None of Kraftwerk’s prog-leaning, first three albums are on this site (they weren’t part of the big reissue/remaster programme in 2009), but this closing track from Autobahn hints at the group’s earlier existence. Florian Schneider’s flute conjures up ghosts of 1971’s Kling Klang, after which he and Hütter would later name their studio. It also recalls 1973’s more pastoral Tongebirge (which translates, deliciously, as Mountain of Sound), from the hard to find LP, Ralf und Florian. The concept album belongs to the late 1960s as a cultural phenomenon, a time of wilful excess in sound, thought and ego. Kraftwerk made concept albums, too, although theirs were set and fixed on more minimal lines. Take this 22-minute journey from door slam and accelerator roar – a device echoed in Roxy Music’s Love Is the Drug a year later – through a largely blissful, but occasionally sinister, on-the-road reverie.

Kraftwerk, the pioneering German band, has won the Grammy for best dance/electronic album. The band already won a lifetime achievement award four years ago. Kraftwerk's "3-D The Catalogue" won best dance/electronic album at the Grammy Awards on Sunday ahead of the main ceremony. It was among dozens of categories awarded before the televised show at New York's Madison Square Garden on Sunday night. Other competitors in the category best dance/electronic album were "Migration" from Bonobo, Mura Masa's self-titled album, "A Moment Apart" by Odesza, and "What Now" by Sylvan Esso. The band was awarded a Grammy for lifetime achievement in 2014. Beatles of electronic dance'.

The album is Kraftwerk at its most melancholy and oblique- wreathed in decaying fuzz and crackle and ghostly background tones. It's also where the band's remastering job is least effective. So it's easy to view The Mix- a selection of their old work, digitised and retooled to 1990-era specifications- with suspicion.
