Kraftwerk

“Minimum-Maximum”

With its mechanized rhythms and reliance on sequences, Kraftwerk doesn’t seem the best candidate for a live album. One of the legendary German group’s biggest attractions on stage is its multimedia presentation, and you can’t listen to a light show. But this double disc actually serves as a much-needed best-of, with all of Kraftwerk’s quirky, groundbreaking “hits”–“The Model,” “Trans Europe Express,” “Autobahn.” It’s enough to make even the rustiest robot groove.

Best track: “Radioactivity,” a spooky, cautionary drone livened up with some added dance-friendly beats.
