HMV Review

One of electronic music痴 most crucial and lavish box sets, The Catalogue contains eight Kraftwerk albums remastered by founding member Ralf Hutter: Autobahn (1974), Radio-Activity (1975), Trans-Europe Express (1977), The Man-Machine (1978), Computer World (1981), Electric Cafe (aka Techno Pop, 1986), The Mix (1991), and Tour de France Soundtracks (2003). Some purists were upset with liberties taken by Hutter -- specific elements of certain songs sound sharpened, evidence of some noise reduction, and so forth -- but they are few in number and minor in effect. (The gripes were quite possibly made with the intent to prove that they know the ins and outs of these albums more than you do.) The box itself is 12 inches by 12 inches, rather hefty. The eight discs, nested in four dense foam compartments, are individually packaged in sleeves that replicate the original artwork, whether through the disc痴 pouch or the slipcase in which the pouch is (tightly) housed. Each album gets its own 12-by-12 booklet with full-page images. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi

    31st Century Idle Man  |  千葉県  |  不明  |  12/December/2009

    音質最高、音楽最高、お手頃値段も最高。箱の中身の特典も最高。ついでにボックスの大きさも重さも最高?マニアは当然入手だが、一般的なファンは、単売で買った方が無難。Beatles in MONOをイメージすると大幅に外れ、LPジャケットサイズの箱に、同サイズの各CDを対象にしたスリーブが8種類入っており、そのスリーブの重さも半端ではない。重量スリーブの下に紙ジャケCDが鎮座してるので、取り出すまで一苦労。まさにLPを聞くときの儀式のようです。ちなみに今回のリマスターで、Electric CafeがTechno Popに改題され、Telephone Callが短縮シングルバージョンに変更。12インチのみで出ていたHouse Phoneが追加。Electric Cafeだけは売り飛ばさない方が無難です。もちろん音楽の中身はいうことなし。

    彼らのファン(マニア?)が常に悩むのが言語の問題。UK盤ですから、英語なのでしょうねえ、、、独語盤、、、出るんでしょうね、、、国内盤、、、”電卓”が気になるところですねえ(^^; ヴァージョン違いはボーナストラックとして、”世界統一盤”で出してほしいところなのですが、、、 全て好きな作品ですが、どれか一枚と言われれば、”Trans Europe Express”をあげますね。今聴いても全く古くない、、、いや新しいと思います!
