Minimum-Maximum
Encyclopedia
Minimum-Maximum is the first official live album release by Kraftwerk
, released in June 2005, almost 35 years after the group gave their first live performance. It features two CDs
and tracks recorded on their world tour during 2004, including concerts in Warsaw
, Moscow, Berlin, London, Budapest
, Tallinn
, Riga
, Tokyo and San Francisco.
Like many of their studio albums, Minimum-Maximum was released in two different language versions: the band's native German, and English for the international market. However, of the 23 tracks on the album, only the recordings of "The Model", "Radioactivity
", "Trans-Europe Express" / "Metal on Metal", "Computer World", "Pocket Calculator" and "The Robots
" are actually different between the releases. The album title, an excerpt from the lyrics of the song "Elektro-Kardiogramm
" (which only exists in an English-language version), is the same for both German and English versions.
In an interview for Mojo Magazine, Ralf Hütter regretted the fact that they could not include recordings from their 2004 concert in Santiago de Chile:
The album was also released as a double live concert DVD
with DTS 5.1 sound on 5 December 2005.
The track "Planet of Visions", is a reworked version of the song "Expo 2000
", based on a 2001 remix by Underground Resistance
.
The vocoder text "Sellafield 2
" at the start of "Radioactivity
" / "Radioaktivität" is included for the first time on the CD and DVD set. The intro vocoder text before "The Man-Machine" / "Die Mensch-Maschine" is included only on the DVD release.
Minimum-Maximum was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album
in 2006.
This album has been released with the Copy Control
protection system in some regions.
In the German version of the track listing (as on The Mix
album) after "Trans-Europa Express" is an extra title, "Abzug", followed by "Metall auf Metall". For the international version of the album the title "Abzug" was dropped and the music incorporated as part of "Trans-Europe Express", thus making the disc appear to be one track shorter. The original 1977 German album has these track titles in a different order, though the music is basically the same arrangement.

Since 2002 all sounds have been created using virtual technology (i.e. software replicating and replacing original analogue or digital equipment). According to Fritz Hilpert
, interviewed in 2009, "the mobility of music technology and the reliability of the notebooks and software have greatly simplified the realization of complex touring setups: We generate all sounds on the laptops in real time and manipulate them with controller maps. It takes almost no time to get our compact stage system set up for performance. […] This way, we can bring our Kling-Klang Studio with us on stage. The physical light weight of our equipment also translates into an enormous ease of use when working with software synthesizers and sound processors. Every tool imaginable is within immediate reach or just a few mouse clicks away on the Internet."
