Zeitkratzer - Performs Songs from the Albums Kraftwerk and Kraftwerk 2 '2017

Tracks list

...KRAFTWERK 2 - As KRAFTWERK never re-released these albums, ZEITKRATZER gave
its best to cover the first tranche of the songs (second tranche to come...).
Recorded in Marseille, France in May 2016, the six tracks reveal a bucolic and
even psychedelic aspect of the ensemble thats mostly known (or feared) for its
interpretatory and aesthetic acerbity. And yet, theres no doubt that Songs From
The Albums Kraftwerk And Kraftwerk 2 turned out a true ZEITKRATZER recording in
the best and full meaning!

Founded in 1997 by Reinhold Friedl, ZEITKRATZER have since been creating an
impressive catalogue of recordings that embraces 20th century avant-garde
composers (CAGE, STOCKHAUSEN, LUCIER) as well as electronic artists (CARSTEN
NICOLAI, TERRE THAEMLITZ) or underground experimentalists like THROBBING GRISTLE
or COLUMN ONE. In their 20th anniversary year, the critically acclaimed ensemble
will release a series of diverse albums that will explore new grounds in the
typical, adventurous zeitkratzer way – the first of these albums is
dedicated to KRAFTWERK and their early, kraut-esque albums
“Kraftwerk” and “Kraftwerk 2”. As KRAFTWERK never
re-released these albums, ZEITKRATZER gave its best to cover the first tranche
of the songs (second tranche to come…).
