Like you say, I do think it's a shame that they've whitewashed the early years out of their 'history'.

Remember hearing the Organisation album Tone Float and loving it. It is a totally different beast to those later 'Teutonic/minimalist' albums, but I've never thought it was something they should have been embarrassed about. Ditto Kraftwerk 1 and 2.

Maybe they didn't wish to sully their history/mythology by highlighting the characters and reputations of the other two members who went on to form/ be involved with Neu!/Harmonia/La Düsseldorf.

You've probably heard/got this, but it's another little artifact from that early time that I enjoy.

Mind you, I've never warmed to Electric Cafe. If anything, that's the one I'd erase from the archive ;)
