Is there a band in the area of electronic music, which does not have power plant as a model? Hardly likely. Without power plant it would probably have probably not given bands like The Human League, Depeche Mode and others. And even if the aforementioned two bands might rank among the largest in their field, so they never reach the genius of electronics gods from Germany. "Minimum-Maximum" still looks at first glance, like a best of record of Kraftwerker. And the selection is definitely also failed bombastic! In general, it is in the 30 year history of the band already a fluke that there is even a live release. And even if one has on the two CDs have not heard the title so far, one can say with a clear conscience: Each of the 23 pieces of writing in the last 30 years of music history. These songs, altered and perfected the reputation of the then analog sound technology to today digital sound reproduction. But this case I would like to address very specific milestones: For example, the title "radioactivity" excited even now (after all, already 30 years old) with its analog chorus in the background of the melody. Today this sounds crystal clear thanks to digital audio playback. The "numbers" or "home computers" are not only absolutely timeless, but also among the most sampled, you of course have to mention also if you do not know yet. With the latter, the term Techno took (in 1981 this was, after all, still a novelty) for the first time thanks to minimal beats musical shape, to power plant with "Music Non Stop" (original from 1986) finally the style techno or trance an entire generation presented. All the other titles on this live album as "tea" or "The Man Machine" are simply timeless classics and include in any regular record collection. Then there is the now clear sound and the digital revision to these benefits. So one takes this was something fresh in 2005. The originals are you anyway as a fan in the closet. Here they are all gathered together: 23 titles that revolutionized the electronic music. Buy!
