Kraftwerk are one of the most influential bands in pop history. In a career spanning more than 35 years, the German electro pioneers have been endlessly saluted and mimicked by each new generation of innovators. In the late 1970s, the post-punk futurists professed their devotion. In the 1980s and '90s, the leading lights of Chicago house along with Detroit and Euro techno paid homage. Kraftwerk are possibly the most sampled band on the planet, and their music continues to inspire.
Last year, Ralf Hütter, Florian Schneider, Fritz Hilpert and Henning Schmitz toured the world playing 69 shows that were unlike anything seen before. A truly unique audio / visual spectacular that prompted global headlines like this from the London Evening Standard: "Is This the Greatest Show London Has Ever Seen?"
Now in 2005, EMI Records is proud to release a 2-CD live set entitled ‘Minimum-maximum’ on June 6th containing 22 tracks recorded throughout Europe, Japan and the US during the band's 2004 World Tour. Recorded and mixed with Kraftwerk's legendary precision, ‘Minimum-Maximum’ features all of the band's classics in stunning live clarity. Kraftwerk have also announced dates to support the release of ‘Minimum Maximum’.
