As far as it goes, Kraftwerk took Stockhausen to the masses. They are the electronic Beatles, and like the Beatles, they took what was already there and went somewhere else that other creative people paid attention to and followed.
Long live Hütter, Schneider, Flür and Bartos, whatever they do!
Oh wow, I can't believe I forgot about this one. My father owned this record on TAPE. He had one of the originals. Man, I wish I could locate it. This whole album is GOLD.
Hard to wrap your mind around the fact that this was released in 1981 and sounds like it was produced in a studio today. To say Kraftwerk were geniuses would be overstating but my God...
AWWWWW THAT'S MY SHOT RIGHT THERE! This song is what, 30 years old, yet I still go nuts hearing it. Kraftwerk's music has been sampled so many times to the point there's a new generation that don't even know where it came from. Thanks for posting this.
