3-D The Catalogue
2017 live album by Kraftwerk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
3-D The Catalogue (German: 3-D Der Katalog) is the second official live album by German electronic music band Kraftwerk. It was released on 26 May 2017 on several format iterations, including a deluxe four-disc Blu-ray box set with Dolby Atmos multichannel audio and continuous 3-D movies accompanying the audio as well as a large hardback book of photos; an eight-disc CD box set; and a nine-disc vinyl box set.[8][9] It consists of live versions of every studio album Kraftwerk song from Autobahn (1974) to Tour de France Soundtracks (2003), although crowd noise was removed from the recordings. The performances were recorded between April 2012 and October 2016 at venues around the world. The album was nominated for Best Surround Sound Album and won Best Dance/Electronic Album at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, the band's first Grammy win.[10]
