I was originally going to get the German one, but went for the English one in the end, I'd be more familiar with those anyway.
Looking forward to first 3 album box, see you in 5-20 years, might buy the new Blue Nile album on the same day.

Remaster sounds absolutely teriffic by the way. A lot more 'thump' and there are a few hidden noises in "Neon Lights" I didn't notice on my old copies

Yup, decent price bought mine from Amazon.
Flipping €89.99 in the shops, what kind of exchange rate is that?
Riddle me this, I was playing Radioactivity on the way home, loads of German vocals on that album....so which ones are different on the English v German versions?

Yeah, I paid €84.99 (+ shipping) from Amazon and got my cc statement in today for the purchase. Worked out to almost $150 US. Man. It's such a stunning set, but...yikes, that's a killer.

As for Radio-Aktivitat, it's not like the other albums where all of the lyrics are in German. It's just different in titles. I learned that when I bought a German version of it on cd in the 90s and it had the same lyrics (mixture of English and German).

I was a bit confused to what they were trying to do there as well. It seems like they were trying to replace Electric Cafe with Techno Pop, what was supposed to be the 'original' version of that album before Hutter's bike crash sidelined it. I was pretty excited for that because Bartos had hinted that there were completed versions of Techno Pop around, which IIRC would have included "Tour de France" on it. Releasing the album this way with "House Phone" implies that the track was around before the single and was originally intended to be on the album. All things considered I don't think it's a big deal...the second half of "Call" was all jamming anyway, wasn't it?

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

got both the german boxset,
and the american ones yesterday!!!!

i love the huge box, and the booklets and
the packaging! although i don't like the way
the cd's have to be in the box, and i wish it
had a separate smaller package that fits in the
box.. like the 2004 promo..

i also got the 9 track promo sampler!...

so now all i need are the individual german/english
releases, and the the Vinyl package, and i'll be set..

the pictures in the booklets are very high quality,
and very cool to look through..

i enjoyed the 'laptop' boxset, and booklet from the 'maximum minimum'
tour..

i don't know how kraftwerk is able to put out such amazing releases,
considering how few they have, and their smaller market share..

but as fan, i'm in heaven!!!!!

underworld, please do this someday!!!

bjork/depeche mode/pet shop boys/u2, all have had amazing deluxe
boxset releases with multiple singles...

you can do it also !!!!!!
