    A very influential L.P. for the world of electronica. Kraftwerk single handedly inspired thousands of musicians through their sounds of the not-so-near future. In my opinion, that sound is summed up in this release. Describing visions of a cold, automaton-controlled life which is now, in fact, materializing.

    Of course, if you are here you are likely to be looking for "The Robots". Which may just be their most well known track to date. You should give the other songs a fair ear as well, though. They are all great and special in their own right.
