- Mute will collect eight of the best albums from the electronic pioneers in October.
Kraftwerk will undergo the deluxe reissue treatment this fall.
The legendary electronic group which arguably started it all is set to put out 12345678: The Catalogue via Mute in October. You can grab the set in a variety of different ways. Either as individual CDs, individual LPs, a CD box set or as digital downloads. Each seem to have a variety of sweeteners, with the individual CDs containing newly expanded artwork, the box set coming with "mini-vinyl" card wallet packaging or the vinyl LPs giving you "large format booklets." (Whatever that means.)
Either way, the possibility of getting remastered versions of classic Kraftwerk albums like Autobahn, Radio-Activity, Trans Europe Express, The Man Machine, Computer World, Techno Pop, The Mix and Tour De France is good enough for us, although as diehard fans we were heartened by the rumor that the group also intends to reissue their first three albums as well, sometime after the release of Catalogue.
Mute will release 12345678 in October.
