Kometenmelodien stands for the euphoria that arises in the listener when he or she hears music that has never been there before - a hot, new hi-hat sound, that incredible bassline, the unreal, unique voice or the union of seemingly disparate styles.
Kraftwerk released their Kometenmelodien in 1973 as a single under the name Kahoutek - Kometenmelodie. The enthusiasm that sparked the discovery of the comet C / 1973 E1 by the Czech astronomer Kohoutek in the professional world, the expectation that this comet would indeed be the brightest radiating comet of the 20th century (it was not) … this faith is followed also by the events that take place within the framework of Kometenmelodien.
