Limited 8cd box set. Following their imminent performance at this year's Ultra Music Festival in Miami, KRAFTWERK are poised to land in New York to perform "Retrospective 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8", a unique series of concerts running from 10-17 April at the Museum of Modern Art. The elaborate staging of the performances will combine sound and 3D imagery to present more than 40 years of musical and technological innovation, along with new improvisations and 3D projections. The albums will be performed in chronological order: Autobahn (1974), Radio-Activity (1975), Trans Europe Express (1977), The Man-Machine (1978), Computer World (1981), Techno Pop (1986), The Mix (1991) and Tour de France (2003). To commemorate this illustrious event, EMI will release a special, limited edition version of the 2009 Digital Masters box set "The Catalogue" on April 10. Originally released to celebrate the 35th anniversary of their landmark 1974 hit Autobahn and featuring the long-awaited digitally remastered versions of their eight classic albums, the CD box set contains all eight albums on remastered CDs in 'mini-vinyl' card wallet packaging, plus individual large format booklets. However this time, the set will come packaged in a black box which is only being manufactured as an individually numbered, worldwide edition of 2000 copies.
