@viniciusvideobox I disagree, but it's nice to see criticism on a Kraftwerk vid that isn't: "OMG Y0U GUY5 CALL TH!S SHIT MU5IC? TH3Y D0NT EVEN 51NG AND TH3я3's NOT GUITAяS!1!!1!!!"
this beat is so good i looove kraftwerk!!!!!!! they created THE sound and attitude for electronic music to build off of. i wonder what these guys are like?
Chef d'oeuvre incontestable de la musique techno... Avangardiste, accrocheur visionnaire Kraftwerk demeure une référence pour les années futures... s'il y en aura
Jai beaucoup aimee cette chanson au debut de mon adolescence,aujourdhui a 38 ans cest encore meilleur.je vous aime Kraftwerk et vous etes les genies de la musique a mon avis peut importe les commentaires negatifs que jai lue.VOUS ETES SUPER EXTRAORDINAIRE!!!
was machen denn die jungen? bekommen wir das überhaupt noch mit? das neue, gute musik noch irgendwo läuft wird meiner meinung nach massiv verhindert... schlechte zeiten wären das auch für kraftwerk...
Recuerdo ....escuchar este tema en una actuacción de Kraftwer.......en el "antiguo" Teatro Fleta de tu ciudad....??? ....o lo soñe?......... : ) Gracias por compartirlo¡¡¡ Un abrazo.
They'd recently upgraded their studio with lots of digital equipment, including a sampler; they must have spent hundreds of hours squeezing the last drop out of it.
@AxelDerRaven yeah, but its all about rendering times. Back in the day this probably took hundreds of hours for a computer to render, and with today's computers it would probably take minutes
@AxelDerRaven After this video came out, some people criticized it for being "behind the times" claiming they were just catching up to CGI and compared it to Max Headroom, saying the CG that produced his image was far superior and came out already. 20 years later I find out that Max Headroom was not CG but in fact Matt Frewer himself wearing facial applications and a rubber "suit." So, yes, for that time, this was maybe not cutting edge, but it was certainly not pasé.
It may be weird, even quite weird, but one thing is sure: this music is nothing like everything else in the music industry, this is definitely Kraftwerk :)
YEAH!! this one freaked me out the first time I saw it, projected on a big screen no less (in 1986 at a club called Numbers, kraftwerk influenced?] but I was drawn to it, I bought the cassette, now I have the CD, ever since then I wanted to see the video again
I think I heard this whole album on tape back in 1986, my senior year in high school. It had some killer tunes on it, but I remember a different version of this, "Sex Object," and the title cut, "Electric Cafe."
It was actually two different songs. "Boing Boom Tschak" was actually a song all by itself, as was "Musique Non Stop." In between you had "Techno Pop" and I think "Sex Object" (or, as I like to call it, Arnold Schwarzenegger goes Disco).
for me this was the last great KW album. I think they broke up shortly after that.
Close. 'Sex Object' was on the B-side. The A-side was, as you pointed out, 'Boing Boom Tschak', 'Techno Pop' and 'Musique Non Stop', in that order. The B-side was 'Der Telefon Anruf', 'Sex Object' and 'Electric Cafe'. 'Boing Boom Tschak' was merged with 'Musique Non Stop' for the single and subsequent video.
Mike Myers of SNL used 'Electric Cafe' as a theme tune for one of his spoofs, "Sprockets".

"for me this was the last great KW album. I think they broke up shortly after that."
Unfortunately they also made "Tour De France Soundtracks" in 2005/6, but yes - "Electric cafe" was, indeed, their last truly great work.
And the clip's brilliant. For me, at least.
