Kraftwerk 3-D X 12

There’s only one Kraftwerk.  Founded in 1970, the band gave that decade’s music fans a taste of the future with its recordings filled with synthetic voices and computerized rhythms. 

Kraftwerk is a total immersion experience, not only through sound and lights but also through innovative visuals as the band transports its fans to other realities.  Calling Kraftwerk a “man-machine,” the New York Times’ Jon Pareles described an evening at United Palace Theatre in 2014 that astounded audiences.

“During ‘Spacelab,’ set in a spaceship cockpit so retro its equipment included reel-to-reel tapes, a drone seemed to be hovering above the theater’s front rows; then it revealed itself as a long-needled probe and plunged suddenly into the audience, which gasped,” Pareles wrote.  “There were surround-sound speakers, too, with voices and bits of synthetic melody popping up from multiple directions.”
