Kraftwerk are to replicate their New York shows of earlier this year in London, playing their back catalogue at Tate Modern between 6-14 February, performing one album in its entirety each night.

Kraftwerk – The Catalogue 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 will see the electronic music pioneers perform with what are billed as "spectacular 3D visualisations and effects". The band also promise "improvisation", though reviews of the performances of the eight albums at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in April did not dwell on improvisatory passages, though they had been promised then, too.

The director of Tate Modern, Chris Dercon said: "As a former power station, Tate Modern's Turbine Hall is an ideal venue for Kraftwerk's explorations of technology, energy and rhythm. Bringing together music, video and performance, these events will be true gesamtkunstwerk – a total work of art." However, given the high ceiling and echoey acoustics of the Turbine Hall, it might turn out to be a better venue for Kraftwerk as an ongoing art project than as musicians.

Tickets for the shows cost £60 and go on sale on Wednesday 12 December at 7.30am, limited to a total of four per person. It is not possible to buy tickets for the entire series.
