Kraftwerk, Hong Kong, 2008-12-05

After decades, the pioneers of electronic music, Kraftwerk, stepped onto Hong Kong stage tonight at AsiaWorld-Expo Hall 9. The group started off with "The Man-Machine". They made some different arrangement to some of the songs ("Planet Of Visions", "Home Computer") and they played two songs, "Computer Love" and "Showroom Dummies" which do not appear on their live album Minimum Maximum. The robotic dance part of "The Robots" was really amazing, and led the audience crazy. With the superb surround sound setting and visuals, Kraftwerk proved they still do matter.
