Minimum-Maximum, the double DVD recording of Kraftwerk's world tour in 2004 is a perfect piece of video art. The stunning graphics accompanying the songs look even better on video than live (I saw the show at the Coliseu dos Recreios, in Lisbon). Kraftwerk always aimed for perfection. No loose ends, no accidents, no superfluous moves. Their hieratic show runs through their entire career, from Autobahn to Tour de France, with a perfect blend of wit and majesty. The visual counterpoint brings to life all their classic songs - from Man Machine to Elektro Kardiogramm. Hypnotic.
