Radioland - Radio-Activity Revisited

'Radioland: Radio-Activity Revisited' is a stunning reimagining of Kraftwerk's seminal album, created to celebrate its 40th anniversary. The perfect Christmas gift for discerning fans of cutting edge analogue electronica. And Kraftwerk! Radioland was initially devised as a breathtaking audio-visual live experience by the Anglo-French trio of Matthew Bourne (synthesisers, voice), Franck Vigroux (electronics) and visual artist Antoine Schmitt. The original music has been transformed with hurricanes of modulated electronics, earth-shattering bass frequencies, vocoders ebbing and throbbing and the occasional drop into periods of eerie near-silence. Using a variety of vintage analogue synthesisers and electronics, they have recreated the futuristic, industrial world of ominous darkness and dazzling light imagined by Kraftwerk in 1975 and reconstructed in this bold new manifestation for 2015. The album is mastered by Denis Blackham, who mastered Kraftwerk's classic 1974 album 'Autobahn'.LP -  The LP edition is limited to just 1,000 copies for the world in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with a CD included.CD - The CD release is limited to 2,000 copies and is packaged in a hardback 20-page book Both versions include liner notes by David Stubbs, author of Future Days: Krautrock and the Building of Modern Germany, and photographs and images from the project The album cover artwork is taken from the video work of Antoine Schmitt, creator of the captivating visuals that are a vital component of the Radioland performance Matthew Bourne and Franck Vigroux's impressive collective CV boasts collaborations with artists such as John Zorn, Nostalgia 77, Marc Ribot, Annette Peacock, Elliot Sharp, Mika Vainio, Ben Miller and Zeena Parkins.
