Kraftwerk CD vs Vinyl

The CDs lack a lot of bass and sound really quite bad compared to when I saw them live. Simple question I suppose to anyone who owns either the vinyl or both the CD and the vinyl. Which is better? I'm after their more live dancy sound really. I worry that the vinyl might not be all that much better.

Cheers

Tom

Apparantly there is going to be a re-issue of all their CDs on EMI next year, hopefully as SACD hybrids.

The CD of Tour de France is fine

I think that ANY domestic CD system might lack the bass power of a concert PA!!!

Don't think "vinyl vs CD" will give you the answer you're looking for. Try a 50 kilowatt PA system...
