The Brothers Kraft with what must be the longest-ever version of their signature song, Autobahn. I had heard about this legendary performance, but was unaware until now that there was a recording of it - and good quality, too! Performed a few months after the album was released, this version clocks in at 40 minutes - 15 minutes longer than the album version.

When Kraftwerk did their famous world tour in 1981 to promote their new Computer World album, they performed some songs from their previous album, The Man-Machine, but not all. One song that was omitted was Spacelab. That song had to wait until 2012 to be performed live. By that time, of course, audio technology had advanced massively, leaving the bare-bones analogue sound of their 1981 tour firmly in the past. Here is a fan-made guess at how Spacelab might have sounded, had it been performed in 1981.

Gene Serene (quite a sexy vocalist) with All Over You. This was a moment in time. It was almost felt like a new genre - but then it wasn't one. Quite a few things in the 2000s were like that.

One more from Gene Serene. This is a jolly listen. I especially like the overlapping vocals towards the end - it reminds me of a similar bit in Idlewild's When I Argue I See Shapes.
#1980s #yuppy

A very rare and special recording: Lloyd Cole & the Commotions playing live, during their prime in 1987! This has performances of songs from the Mainstream album that I've never heard live anywhere else.

It also includes something I never thought I would hear: a proper live performance of my favourite song of theirs, Hey Rusty! The only other live versions I've heard have been crappy acoustic ones by Cole on his own, which deprive the song of its energy and triumphant tone. This version, complete with 80s synths, is so much better!
