Congratulations to my favorite knob twiddlers on their Grammy win last night (1/28/18) for best dance/electronic album, 3-D The Catalogue.  (They won a lifetime achievement award four years ago). The multimedia package includes eight CDs and a vinyl record, providing surround-sound versions of Kraftwerk’s classic tracks such as “The Robots,” “Pocket Calculator” and “Trans-Europe Express.” The recordings were remastered to exclude extraneous crowd noise, unlike traditional live albums. The word 3-D in the title refers to glasses given to audience members.

It’s time to revisit my Kraftwerk 3-D concert reviews:
