[Timbob]

Well, they are finally doing it.

12345678, Der katalog (or the catalogue, if you want the english one.. I prefer the german), is coming out soon.

Kraftwerk, the German legends that pretty much invented electronic pop music as we know it, are due to reissue eight of their albums in a massive box set called 12345678: The Catalogue. Five of the albums will also be reissued as individual titles.

The box is due October 6 in the U.S. from EMI. That's the cover art above. It'll feature the following discs: 1974's Autobahn, 1975's Radio-Activity, 1977's stone classic Trans-Europe Express, 1978's The Man Machine, 1981's Computer World, 1986's Techno Pop, the 1991 remix comp The Mix, and 2003's Tour De France. (The band's first three albums are not included.)

And it will all be remastered.
There's an option to pre-order at amazon.de

I've been playing kraftwerk like nobodies business lately, so it was a welcome surprise to hear. Can't wait!
