. Whether it also proves to be their swan song cannot be known, however I believe it?s likely to be the case in light of the thematic closure (ecologically supportable and efficient reconciliation between man and machine) that Tour De France represents. Ultimately though, the activity of the last few years is surely the essaying of a summation of a life?s work for the judgement of posterity. Der Katalog, the long-mooted and long delayed, digitally-remastered box collection of the group?s key releases is surely the final stage of this process. That it represents a dotting of the full stop at the (possible) end of a long career may also be one reason why it has now been delayed for so long. Other reasons are probably the group?s famed perfectionism and also a pragmatic scheduling of relatively similar releases at an interval that will reduce consumer exhaustion to a minimum. Unsurprisingly, the three albums (Kraftwerk I, II and Ralf and Florian) that predated Autobahn are missing from Der Katalog. Their inclusion would have disrupted the otherwise striking consistency of the group?s approach over the last 30 years, a key, though relatively minor factor in their wider historical significance. In light of Kraftwerk?s remarkable, and welcome, self-control in not releasing extraneous product, even the smallest details acquire greater significance than would be the case for other artists. Thus, Der Katalog sees the renaming of Electric Caf? to the more sweeping (and originally titled) Techno Pop and the improved iconography of album visuals: the group portrait of Trans-Europe Express, replaced by a train symbol, the radioactivity warning symbol replacing the original radio set on the cover of Radioactivity. This is in contrast to the characteristic, but still surprisingly poor availability of the group?s back catalogue. For many years it was difficult to purchase Computer World (viewed by many as seminal) on CD. The inlay card on my copy of The Man Machine is a collage selling albums by other artists, common practice on inner sleeves in the days of vinyl, but rarely seen on CD. Such details are characteristic for a group that has occasionally, and endearingly, failed to live up to its own image of machinic self-discipline and corporate presentation: many commentators make the common mistake of assuming that Kraftwerk have hymned the machine to the exclusion of feeling, but the central theme of their oeuvre, and what continues to ensure their relevancy, is their examination of the impact of technology on humanity itself. If you?re tempted to purchase a copy of Der Katalog on eBay, prices tend to be in the region of ?150 to ?300 and copies are rarely available.
Autobahn
Although Kraftwerk’s first three albums were groundbreaking in their own right, Autobahn is where the group’s hypnotic electronic pulse genuinely came into its own. The main difference between Autobahn and its predecessors is how it develops an insistent, propulsive pulse that makes the repeated rhythms and riffs of the shimmering electronic keyboards and trance-like guitars all the more hypnotizing. The 22-minute title track, in a severely edited form, became an international hit single and remains the peak of the band’s achievements ? it encapsulates the band and why they are important within one track ? but the rest of the album provides soundscapes equally as intriguing. Within Autobahn, the roots of electro-funk, ambient, and synth pop are all evident ? it’s a pioneering album, even if its electronic trances might not capture the attention of all listeners.

Mike Rutherford (genesis) - Smallcreep’s DayFiled under Music by rcggordon on 20-08-2009Tags : Club, Guitar, Industrial, Metal, RomansMike Rutherford -1980- Smallcreep’s Day
Smallcreep’s Day is the first solo album by Genesis bassist and guitarist Mike Rutherford. The title suite (occupying side 1 of the original vinyl version) is based on a dark, surrealist novel of modern English industrial life by Peter Currell Brown (“Smallcreep’s Day”) written in 1964. The story is a satire on factory automation, revolving around the character Pinquean Smallcreep. Day in, day out, Smallcreep works as a slotter. He slots one piece of metal into another ad infinitum. He has no idea what finished product he’s creating. One day, however, he decides to find out what he’s making; and so begins his journey… The album was released in 1980 and was produced by David Hentschel, who also produced the Genesis album Duke the same year. Anthony Phillips, Rutherford’s original songwriting partner in Genesis, plays keyboards on the album. It was recorded at ABBA’s Polar Studios in Stockholm, Sweden, for tax purposes, in the fall of 1979. Personnel * Produced & Engineered by David Hentschel of Dukeslodge Enterprises, assisted by David Bascombe Track Listing 08 - Moonshine – 6:23 Highlights include: * “Working in Line” - One of the two single releases from the album. If you could convert a celtic reel into a progressive-rock track, this would be the result. An unceasing driving rhythm section; along with vocals and soaring guitar solos. * “Out Into the Daylight” - Rutherford proudly shows off his guitar skills, while massive synth pads and drums fill the surrounding space. * “Time and Time Again” - A ballad, similar those of the same era in Genesis. Not particularly strong, but counted amongst highlights because this was the only other track to be chosen for single release. The album was released on vinyl in February 1980, re-released in October 1986, and the CD issue was in June 1989. All have long been deleted. The US pressing of the original LP reversed the sides, so that the “Smallcreep’s Day” suite was on side two. It was released there by Passport Records. There was also one track called “Compression” (6:08) which was left off the album but appeared as a B-side. This track is perhaps one of the rarest Genesis-related tracks to find since it has never been released on CD (except on a very limited-edition 2002 German fan club CD, “It’s Only Knock And Knowall”). “Romani” can be construed either as the plural of Romans, or as the classical reference to the proper name of the gypsies.
